XRP JUMPS 13% AHEAD OF RIPPLE STABLECOIN LAUNCH.
saw its price jump 21% over the last seven days and 13% over the last 24 hours, trading at $2.69 as of press timeâjust as the Ripple USD (RLUSD) stablecoin launches on the network.
XRP was launched by the co-founders of Ripple Labs in 2012, but the company has gone to great lengths to stress that it is not the issuer of the token. Still, crypto traders know thereâs a link and tend to consider good news for Ripple Labs, like its new stablecoin being approved by New York regulators, as an indicator that the XRP price will go up.
Founder of Obchakevich Research Alex Obchakevich told Decrypt that âXRP has the largest growth over the past week among the top 10 cryptosâ with its growth significantly overtaking Bitcoinâs 10% gain over the same timespan.
âXRP has been consolidating in this bull flag for a while, but once it clears the $2.60 resistance, I think itâs off to the races, heading toward $4,â he added.
Over-the-counter trading desk principal at Wintermute, Jake Ostrovskis, told Decrypt that âXRP has benefited from being 'known' in retail circles, whilst bullishness around the new U.S. administration is leading traders to front-run a potential ETF [exchange traded fund] launch.â
The comments follow a late November filing by New York asset manager WisdomTree, making it the latest firm to register its interest in launched an XRP spot ETF product.
Adam O'Neill, chief marketing officer at Bitrue exchange, told Decrypt that âwith XRP ETFs also a likely event in 2025 we would anticipate a new all-time high for this coin by end of Q1 at the latest.â
He also added that the platform expects âa boost in demand for XRP through 2025 because so many pieces are falling into place.â He highlighted how the firmâs battles against regulators ânow appear to be a thing of the pastâ and XRP is âset to be a major beneficiary from Trump's pro-crypto administration.â
