Since the US elections last November, XRP has surged from a level below $0.6 and a market cap of $30-35 billion to a record high of $3.65 in mid-July. Despite some corrections, the token now trades slightly above $3.
Ripple's Ecosystem Development
Amidst price growth, Ripple has also achieved significant progress in other areas, such as nearing a resolution in its legal case with the SEC, acquiring Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, and expanding its token portfolio. Notably, there has been an increase in the accumulation of XRP by various entities for strategic reserves.
