XRP's price has dropped below $2 for the first time in over three months, raising concerns among investors and supporters of the cryptocurrency. However, experts assert that the issues are not related to the cryptocurrency itself.
Reasons for XRP's Price Drop
Analysts believe that the decline in XRP's price is not due to weak fundamentals but rather a result of broader market pressures. According to Versan Aljarrah, co-founder of Black Swan Capitalist, the recent drop reflects overall market volatility, not a failure in XRP’s utility or use case.

Geopolitical Factors Impacting the Market
Currently, the global crypto market is bearish. Over the last 24 hours, it has dropped by 2.6%, affecting nearly all major assets. The Israel-Iran conflict is believed to be the main trigger. On June 22, the U.S. bombed key Iranian nuclear sites, which prompted Iran to launch missiles at Israel and threaten U.S. bases in the Middle East.
Future Prospects for XRP
Despite the short-term drop, some analysts remain bullish on XRP. EGRAG Crypto predicts XRP could hit: $6.70, $13, or even $27 if historical trends repeat. Over the past year, XRP has gained 310.4%, outperforming even Bitcoin and Ethereum.
XRP's fall below $2 may be alarming, but market analysts urge caution. The decline appears to be part of a broader correction in the crypto market driven by geopolitical and macroeconomic shocks.
