The digital currency XRP, associated with the Ripple network, has recently reached new all-time highs despite market corrections. This success highlights the ongoing growth of the cryptocurrency market and increasing institutional interest.

XRP's Record Surge

Last week, the XRP token reached an all-time high of $3.40 on the Bitstamp exchange, a level not seen in over seven years. XRP's market cap hit $185 billion, making it the third-largest cryptographic asset. Despite long positions accounting for 84% of losses, with $32.5 million liquidated over 24 hours, XRP remains on the rise, up 26% on the week and an astonishing 450.5% on the year.

Institutional Interest and Political Changes

ProShares, a leading provider of funds, recently filed for leveraged, inverse, and futures-based XRP ETFs, indicating heightened institutional interest in the token. On the political front, there is increased support for cryptocurrencies from the Trump administration. This is reinforced by a dinner with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty with Donald Trump on January 6, described as a 'strong start to 2025.'

Transfers to Binance and SEC Reshuffle

A notable transfer of 40 million XRP valued at $124.8 million to Binance raised public attention, although it was likely an internal transfer. Additionally, Ripple CTO David Schwartz commented on Gary Gensler's exit as SEC Chair, urging the community not to panic.

The steady growth of XRP, backed by institutional interest and political changes, emphasizes its significance in the cryptocurrency market. Future events may play a key role in shaping the trajectory of XRP and Ripple.
