a year ago

XRP has become the third-largest cryptocurrency, surpassing Tether with a market cap of $142 billion. The price reached $2.44, its highest since January 2018.

Factors Behind XRP's Growth

XRP's price surge is attributed to several factors, including the progress in Ripple's legal battle with the SEC. Speculation about a favorable outcome has boosted market confidence. Rumors of an ETF based on XRP have also added to the optimism. Changes in SEC leadership and political shifts in the US could create a more favorable regulatory environment.

Ripple's RLUSD Token Burn

Ripple burned 46.67 million RLUSD tokens, reducing the total supply to 100,000, sparking investor optimism. Ripple is expected to receive approval to launch RLUSD in New York, potentially as early as December 4, 2024.

Analysts Warn of Potential Volatility

Some analysts warn of potential volatility and sharp sell-offs. Maarten Regterschot noted that open interest is up by 37%, which could lead to price declines. CoinGlass data shows XRP open interest at $4 billion, indicating increased interest in the asset.

Open Interest is up 37% already—watch for volatility.

XRP is experiencing significant growth, strengthening its position in the crypto market. However, investors should be cautious of potential volatility risks.
