XRP’s price has recently captured the attention of the crypto community, surpassing $0.61. Comments from the Ripple $2 community heighten expectations that the cryptocurrency may enter a rally similar to that of 2017 when XRP reached its all-time high of $3.84. Moreover, favorable market trends, the potential approval of an XRP ETF, and clear regulations in the U.S. are fueling excitement for this rally.
Comments from the Ripple CEO
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse assessed the impact of elections on cryptocurrencies and XRP’s positioning. He noted that XRP was the “second most valuable digital asset” six years ago and has seen numerous developments since then. He highlighted that the SEC‘s aggressive stance against crypto, Ripple’s ongoing SEC case, and other factors could influence XRP’s price.
“The SEC’s stance towards crypto and the Ripple SEC case are significant factors affecting XRP’s price.”
Market experts anticipate clear regulations for crypto assets following Donald Trump’s election victory. Additionally, Trump’s success has sparked expectations regarding SEC Chairman Gary Gensler’s departure from office. News of the Chairman’s resignation would create a positive atmosphere in the markets, as many view him as a regulator opposed to crypto.
Future of XRP Price
XRP’s price reached $0.59 with a 0.4% increase, while trading volume surged by nearly 100% to $4.32 billion. According to CoinGlass data, open positions fell by 1% to $890.81 million.
Market observers believe that if XRP breaks its previous selling pattern and reaches $0.6649, maintaining above this level could lead the cryptocurrency towards the $1 mark in a short time. Positive developments within the Ripple community and potential regulatory support could strengthen XRP’s market position.
