XRP Price Surges Over 11% – Here is the Reason

XRP is regaining momentum, following the crypto market resurgnance, breaking back above $0.50.

XRP is currently priced at $0.50, with a 24-hour trading volume of around $2 billion and a market cap of $28.35 billion, reflecting a 11.1% price increase in the last 24 hours.

Its all-time high was $3.92 on January 4, 2018, which means XRP still has a long way to go, before reclaiming its peak.

The recent surge in XRP’s price follows the announcement of new indices and reference rates by CME and CF Benchmarks, which Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse believes will boost institutional adoption.

Market conditions, including sales pressure from Mt. Gox and the German state of Saxony’s Bitcoin liquidation, have led to cautious buyer behavior.

Analysts suggest that significant gains in major tokens and altcoins are unlikely until Bitcoin sees a substantial upward movement.

However, XRP’s institutional support and strategic positioning may continue to drive its growth.
