Ripple and the Crypto Reserve Debate
Speculation about XRP being included in the U.S. crypto reserve began after a story in the New York Post. When asked whether they were involved in spreading rumors about XRP’s possible inclusion, Ripple denied any connection to the story.
XRP’s price has seen a huge increase, rising 32.48% in the last five days. At the beginning of this month, the price was $2.0841. Since then, it has jumped by 59.17%, reaching a seven-year high of $3.40. Currently, XRP is priced at $3.3204.
Experts believe both retail investors and large whale transactions played a major role in this price surge. Reports show that the number of daily active wallets holding XRP has increased from 10,000 to 100,000 in the past year. Additionally, liquidity on the XRPL DEX has quadrupled, showing increased market activity.
These events show how political factors can influence the dynamics of the crypto market.
