XRP has experienced a remarkable rally, climbing to $1.84 and achieving its highest value in over three years, with a staggering 267% increase this month.
This surge is fueled by rising demand, institutional interest in crypto payments, and a favorable regulatory environment in the U.S.
Analysts suggest that XRP’s growth is driven by its strong position in global payments and improved sentiment toward cryptocurrencies. Large holders, or “whales,” have accumulated over $1.12 billion in XRP recently, reflecting confidence in its long-term potential.
However, this accumulation raises questions about possible profit-taking as the altcoin approaches the $2.00 mark.
Breaking the $2.00 resistance could further boost XRP, attracting more investors and pushing its price higher. Yet, a market correction or whale sell-offs could pose risks. For now, XRP’s upward trend appears intact, with potential for continued growth in the weeks ahead.
