XRP Shows Resilience as Analyst Suggests it Could Be Market Leader

John Bollinger, creator of the Bollinger Bands, recently hinted that XRP could become a market leader, marking his first comment on the token in years.

He compared XRP’s resilience to resisting mythical temptations, a significant shift from his 2018 stance when he admitted to not having enough insight on the token’s future.

XRP has outperformed other cryptocurrencies recently, gaining 0.58% on Thursday while Bitcoin dropped over 4%.

Over the past few days, it has surged more than 16%, largely driven by Franklin Templeton’s filing for an XRP-based ETF. The $1.5 trillion investment firm joins other major players like Bitwise and WisdomTree in pursuing approval.

Additionally, Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC appears to be nearing an end, with the company reportedly seeking more favorable terms after last year’s $125 million fine. Meanwhile, the SEC is still deciding XRP’s regulatory status.
