As a seasoned crypto investor with a few battle scars to show for it, I must admit that the recent surge of XRP has piqued my interest. The meteoric rise, reminiscent of a rocket launching straight into the cosmos, has caught the attention of many in this wild west of digital assets. However, I can’t help but recall the words of an old friend who once said, “Every time the market goes up, I get excited; every time it goes down, I get interested.
Experts are cautioning that the surge in Ripple’s native XRP (XRP) token might be due to excessive leverage, pushing the price to heights last seen in 2021.
According to a recent update on X dated December 1st, CryptoQuant analyst Maarten Regterschot pointed out an extraordinary increase in open interest for XRP (a term referring to active derivatives positions) within the past 24 hours. He cautioned that sudden surges could potentially lead to a swift liquidation.
Maartuun stated, “The Open Interest has increased by 37%, which typically signals potential volatility ahead. Previously, an occurrence like this resulted in a 17% decline.
“Stay sharp, manage risk accordingly.”
Based on information from CoinGlass, there’s been an impressive 30% increase in the open interest for XRP over the past 24 hours. This surge has pushed the total value up to around $4 billion, spread across prominent exchanges and trading platforms.
Currently, one unit of XRP is being traded for approximately $2.39, representing an impressive increase of 68% over the past month based on TradingView statistics. Over the same period, its value has surged by almost 370%.
Starting from November 6th when Donald Trump won the election, XRP started gaining momentum, not just itself, but also alongside prominent cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) and Solana (SOL). However, since then, XRP has been surpassing other significant digital tokens in its performance.
Starting from December 1st, XRP overtook Solana in terms of market capitalization and subsequently moved ahead of Tether (USDT), placing it as the third most valuable cryptocurrency overall.
XRP’s remarkable price surge is taking place due to a rising number of significant partnerships, innovative product launches from Ripple Labs, speculation about an XRP ETF, and unverified whispers about Elon Musk potentially investing substantially in both XRP and Ripple.
21Shares submitted an application for an XRP Exchange-Traded Fund on November 1, 2024, sparking excitement among investors that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), potentially under new leadership in January 2025, may grant approval to such applications.
