XRP’s Midnight Surge: Will You Wake Up to $4?

by

Oh, the world of cryptocurrencies, where dreams are made and lost in the blink of an eye, or perhaps, while you’re fast asleep. XRP, the token that has been the talk of the town, has once again found itself in the limelight after a rather impressive rally. The price has soared to $2.77, marking a 7% increase in the last 24 hours. It even flirted with $2.96 earlier today, its highest point in four months. Now, the whispers in the market suggest that the next big move could be just around the corner, or perhaps, while you’re dreaming of sheep jumping over fences. 🐑💰

“Don’t be surprised if you wake up randomly this week and $XRP is $4+,” crypto analyst Edoardo Farina mused, hinting at a potential breakout that could push XRP past its 2018 all-time high of $3.84. A bold prediction, indeed, but one that’s gaining traction as the broader crypto market starts to show signs of life. 🌱🚀

XRP Surges While Altcoin Season Naps

Despite the rally, most analysts agree that the altcoin season hasn’t officially begun. The Altcoin Season Index is currently at a modest 28 out of 100, indicating that Bitcoin is still the king of the hill. This makes XRP’s 25% weekly gain all the more remarkable. If this is how it’s performing before the altcoin wave hits, many believe the upside could be much higher once the full cycle kicks in. 🌊🔥

Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin: A New Dawn?

Adding to the excitement is Ripple’s recent progress with RLUSD, its new stablecoin. Last week, Ripple announced that BNY Mellon, the oldest U.S. bank, would serve as the official custodian for RLUSD reserves. Ripple is also working to secure a national bank license and a Federal Reserve master account, which could give RLUSD a significant edge in the regulated stablecoin space. RLUSD has now crossed $500 million in market cap, becoming the eighth-largest stablecoin, and it runs on the XRP Ledger. Since XRP is used to pay transaction fees, this is directly boosting its utility. 🏦✨

ETF Launches: The Catalysts of Change

The XRP rally is also being fueled by ETF developments. Several futures-based XRP ETFs are set to launch in July:

  • ProShares will release three products by July 14
  • Turtle Capital’s 2x Long XRP ETF launches on July 21
  • Volatility Shares also plans to debut two XRP ETFs the same day

Meanwhile, over 10 spot ETF applications are still under review by the SEC. While none have been approved yet, the growing interest is pushing confidence higher. 📈🌟

Whale Activity: The Silent Giants

Behind the scenes, XRP whales are making significant moves. Data from Santiment shows there are now 2,742 wallets holding at least 1 million XRP, just one wallet short of the all-time high. Together, these large holders now control over 47.32 billion XRP, a clear sign of rising long-term confidence in the token. 🐳🌊

“Going All-In on XRP Should Be a Priority,” Says Analyst

Well-known crypto commentator Oscar Ramos advises investors not to take this momentum lightly. According to him, XRP should be a top priority in any portfolio right now, especially with Bitcoin recently hitting an all-time high of $118,800 and the altcoin market picking up speed. 🚀💼

Ramos isn’t alone. Influencer Alex Cobb has predicted XRP could reach $22.50 by December, pointing to strong market structure and growing demand. Between its price rally, ETF launches, whale accumulation, and Ripple’s stablecoin push, XRP is showing strength on multiple fronts. 🌟📈

Whether it hits $4 this week or not, the market is watching XRP closely. This is an interesting one to follow!
