Ripple jumps 50% again today, 3 reasons behind current XRP rally
In the last 24 hours, lots of digital assets in the crypto space have experienced a surge at the rangebound of 2-10%. Nevertheless, the cryptocurrency that is leading in the current wave is Ripple (XRP). Ripple is driving with almost 10% more gains than the others, even the Bitcoin.
Right from Tuesday this week, the price of XRP has increased by 40%. Considering that, Ripple has undisputedly been the growth leader on the daily price trend in the recent ‘nice-little-rally’ this time. It is important to know that its volatility has reached maximum heights since the beginning of this year.
As a result of the rangebound surges that are experienced in the crypto market currently, the total market capitalization totals to $2 billion. More importantly, the market cap of Ripple also reached $22 Billion – almost equivalent to Ethereum’s current market cap of $23 Billion.

Today, XRP even took Eth spot on coinmarketcap for a while as it became the second largest crypto, which the cryptocurrency couldn’t hold for long (on the third spot yet). At the time of press, Ripple (XRP) trades at $0.5663 after increasing by 53.01% in the last 24 hours.
The reasons behind extraordinary Ripple (XRP) price rally
Ripple has increased by a considerable percentage, which has left everyone in curiosity as to what are those factors that have made the crypto to rise so quickly. There indeed are certain reasons. It is essential to keep in mind that the current rally is not like the previous ones that have been experienced in the past.

A series of positive events have helped with Ripple’s rally. Recently, Ripple settled its clash with Blockchain Consortium. Also, its adoption has intensified since XRP can now be accepted on YouTube and Twitch, through an initiative by a technical startup, known as Coil. Let’s not forget that just recently, SBI also unveiled a platform called MoneyTap, which will run on Ripple’s network.
Recently, the Head of regulatory relations for Asia-Pacific and the Middle East at Ripple, Sagar Sarbhai, revealed that one of Ripple’s product –xRapid, will be launched next month. Later on, an announcement from Ripple, through its spokesperson stated that there isn’t any official date yet, but meanwhile, lots of crypto enthusiasts have already hyped the speculations.
Marcus Treacher, the global head of strategic accounts of Ripple, said Ripple is growing in different countries around the world rapidly. She said,
“RippleNet’s newest corridors have a combined potential market that totals over $2 Billion in inflows over the last year.”
Ripple’s strategic accounts global head added,
“InstaReM and RationalFX opened up new corridors from the United Kingdom to Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. Remitr and FlitterWave established a RippleNet corridor to Nigeria from Canada, the first connection on RippleNet in Africa. BeeTech and InstaRem creators from Brazil to Spain, Italy, Germany, France, and Portugal.”
Another reason for Ripple rally is FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out). Lots of investors are anxious to invest in Ripple’s XRP before it’s too late. It is seen that this may be detrimental as repeated sell-off in the market may be fierce as the rally itself.
The Status of the Cryptocurrency Market Currently
The 24-hour volume of BTC will have to maintain its position – if it is to keep its rally going in the next few weeks. At the time of writing, the price of Bitcoin has grown by 4.2% with a 24-hour volume of $6.4 Billion. On the other hand, the total volume of cryptocurrencies in the market is now at $23 Billion, after increasing from $12 Billion in the last 48 hours.
The market seems to be bullish at the moment as prices continue to soar. Not just for Ripple XRP or Bitcoin, a significant recovery is expected for all of the top cryptos throughout this month. Still, no one cannot (and shouldn’t) vouch for the crypto market by 100%, only the time will tell.

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.
SOL Outlook
Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.
The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.
This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…
Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.
Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally
Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.
The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.
SOL’s Bullish Cues
Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.
In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.
Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
