Ever since Bitcoin and Ethereum prices have been on a recovery pump, leading the price of BTC and the price of ETH to trade above the $74,000 and $2,300 price ranges respectively, promising altcoin prices have also been steadily rising. These assets include SHIB, ADA, XRP, and many more. In detail, altcoin XRP price continues to explode, drawing massive attention to its potential and promise.
Expectations for altseason was high over the last two years as the price of Bitcoin (BTC), the pioneer crypto asset, went on to surge towards higher ATH price targets. With BTC having entered a higher range of 6-digit prices, and ETH price inching closer to its previous ATH price range, expectations for altcoins to hit new explosive ATH prices were stronger than ever, until the $20 billion liquidation event.
This devastating day led to all leverages and longs being wiped out and also $3 billion in short trades. What followed after were a few projects filing for bankruptcy and the prices of all crypto assets falling significantly. In the aftermath, most analysts called for the start of the bear market, while others believed a short crypto winter would play out before market prices could enter a recovery state.
Now, with both Bitcoin and altcoin prices on the rise again, these bullish sentiments are slowly tipping the scale. With promising assets like BTC, ETH, ADA, XRP, and more reclaiming higher prices at a steady pace, expectations for not only a bull market continuation, but also for the long-awaited altseason to play out comes to life again. Presently, XRP is holding all the attention.
As we can see from the post above, the XRP Ledger just smashed its all-time record after over 13 years of running. In particular, the network is celebrating over 7.7 million non-empty wallet holders for the first-time ever. What’s more, on Monday, it closed at a 5-week high of 46,767 active addresses while the price of XRP ripped by over 14% in just 48 hours, blasting past the $1.6 price target.
This sudden rise in price has now drawn attention to the project’s philosophy and potential. As the post above highlights, XRP is reportedly being considered to replace the entire U.S. SWIFT system, opening the door to a massive $1.5 quadrillion market. If this happens, some projections point to XRP blasting past $3,000 per coin. Trillions are preparing to enter the XRP Ledger, powered by XRP, a project aiming to digitize the global real estate market.
