How XRP Pulled Off A 33% Rally Over The Past 7 Days

Ripple (XRP) price has registered an impressive 33% advance above the key resistance zone as seen in the past week.         XRP notably spikes by 10% on September 22         Ripple confident to win legal feud against SEC The token also skyrocketed 10% as seen on September 22, as the crypto market plunged in a sea of red. Although a bit of improvement with Bitcoin raking up gains by 4.9% and Ethereum spiking by 7.3%, XRP was still leading that day. According to CoinMarketCap, XRP price is up by 4.47% or trading at $0.5051 as of this writing. Related Reading: Polkadot Suffers 10% Weekly Loss On Hawkish Fed – Time To Buy DOT? Update On Legal Feud With SEC Raises Investor Optimism XRP price demonstrates a surge of over 45% as seen since August. Reportedly, Ripple Labs has recently filed a motion for summary judgment on September 18 which involves allowing the court to wrap it up and make a final decision based on the facts presented in line with whether XRP is to be considered a security. The recent update on the legal proceedings has stirred some optimism and pumped up investor sentiment regarding the long-term haul of XRP. More so, the open interest of XRP has notably improved as it has increased to $575 million from just $310 million in the past week. Traders who are looking to get in should wait for the 200-day EMA set at $0.48 to see if it would swing to support in the coming days. As of press time, XRP’s total market capitalization is at $25.14 billion as it climbed by $3 billion the previous day. Related Reading: What Ethereum Can Bring On The Table For ETH Investors In Q4 Image: CoinMarketCap XRP Seen With Strong Bullish Strides On the daily chart, the XRP price is noted to have bounced back after it dropped and is now enjoying a bull run. The bulls are targeting to breach the key resistance spotted at $0.4306 and once this is done, XRP could shoot for $0.49 next. Amid the optimism shown by XRP, a breach targeted at the key support zone of $0.392 will reveal signs of buyer weakness. More so, this will also invalidate the bullish thesis and give the power back to the bears. If this happens, the XRP price could plunge and revisit the key support zone at $0.38. XRP is seen to move with strong strides despite the hurdles experienced by the broader crypto market. The bullish streak is associated with the robust developments happening in the legal battle between Ripple and SEC. Although both SEC and Ripple agreed to a summary judgment, Ripple seems to be more confident that they’ll win following several tweets by Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s legal counsel, saying that SEC wasn’t able to satiate the Howey Test set by the Supreme Court. The Howey Test helps regulators assess and categorize an asset as a security. More so, Brad Garlinghouse, Ripple CEO, firmly believes that SEC may not be keen on abiding by the law but would want to remake it.

Ripple CEO Calls Q4 2024 a Defining Chapter for XRP as Latest Markets Report Shows Remarkable Growth

The Ripple CEO has called Q4 2024 a pivotal moment in XRP history as the latest XRP markets report highlights impressive growth metrics.Notably, upon the release of Ripple's Q4 2024 XRP Markets report, the payment company's CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted the importance of the quarter, describing it as one of the most remarkable periods in XRP's history. "Q4 2024 was absolutely one for the XRP history books," Garlinghouse remarked, as the quarterly report revealed a dramatic turnaround, with XRP surging 280%. The report also noted the easing of regulatory pressure, growing institutional interest, and a changing U.S. regulatory atmosphere.https://twitter.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1885451326131187947XRP 280% Surge and Institutional DemandThe Ripple report pointed out that XRP experienced a 280% increase in value throughout Q4 2024, marking a major recovery from years of underperformance amid regulatory setbacks. Ripple stressed that before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) targeted Ripple in 2020, XRP was a strong contender for the second spot among the largest crypto assets. However, following the charges, XRP's underperformance pushed it below the top 5 at some point.Now, with regulatory challenges easing, XRP has regained strength, supported by strong trading volumes and growing investor confidence. XRP closed the quarter as the third largest crypto asset and looks primed to start contesting for the second spot again.Notably, the report revealed that spot trading volumes for XRP skyrocketed after the U.S. presidential election. In early Q4, daily trading volumes were stable at $1 billion but declined to $500 million by mid-November. Following the election, activity surged to an average of $5 billion per day, with a record $25 billion on Dec. 2. Binance led with 36% of total spot volume, followed by Upbit (20%) and Coinbase (9%). U.S. exchanges like Coinbase and Kraken gained market share after the election.  XRP Spot Trading VolumeMoreover, institutional interest in XRP continued to rise, with major financial firms taking steps toward launching XRP-based investment products. WisdomTree filed an S-1 application for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF), joining Bitwise, Canary Capital, and 21Shares. New US Crypto Policies and SEC DevelopmentsIn addition, the report confirmed the important role the U.S. elections played in driving XRP's growth. For context, XRP's Q4 2024 uptrend began on Nov. 5 following the Donald Trump election victory. The new administration promised to fire anti-crypto SEC Chair Gary Gensler and create clear rules for the industry. Upon inauguration, President Trump signed an executive order promoting regulatory clarity and fair banking access for legal crypto businesses. It also established a working group to focus on digital asset markets.Further, leadership changes at the SEC brought fresh perspectives. For context, Chair Gensler resigned on Jan. 20 and the Trump administration appointed Mark Uyeda, known for criticizing the SEC's stance on crypto, as acting Chair. Growth in XRP Market and On-Chain MetricsMeanwhile, during Q4, XRP's realized volatility remained low in early November at 40% but surged past 200% after the U.S. election. By the end of the year, volatility settled at 160%. XRP's price peaked at $2.70 by late November, marking a more than 500% increase from earlier in the quarter.  XRP Price and VolatilityMoreover, XRP's average daily trading volume reached $3.4 billion on top-tier exchanges. The XRP-to-Bitcoin ratio climbed 130%, despite Bitcoin hitting an ATH of around $108,000. XRP trading against U.S. dollars and USD-backed stablecoins increased from 14% in Q3 to 25% in Q4, while most trades continued to involve USDT.  The XRP Ledger (XRPL) showed strong on-chain activity, despite a slight decline in total transactions to 167 million. Automated market maker (AMM) swaps saw explosive growth, rising from $31.23 million in Q3 to $774.15 million in Q4. This surge contributed to total DEX volume surpassing $1 billion.  New wallet creations jumped massively, reaching 709,000 in Q4 compared to 140,000 in Q3. The growing adoption of XRPL-based tokens and meme coin platforms fueled this trend. Rising XRP prices led to an increase in transaction fees, with total XRP burned climbing from 592,000 in Q3 to 724,000 in Q4.
