Trading volume for Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, increased by an astonishing 90%, much to the satisfaction of traders and investors expecting higher pricing. During this time, traders exchanged almost 1.7 billion XRP tokens for a total trading volume of about $876 million.

Investigation shows that this increase in trading activity is a sign of a change in market sentiment as traders and investors pay more attention to XRP’s potential for price growth. A popular cryptocurrency trader, Shannon Thorp, is optimistic about XRP’s future performance and has hinted at more potential price increases.

The cryptocurrency community has taken notice of Thorp’s prediction that XRP might rise above $500 by 2027. Thorp’s conviction in the long-term potential of XRP as a digital asset is reflected in this audacious prediction.

Another trader, under the alias “EGRAG CRYPTO” on his X handle, has predicted a more cautious, still positive course for the price of XRP. EGRAG CRYPTO estimates that the value of a Ripple coin might range from “$2.8 to $5.5, possibly even stretching up to $6 -7.” This prediction is consistent with the opinion that XRP has space for significant future growth.

Experts Says XRP Comeback, A Good News For The Industry

Dimitar Dzhondzhorov, a cryptocurrency journalist with Crypto Potato, has said that the current increase in XRP’s price and trading volume coincides with a resurgence of enthusiasm and interest in the cryptocurrency market. Observation of trader’s reactions reveals that participants in the market view XRP’s comeback as a positive development following a period of consolidation and reduced trading volumes.

Dzhondzhorov also stated that the resurgent interest in digital assets and blockchain technology contributes to the rise in XRP’s price and trading activity. He added that institutional investors and major organizations are looking into the possible uses of cryptocurrencies since they have been widely accepted and recognized as valuable assets.

Further investigation into the recent XRP trend reveals that there has been a serious sign of a comeback in XRP in recent times. The assets have made a weekly spike in price and have not slowed down ever since. Historical analysis shows that the XRP rose to the $0.50 level, reaching a 10-day peak.

Analysis on the CoinGlass platform shows that XRP’s trading volume has surged significantly on different occasions within the week. CoinGlass also revealed that the number of charted Long/Short ratios obtained on the Binance exchange is at 2.83, in an upward trend.

This signifies that there has been a rise in the XRP metric, and there are more longer positions than shorter ones, hence a potential bullish trend among traders. Meanwhile, ChatGPT has made an official statement saying that XRP is likely to hit $3.40 once the regulatory environment calms down, a situation they claim may amount to the rise in the rare I’d XRP adoption.
