XRP has surpassed Ethereum (ETH) in trading volume, reflecting growing investor confidence. The cryptocurrency has recorded a strong price rally as its weekly gain surpasses Ethereum’s. This activity in the market may be a continuation of this trend, or XRP price could get to $5 soon. XRP Outperforms Ethereum in Trading Volume and Price Growth XRP’s $27.6 billion was a 24-hour trading volume, which topped that of Ethereum’s $27.64 billion. The asset is up 11.43 percent over the past day and 45.29 percent over the week. XRP was trading at $3.32 at press time with a market cap of $189.76 billion — making it one of the top performers amongst digital assets right now. Meanwhile, Ethereum has declined by 0.32% in the last 24 hours while rising by 2.19% in the past seven days. Trading at $3,323.08, ETH is still trading very well, but is behind XRP in terms of recent momentum. Whale Accumulation and Market Trends Fuel XRP’s Rally Blockchain analysis firm Santiment had reported that 1.43 billion XRP have been collected by XRP whales in their last two months, or an increase of 37 percent in demand. XRP’s price surge and renewed bullish sentiment in the market has been due to this whale activity. “Buying XRP at $3 may seem like a good idea, but buying when I did at $2.48—and during the dip at $2.40—would have been better. You’d already be up 24%,” said crypto analyst Ali, highlighting the recent price movement.

At the same time, Bitcoin (BTC) briefly surpassed $100,000, giving a well needed emotional boost to the entire crypto industry. – Advertisement – Technical Indicators Suggest XRP Could Break…
