XRP price surge – Ripple (XRP) has continued to show impressive gains for the better part of this week. The coin has grown over 8% amid Ripples’ legal battle with the SEC and an apparent volatile environment.
Despite the irregular market trend in the price of cryptocurrencies this week, XRP has maintained growth. According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP has remained one of the top-traded cryptocurrencies over the past week. Its trade volume is up over 47% in the last 2 hours.
However, considering the level of volatility that the market is currently facing, the question of whether XRP will finish the week in “green” is yet to be known. Different cryptocurrencies grow at different rates. Bitcoin, for example, has dropped over 2% over the past day and has fallen below the key support level of $27,000.
