XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, is back from the hospital, livelier than ever, and ready to party alongside BitcoinBitcoin. The coin, currently worth $0.64, has increased by 26% in the past 24 hours.
XRP’s price latched onto the Bitcoin mothership, which overnight soared from about $20,000 to highs of $23,587, according to CoinMarketCap. At $0.64, its market capitalization totals $29 billion.
The price of the coin had plummeted this week following a huge airdropairdrop of free Spark (FLR) tokenstokens to anyone who held XRP in certain exchanges or walletswallets. Following Flare Network’s snapshot of the market on Friday, the price of XRP fell from $0.56 to lows of $0.45 yesterday.
And then, zoop! Zip! Zippity! Back up to $0.64 today, just as Bitcoin price its all-time high, surpassing those days of unbridled joy at the end of 2017, when Bitcoin hit not-quite $20,000.
Volumes for XRP increased, too, suggesting heightened demand for the coin, which has been even more volatile than Bitcoin in this winter’s bull run.
XRP is the cryptocurrency developed by crypto payments firm Ripple. The company builds software that uses XRP to settle cross-border transactions. Ripple currently holds 6 billion XRP ($3.6 billion) and sells it periodically to fund its business.
In last night’s lull, $10 billion worth of XRP had been traded in the previous 24 hours, according to CoinMarketCap. Readings from current data show that daily trading volumes are almost double that, at $19.2 billion.
Still, volumes aren’t quite as high as they were at the end of November when XRP hit $0.71, its highest price of the year. On November 24, its peak, daily trading volumes hit $33 billion.
But while the crypto market enters uncharted territory, eyes glued to Bitcoin’s price, who’s looking back?

The price of Bitcoin continues to surge, with spot Bitcoin ETFs in the rearview mirror and the halving coming in April.

Bitcoin today hit $39,000 per coin for the first time since a brutal digital asset crash in May 2022 that brought with it a long and painful bear market. The virtual coin has since made a terrific comeback: at the start of January, it was trading for less than $17,000 per coin; it is now up 128%. Could this mean we’re seeing the beginning of a bull run? Some experts say it’s only up from here. A lot has happened in the crypto space since blockchain project Terra collapsed last year, leading...
In a move that surprised some experts, Invesco Ltd, an investment management company with $1.3 trillion in assets under management, decided not to immediately pursue its Bitcoin futures application. “We have determined not to pursue the launch of a Bitcoin futures ETF in the immediate near-term,” an Invesco spokesperson told Bloomberg.
