XRP Skyrockets 58% in Volume Amid $377 Million Crypto Market Sell-Off

XRP, the seventh largest cryptocurrency, has seen a significant increase in trading volumes, surging by 58% in the last 24 hours. This comes as the broader cryptocurrency market experienced a sell-off, resulting in $377 million in liquidations. The sell-off was prompted by reports of the U.S. investigating stablecoin issuer Tether for violations of sanctions and anti-money laundering regulations. However, Tether's CEO and CTO dismissed these reports, stating that there is no evidence of an investigation. The rise in XRP's trading volume could indicate market activity as traders respond to the sell-off by adjusting their positions or capitalizing on price movements. XRP's price has decreased by 2.29% within the past day and 7% over the week. Additionally, the market saw over $377 million in liquidations, with traders betting on higher prices losing significant amounts. This surge in liquidations could potentially signal a price reversal in the future. Cryptocurrency analytics platform, Santiment, suggests that negative market sentiment may lead to a bounce in the market next week.
