The XRP cryptocurrency, affiliated with Ripple, has seen a positive start to the new year, increasing by 1.8% in the past 24 hours and currently trading at $2.17. It is the only top 10 cryptocurrency that is currently in the green, while other major altcoins such as Ethereum and Solana have experienced losses. XRP has also been one of the most traded cryptocurrencies in the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of nearly $4 billion. This follows XRP's strong performance in the fourth quarter of 2024, where it saw a significant rally. It achieved its highest-ever yearly close at $2.08, but is still far from its all-time high in early 2018. XRP has recently gained popularity in the South Korean cryptocurrency market. Traders have high expectations for XRP due to potential regulatory changes from the SEC, as well as the possibility of spot ETF filings for the token in the U.S., which could give it an advantage over other altcoins in 2025.
