The Bitcoin halving mania is famed for delivering a robust push to the entire cryptocurrency market. After witnessing the halving last week, leading altcoins such as Solana and Ethereum noted modest upticks, with their prices projected in green. XRP, too, followed the Halving push, rising 6% in the last 24 hours.
The XRP price push is a mix of two elements, where the recent SEC-Ripple legal update has caused the token to note a new price action. Similarly, with halving in the mix, the price of XRP has slightly ascended, fueling hopes for the token to cross $0.75 by the end of the week.
