The entire cryptocurrency was painted in red. Most assets experienced a drastic drop, and all their recent gains disappeared. Amidst this, Ripple (XRP) also witnessed a bearish shift, dropping to a low of $0.44 earlier today.
At press time, the altcoin was trading at $0.46 following a 16% drop over the past 24 hours. It should be noted that XRP was trading at a high of $0.55 just a couple of hours before this dip.
Now let’s dive into the details about XRP.
Current XRP Market Situation
Along with its price, XRP’s market cap dropped to $25.7 billion. But investors were hoping for a boost in price, and they were examining the price of the asset if its market value surged to a high of $1 trillion.
Looking Back
During the 2021 bull run, XRP was expected to achieve a notable spike in its market value. However, when its price encountered resistance at $1.96 in April 2021, the highest it saw was $73.35 billion.
XRP could not even surpass a $60 billion valuation in October and November 2021. While achieving a market cap of $1 trillion seems almost unattainable, investors are confident about the asset’s potential rise.
Future Potential
XRP has a 200 million monthly inflation rate. It has a circulating supply of 55.96 billion tokens, which means that if its market capitalization reached $1 trillion, the altcoin’s price would have increased to $17.86. Amazing, right?
