The Latest Breaking News from XRP

$XRP and $SOL jumped Thursday night after a report went viral regarding Donald Trump supposedly weighing the possibility of a digital asset reserve that prioritizes altcoins issued by companies based in America.

The banking giant projects each ETP could bring in $3 billion to $8 billion in investment.

$XRP has once again hit a new milestone, breaking $3 for the first time in since 2018 even as the SEC filed an appeal in its case against Ripple.

Ripple will donate $100,000 of XRP to World Central Kitchen.

The $XRP token climbed Wednesday night after Ripple's Brad Garlinghouse and Stuart Alderoty had dinner with President-elect Donald Trump and Bitstamp announced an $RLUSD listing.

Ripple is expecting a busy year in 2025 as it continues to work at getting the $RLUSD stablecoin on other exchanges and platforms, and it may also be preparing for massive impact as hopes for an $XRP ETF rise.

Donald Trump's election was widely embraced by the crypto space, and one of the apparent beneficiaries of the President-elect's upcoming re-entry into the White House is Ripple, which overcame a four-year legal struggle with the SEC and is now ready to make crypto great again in its home turf.

$RLUSD has stabilized at $1, seemingly affecting $XRP prices positively as the altcoin surged 15% in the last 24 hours – some crypto users believe the uptick may be related to FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) around $USDT's fate in the European Union.

$XRP was definitely one of the most-followed altcoins this year as it grappled with the SEC and weathered four years of legal woes only to climb to the same prices when it used to challenge Bitcoin in the market cap race.

Altcoins were the biggest story of 2024 even with Bitcoin getting ETFs approved and hitting a new all-time high above $108,000 as some alternative cryptocurrencies eclipsed $BTC's year-to-date performance even with several market downturns.

Cryptocurrency prices may be recovering, as some altcoins are making significant moves despite the broader market downturn, including $HBAR, $SUI, and $XRP.
