Christmas Prediction
XRP’s latest drop in its price has pushed it further away from its all-time high of $3.84. According to data from CoinMarketCap, the asset is currently trading 42% below its all-time high of $3.84. Earlier this month, the altcoin surged as high as $2.86, which is quite close to its peak. However, XRP could find it challenging to leap towards $3 with the latest setback.
As the community sits still with high hopes for Christmas, XRP has other plans. CoinCodex revealed that Ripple’s cryptocurrency will most likely drop below $2.
