XRP Surges on Announcement Despite RippleNet Not Requiring XRP

2018-9-21 17:47

Ripple’s token XRP is one of the top performers in the top 100 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. XRP has surged 15% over the past 24 hours, and this is its third consecutive gain. The token has mostly disappointed investors this year as it has fallen from near $3.3 highs in January to lows near $0.25. The price is now trading near $0.37. The recent surge came shortly after an announcement from the Ripple company that RippleNet is now operating in 40 countries across six continents. RippleNet is a decentralized network of financial institutions and payment providers.

It should be a surprise that price has surged on this news as the RippleNet does not necessitate the XRP token. RippleNet is part of Ripple’s xVia service, and the backbone for this decentralized network is the Interledger protocol which facilitates the payments to be sent quickly across the network. The only service of Ripple’s which requires the use of the XRP token is xRapid which is a low-cost liquidity solution aimed at emerging markets. Regardless, the XRP token has increased from around $0.27 to near $0.37 in the space of three days on large amounts of volume.
