Ripple’s XRP cryptocurrency has set a new milestone, surpassing its previous all-time high from 2017 in an impressive surge that saw it close above the $2 mark for the first time. This historic feat occurred after eight years of resistance at the $2 level, according to U.Today. 2024 witnessed XRP’s record-breaking rally with a massive jump of 284% in November, finally overcoming the 2017 peak and reaching new heights. The momentum continued into January, with XRP hitting its current peak close at $3.03. This surge was fueled by a positive shift in regulatory sentiment under new Acting Chairman Uyeda, who replaced former SEC Chair Gary Gensler, a vocal critic of XRP. However, XRP’s momentum has since waned, and recent trends indicate a decline in investor interest.
