While Ripple (XRP) traders eagerly await a potential surge towards the $5 mark, new market analysis suggests a delay in this trajectory is likely. Investor interest has shifted toward Mutuum Finance (MUTM), an altcoin experiencing rapid adoption and attracting attention away from major cryptocurrencies like XRP. Early investors in MUTM are expected to secure a minimum 300% ROI post-listing. This token’s strong initial traction, surpassing $15.1 million raised through its presale and over 15,800 investors, has sparked renewed interest in the DeFi space, diverting attention from XRP. Analysts remain cautious about XRP’s price movement due to potential pullbacks or lackluster trading volume despite acknowledging bullish factors such as decreasing legal uncertainties, expanding On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) adoption and possible ETF listings.
