The price of XRP has risen over 600% since November, reaching $3.40.
Bitcoin remains the most-traded asset on Binance, despite XRP leading on Coinbase.
XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market
capitalization, has surpassed Bitcoin (BTC) as the most-traded digital asset on
Coinbase. This development highlights a shift in US trading preferences on the
Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency exchange, often considered a barometer for
domestic demand.
XRP's price action shows resistance at the $3.35000 level,
entering a bearish correction phase. Analysts are monitoring the $3.20250 level
on intraday charts, which could indicate the next directional move for XRP/USD.
XRP Trading Volume Rises with Demand
The increase in XRP trading volume coincides with a broader
recovery in US demand. This trend was foreshadowed by the Coinbase premium
indicator, which suggested rising interest in XRP a week ago.
As of the latest data, the XRP/USD trading pair represented
23.8% of Coinbase's 24-hour trading volume, amounting to $1.65 billion. BTC/USD
and ETH/USD followed, accounting for 19.73% and smaller fractions,
respectively. On Binance, XRP maintained its position as the second-most traded
cryptocurrency.

Bitcoin continues to dominate trading volumes on Binance,
the largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, although it remains inaccessible
to US investors.
Since November, XRP has experienced a price increase
exceeding 600%, reaching $3.40, its highest level since 2017. This week's
valuation alone has grown by approximately one-third, according to CoinDesk and
TradingView.
XRP Approaches Key Support Level Again

The XRP/USD H1 chart shows that the price has been trending
upwards, following a trend line. After reaching $3.40000, the cryptocurrency
underwent a significant bearish correction. The $3.20250 level has served as
support, with the price reacting multiple times at this point. As the price
approaches this level once again, traders may watch for a potential bullish
reversal pattern to go long.
Ripple Faces SEC Appeal, Donates $100K in XRP, Expands XRP
Ledger Adoption in Japan
On January 15, 2025, the
US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed an appeal challenging a
federal court's ruling in its ongoing case against Ripple Labs. The SEC
contends that the New York District Court erred in determining that XRP sold to
retail investors was not part of an unregistered securities offering.
In other news, Ripple
announced a $100,000 donation in XRP to support communities affected by the
California wildfires. The donation will be directed to World Central Kitchen
and GiveDirectly, nonprofit organizations aiding in immediate relief and
long-term recovery. Entrepreneur Jared Isaacman has pledged to match the
donation, potentially doubling the assistance.
