Following the bullish sentiment in the crypto markets, Ripple has broken above the $0.34 level, for the second time over the past 24 hours of trading. The cryptocurrency has now seen an impressive 8.5% weekly price spike.
It’s likely to say that Ripple has the largest inverse correlation to Bitcoin. Hence, the last bull-run of Bitcoin did cause XRP-USD to raise. However, XRP-BTC hadn’t changed much.
Ripple is still ranked on the third position of the largest cryptos by market cap as it currently holds a $13.7 billion market cap.
