XRP has revolutionized the cryptocurrency world, taking advantage of the power of blockchain. The only difference is the use of consensus protocol to validate a transaction instead of blockchain mining. As a result, price action on XRP has mostly been on the bullish side, but we have witnessed some major profit bookings each time XRP closed towards a fresh high.
After the May 2021 sell-off, XRP gained some traction by the end of July and reached above the $1.40 level by the starting of September 2021. But profit-booking started at higher valuations driving the XRP value to under $1, losing close to 40% of its value in a matter of weeks.
Despite the ups and downs, XRP has held the 6th position in terms of market capitalization and stands at a circulating valuation of $51.35 billion. This valuation is based on the circulating supply of XRP cryptocurrency, which is merely at 46.81% of its total supply.
