XRP Makes the Headlines<\/h2>\n

The cryptocurrency sector experienced a substantial revival in the last 24 hours, with its global market capitalization rising above $3.5 trillion <\/span>once again<\/span>. Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Solana (SOL), Cardano (ADA), and many more leading digital assets are well in the green today (January 15)<\/span>, but some<\/span> lead the pack with double-digit price spikes.<\/span><\/p>\n

One notable gainer is Ripple\u2019s XRP, whose valuation recently hit<\/a> a 7-year high of almost $2.90. <\/span>Currently, the price is hovering around $2.88 (per CoinGecko\u2019s data), representing a 14% <\/span>increase on a daily scale<\/span>.

Alongside its significant surge, XRP became the top-trending cryptocurrency on January 14. <\/span>According<\/span><\/a> to Santiment, the <\/span>reasons behind the<\/span> buzz surrounding the asset <\/span>are<\/span> the increased optimism over its potential use in banking and financial transactions, the bullish predictions of a further rally, and the XRP ETF speculations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The platform\u2019s research estimated that <\/span>the second most-trending cryptocurrency is<\/span> Ethereum (ETH)<\/span>. The interest <\/span>is supposedly fueled by the introduction of Soneium (an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain solution developed by Sony).<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere are multiple transactions involving significant amounts of ETH, highlighting active trading and investment throughout the Ethereum ecosystem,\u201d Santiment added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other cryptocurrencies that have captured the attention of industry participants <\/span>as of late<\/span> include Bitcoin (BTC), Kaspa (KAS), and <\/span>Peanut the Squirrel (PNUT)<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

XRP Targets Fresh Peaks<\/span><\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, numerous analysts believe the price of Ripple\u2019s native token could reach a new all-time high as soon as this year. X user CRYPTOWZRD recently <\/span>claimed<\/span><\/a> that the asset \u201chas flipped previous resistance to support\u201d of around $2 and is now poised to soar to $4 and then $8. They said such a scenario would mirror the pre-bull run in 2017 and the subsequent rally the following year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The veteran<\/span> trader Peter Brandt also <\/span>chipped in. He outlined<\/span> multiple bullish forecasts lately, <\/span>assuming<\/span><\/a> that XRP\u2019s market capitalization could explode above $500 billion.<\/span> Such a pump would result in a price increase of almost $9.50.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is worth mentioning that Brandt has been predominantly anti-XRP for the past several years. Earlier this month, though, he <\/span>apologized<\/span><\/a> for his stance and wished the Ripple community all the best.<\/span><\/p>\n
