XRP’s Rise To $5 Is Imminent, Here’s Why

Ripple’s XRP has been trying to reach its all-time high for the last seven years. The asset only got slightly closer this year after a rather long wait. Amidst this uptick, the third-largest altcoin took a major hit just yesterday. XRP dipped below the coveted $3 mark shattering the hopes of the community. But the asset was seen recovering in no time as Ripple managed to snag prominent licenses in the United States.

XRP Emerges As A Top Gainer

During the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $3.11. This comes after a 12.20% rise over the past 24 hours. The magnitude of the cryptocurrency’s uptick made it one of the top performers of the day. Earlier today, the altcoin dipped to a low of $2.71.

While the overall market was recovering, XRP was pocketing much bigger gains. This was credited to Ripple’s regulatory wins. Ripple reportedly obtained Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) in Texas and New York. These two states are particularly renowned for their strict regulatory requirements. While Ripple Payments handles the customer’s complete transaction process, MTLs assist clients in using a licensed version of the service for cross-border payments in the US. Joanie Xie, Managing Director of North America at Ripple said,

“We’re continuing to see more interest from financial institutions to crypto businesses that want to unlock the benefits of crypto and blockchain for faster, cost-efficient, and 24/7 cross-border payments.”

When Will The Altcoin Reach $5?

According to CoinCodex, Ripple’s cryptocurrency has the potential to reach a new peak soon. The firm revealed that in the month of April, the altcoin will trade at a high of $4.70. This represents a notable rise of 50% from its current price level. While this is a few cents short of $5, the increasing utility and regulatory acceptance could push the asset to this peak even before April.
