The Reserve Rights (RSR) token has surged an astonishing 138% in just 24 hours, reaching $0.02518—its highest level since early 2022. This explosive rally has turned heads in the crypto world, with whispers of a major shake-up at the SEC adding fuel to the fire. Why?
Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and early Reserve Rights supporter, might be chosen as the next chair. Could RSR be gearing up for an even bigger breakout? Let’s dive in.
RSR, an ERC-20 token crucial to the Reserve Protocol, saw its price jump from $0.00933 to $0.02518 in a single day. This spike also triggered a dramatic 3,100% surge in trading volume, pushing it to $1.26 billion.
RSR’s gains have outpaced most cryptocurrencies during the broader market rally that started in early November. Over the past week, the token is up 177%, with over 300% growth in the last month. Its market cap has soared to $1.17 billion, marking a 130% increase within just 24 hours.
A major factor behind RSR’s rise is speculation surrounding Paul Atkins. Reports suggest that President-elect Donald Trump could appoint Atkins to replace Gary Gensler as SEC chairman.
Atkins played a key role in Reserve Rights’ early development and is known for his pro-crypto stance. Although he no longer has direct involvement with the project, his association has rekindled investor optimism. Nevin Freeman, co-founder of Reserve, praised Atkins’ openness to cryptocurrency during the project’s formative stages.
Freeman believes that if Atkins leads the SEC, it could create a more favorable regulatory climate for RSR and other crypto assets.
RSR’s technical performance adds to the excitement. Since September 2023, the token has shown steady growth, breaking out of a long-term downtrend that began after its 2021 all-time high. This breakout signals the end of a lengthy correction phase and the beginning of a new upward trend.
Crypto analyst Gert van Lagen has identified a bullish “Head and Shoulders bottom” pattern in RSR’s chart.
If the token breaks past the resistance of $0.045, potentially reaches its all-time high of $0.1189. In the long term, the token might aim for milestones like $2 and even a target of $9.
At the same time, the Reserve Protocol is seeing more adoption. Its total value locked (TVL) has risen from $15 million to $283 million in just one month.
Paul Atkins, an early advisor to Reserve Rights, has shown support for cryptocurrency, leading investors to speculate that his potential SEC chairmanship could benefit RSR.
The Reserve Protocol’s total value locked (TVL) rose from $15 million to $283 million in just one month, signaling increasing adoption and growth.
Whether or not the Atkins speculation comes true, the token’s momentum shows no signs of slowing.
