    XRP Ripple News: $100B Market Cap Nears, Bitcoin & Ethereum Left Behind!

    Story Highlights
    • XRP has surged significantly in the past 24 hours, outperforming major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum.

    • The market cap of XRP has reached its highest point since April 2021, and experts predict it could soon surpass $100 billion.

    • The bullish sentiment surrounding XRP is strong, with prominent figures like John Deaton expressing optimism.

    In the past 24 hours, XRP has surged an impressive 22.6%, outperforming nearly all major cryptocurrencies. While Bitcoin (+1.1%), Ethereum (+7.7%), Solana (+6.7%), BNB (+2.7%), Dogecoin (+1.8%), and Cardano (+9.8%) have seen smaller gains, XRPโ€™s rise stands out.

    As of November 21, XRPโ€™s market cap was $62.86 billion. Since then, itโ€™s jumped nearly 25.5%. With this momentum, could XRP be on track to reach a $100 billion market cap? Letโ€™s break it down.

    XRPโ€™s Current Price and Market Cap Scenario: An Overview 

    On November 5, XRPโ€™s market cap was about $28.61 billion. By November 16, it had risen to $63.77 billion, a 122.89% increase in less than two weeks. As of now, the market cap stands at $79.59 billionโ€”the highest since April 15, 2021. XRP is on the brink of hitting the $80 billion mark, and the bullish sentiment in the market continues to grow.

    On November 5, XRP was priced at just $0.5114. By November 16, it had surged to $1.1205, marking an incredible 119.10% increase in under two weeks. In the past seven days alone, XRP has risen by 74.1%.

    In the last 24 hours, it outperformed almost every other major cryptocurrency with a 22.6% increase. As of writing, XRP is priced at $1.3935, a level not seen since September 7, 2021.

    John Deatonโ€™s $100 Billion Prediction: Is It Possible?

    Pro-crypto attorney John Deaton is optimistic about XRPโ€™s future, predicting that its market cap could soon reach $100 billion. Heโ€™s not the only oneโ€”other influential figures in the crypto world, like attorney Bill Morgan, have also expressed strong confidence in XRPโ€™s potential.
