XRP’s recent price increase, reaching a three-month high, has sparked interest within the cryptocurrency community, including from some of its most vocal critics. This renewed attention highlights the significant turnaround XRP has experienced, transitioning from a generally disregarded asset to one commanding increased attention.
Bitcoin Advocate Expresses Interest in XRP
MMCrypto, a prominent social media personality known for his strong support of Bitcoin, recently surprised many by acknowledging XRP’s impressive performance.
Despite maintaining his reservations about XRP as an investment, MMCrypto publicly revealed he is closely monitoring its price movement. This shift in stance, from a staunch Bitcoin proponent to someone actively observing XRP, reflects the cryptocurrency’s unexpected momentum.
The XRP community has responded with amusement to MMCrypto’s newfound interest, anticipating a potential influx of former skeptics joining the XRP investment wave. This development underscores the potential for XRP to attract a broader investor base as its market performance improves.
Market Analysts Acknowledge XRP’s Rise
XRP’s price increase has not gone unnoticed by market analysts either. Krillin, an analyst previously expressing strong skepticism towards XRP, recently acknowledged its price surge. While maintaining his characterization of XRP as a questionable investment, he conceded that the price had reached a previously identified “area of interest,” suggesting the potential for significant price movement.
XRP’s price rose by approximately 43% following this commentary, prompting Krillin to engage with the situation. In a subsequent update, he acknowledged XRP’s gains with a challenge, stating a desire to see the price reach $1.

Mainstream Media Takes Notice
Beyond the cryptocurrency community, mainstream media outlets such as Bloomberg have also begun to take notice of XRP’s recent growth. A recent Bloomberg report referred to XRP as a “little-known cryptocurrency,” highlighting its unexpected emergence as a market leader. The report attributed the current rally to speculation surrounding a potential settlement in Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit.
Although the lawsuit’s resolution is a significant factor influencing XRP’s price, and a potential settlement could lead to increased market adoption for XRP, it downplays the strength of the token.
According to an XRP enthusiast, Jeffrey W. Bromfield, despite a multi-year US government lawsuit, XRP has remained a top 10 cryptocurrency since 2013. This goes to show the resilience of the token.
