At the beginning of the 24-hour cycle, XRP was trading at an extremely low price of $0.36 with a market cap of over $15 billion. Post this, the token took an upturn and began to trade at $0.38. Finally, XRP broke out above the mark set at $0.40 to trade around $0.43 wherein its market cap also blew out of proportion with an add-on of at least $2.5 billion in just a day. At present, the trade volume of the coin has hiked above a billion dollars.
This hike could be noted as a reward to the XRP community after the head of Binance, Changpeng Zhao confirmed that his platform will add XRP as a base pair with Tron [TRX] and Zcoin [XZC] today.
However, this speculation cannot be confirmed as the maximum trade volume for the token is flowing in from a cryptocurrency exchange called Bitbank wherein the current volume is recorded at $165.6 million and can be credited to the pair XRP/JPY.
The second largest trade volume is coming from a Korean exchange called Upbit wherein the figures are equaling at $138.2 million in the pair of XRP/KRW.
According to the XRP community, this is just the beginning as many predictions have been made for XRP, claiming that the cryptocurrency might reach an inconceivable trading price of above $500 in a foreseeable future.
