The crypto, currently ranked 3rd overall by market cap, led the top 10 by registering gains of around 5% (at the time of writing). Despite these recent gains, XRP has not yet erased the losses suffered over the weekend, as it is still down by more than 3% for the week”.
Coinbase listing XRP and the speculation of Ripple Liquid Index on NASDAQ has caused the market sentiment to side strongly by the altcoin.
