Ripple released many XRP tokens from its escrow on New Yearโ€™s Day amid its monthly plan. Whale Alert data emphasized that Ripple released 500 million XRP from its escrow account for an unspecified location.

The unlocked tokens were worth over $1 billion.ย  The token broke the $2.2 resistance line in the early hours of today amid high buying pressure.

Theย 500 million XRP unlock transaction wasย accompanied byย a memoย announcingย that President-elect Donald Trump will be in the Whiteย House on January 20th. Trumpโ€™s arrival will โ€œmakeย crypto greatย again,โ€ the author continued. The XRP communityย hasย beenย intriguedย by this message, especially since it suggests thatย the yearย ahead will be brightย forย cryptocurrencyย in theย United States. S. .ย withย Presidentย Donald Trumpย in office.

According to data from Binance, the price of XRP, one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, has increased by over 13% in the last day. It is one of the best-performing cryptocurrencies, outpacing the gains of significant altcoins like Ethereum (ETH).

Market expectations that the SEC will drop its appeal could help push the price back to $3. The token might also lose the $2 support line if short sellers gather momentum amid signs that the SEC will pursue the appeal.

This is a spectacular beginning for the Ripple base token that has dominated the fourth quarter of 2024. CoinGlass data shows that over $7 million worth of XRP shorts were liquidated in a single day. Almost 80% of the wipeout is caused by short positions.
