We all know that Bitcoin has had a stellar year with a high close to US$20,000. But quite a few people are taking note of Ripple.
Its current price as at the end of 2017 is $2.26. Its price at the beginning of 2017 was $0.006. This means that Ripple has increased by a MASSIVE 35,000%!
So is 2018 going to be the year when the Ripple turns into a tidal wave? No one can predict for sure but Ripple is now the second most valuable cryptocurrency behind Bitcoin, with a total market value that touched the US$100 billion mark before falling back a bit.
Ripple has definitely built momentum so it is certainly very possible that Ripple will continue its upward swing.
