From a mere 0.76 USD/XRP on December 20 2017, to an all time high of 3.80(current time of published article), Ripple is indeed a powerhouse akin to its more valuable cousin, Bitcoin.
The result of this is the faith of multiple banks and governmental institutions, by putting the bet on its blockchain technology.
Multiple tech companies as profaned by Ripple on its twitter account that, "3 of the top 5 global money transfer companies plan to use XRP in payment flows in 2018." There is demand for the cryptocurrency and by which the notion of trade to occur in the future signals that massive trade volumes will increase within the start of 2018. Korean banks have decided to use Ripple's blockchain technology and transactions will be made soon in between the coming periods.
Volatility is less varied and its variance is less polarised. Due to its institutional backng and regulations, XRP is seen as a long-term assessment of a stable currency, much less of a short that resembles other cryptocurrencies such as LTC, BTC and ETH.
