I'm not an XRP guy, but recently I have developed a little interest in this crypto, mainly because of the drama surrounding it. Today I read an article online talking about how the Koreans are really taking interest in this coin and maybe there is "a method to their madness". XRP dipped below its key price level, yet the sentiment around it was bullish.
Is their confidence justified?

ETH To XRP
The most interesting thing about this dramatic purchase is that they aren't necessarily bringing new money into the crypto world, they are moving their funds from Ethereum to XRP. Well, the obvious reason could be the gas fees of the Ethereum network which, TBH, is quite a frustration. This makes XRP's speed and cost efficiency an attraction and sort of an advantage to these investors. If you're an active trader or move large amounts of money from time to time, those fees add up, and therefore in the long run, it may not look attractive to stay. It's obviously rational for them to move their funds to a network which promises them less cost and speed. I learned from this article that it's not just the retail investors, but whales are also making this decision. It's recorded that 180 Million XRP moved in, in just 15,000 transactions, which is the highest level of activity since January.
The little I know about crypto is that market momentum doesn't just build on hype but it's fueled by confidence, liquidity and real interest, and looking at what's happening now, it's a real indication that something big is about to happen for XRP (not financial advice of course). Some analysts are already super excited and have started throwing out bullish predictions. According to the article I read, some are predicting this coin could go between 8 to 25 dollars during the next bull run, which we all predict is this year. Now, I'm not one to throw out price predictions, but based on what's happening you would agree with me that their prediction may be well founded and reasonable.
XRP has a real world utility and not just another speculative coin. In fact, at the time of writing this, some banks and financial institutions use and accept this coin. I believe that that kind of demand will not disappear overnight even if some tragic thing were to happen. So logically when you combine its growing institutional adoption and investor interest, it's not very hard to see why these analysts are bullish about its price action.
Wll you be buying XRP, or you have a different opinion on why this might fail? Would love to hear it in the comment section.
