Right now, we are undergoing a period of market-wide correction, and XRP is caught up in it like all other cryptos. During late December/early January, XRP has a huge rally that was obviously not going to be sustainable long run (we’re talking about an over 10,000% increase in a matter of a few weeks). It was driven by massive coverage of XRP in the mainstream media, and of course many people jumped on the bandwagon, and XRP skyrocketed. Not to mention pretty much all coins have recently skyrocketed, so that’s why we have this overheated market finally correcting itself.
The price of XRP has skyrocketed in recent weeks, reaching an all time high of $3, but is now undergoing a market-wide correction
But the questions are, will the crypto market recover, and if so, who will recover after things are finally done and dusted? In my opinion, I can see the correction lasting for another few weeks or a couple of months more. To address the first question of whether there will be a recovery, I would have to say yes based on history. If we look at the history of Bitcoin, we can see that there have been numerous bad crashes, much worse than what we’re witnessing right now. But the market always bounced back. So in my opinion, XRP will recover, and recover strongly.
Bitcoin has crashed numerous times since 2010, with corrections lasting for prolonged periods of months, followed by strong recoveries.
Why do I think XRP will recover? Because if a coin like Bitcoin, which is slow, has high transaction fees, isn’t scalable, and in my opinion is not very useful for the real-wrold, then XRP will easily recover. I believe from 2018 onwards, that the price of coins will be largely driven by utility. Only coins with real world use will survive. XRP has real-world use, and is already being used in diverse sectors of the economy:
