The bearish movements which took place across the market yesterday resulted in Ripple’s XRP breaking down from the descending triangle pattern it had been forming and dropping below two key levels.
Despite this bearish drop, XRP managed to outperform Ethereum and claim the position of the largest altcoin by market cap.
The CTO of Ripple – David Schwartz – noted in a tweet yesterday the relationship between xRapid transactions and exchange between XRP and fiat.
xRapid is the service provided by Ripple which requires the use of XRP and with increasing adoption as of recent; this may be playing a role in the outperformance of XRP.
Every xRapid payment that succeeds involves a sale of fiat for XRP and then a purchase of fiat with XRP on one of the crypto exchanges that partners with us.
