Breaking: XRP Hits $3, Highest Price in Seven Years
XRP, the third-largest digital asset by market capitalization, has hit the $3 price tag for the first time since 2018 when it hit its all-time high of $3.84. The cryptocurrency has soared a monumental 14.45% in the past 24 hours and trades at $2.94 at the time of writing after reaching a daily high of $3.02, claiming a valuation of $168 billion.
According to data provided by CoinMarketCap, XRP’s trading volume rose a massive 154.53% in the past 24 hours to $19.11 billion.

As reported earlier today, the transactions on the XRP Ledger also shot up, with the blockchain network recording around 341 transactions with over $1 million in value. Considering the recent price surge, analysts expect
