Remittance token XRP pumped more than 45% in the past week to a 7-year high as crypto whales piled in following wild speculation yesterday that Donald Trump might add the Ripple token, Solana, and USDC to his proposed strategic crypto reserve. XRP broke above the $3 mark earlier this week for the first time since 2018. It continued to rise in the last 24 hours, posting a more than 6% gain to trade at $3.33 as of 2:14 a.m. EST. The crypto has also become the third largest digital asset in terms of market cap after overtaking stablecoin Tether (USDT) with a valuation of around $137.36 billion.

The move could make Litecoin the next cryptocurrency to get the green light in the U.S for a crypto ETF, after Bitcoin and Ethereum. The filing by Canary Capital is also seen as evidence that the SEC is considering the approval of Litecoin ETFs. We had heard chatter that the Litecoin S-1 had gotten comments back from SEC. This looks to confirm that which bodes well for our prediction that Litecoin is most likely to be the next coin approved. All that said, new SEC chair has yet to start and that's a huge variable. https://t.co/cKFswPwcr0 — Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) January 15, 2025 Litecoin Price Trend On A Breakout The LTC price chart Analysis on the daily timeframe exhibits a mixed trend, with recent ...

Subsequent trading has been less certain and marked by substantial volatility, with weekly swings running as large as 25% of the token’s value, with prices fluctuating between $2.30, dipping below $2, and rising back above $2.40.

Indeed, the token surged from approximately $147.5 billion to about $163.5 within just one day.
