XRP has climbed over 3% in value, distinguishing itself as the only top-10 cryptocurrency to post gains amid a general market decline. This upward movement contrasts with Bitcoin and other major altcoins, which have experienced slight losses. The rise in XRP's price is driven by Ripple-specific catalysts, a shift in trader interest towards underperforming large-cap assets, heightened social sentiment, and a technical rebound from a strong support level.
