The Main Reason Behind XRP’s Declining Trading Volume
Rather obvious, the main factor that has caused XRP’s trading volume to stay at the low levels, is market overall behaviour, largely determined by Bitcoin.
During the Q1 of year 2021, XRP reached a high of $0.745 from the low of $0.220 on January 1. An increase of a whopping 161%. It was despite the SEC’s lawsuit filed in December 2020. XRP grew largely because in the meantime Bitcoin had exploded.
On the contrary, the year 2022 saw Bitcoin hit historic lows, as the coin had a worst January ever, and has not recovered since. As a consequence of which XRP could only go as high as $0.911. An increase of mere 2% from the January 1st opening of $0.831.
