XRP is fighting for balance amid the sudden shift in the broader crypto ecosystem that has seen the combined market cap slump by 0.53% to $2.53 trillion. Per CoinMarketCap’s data, XRP is changing hands for $0.5208, down marginally by 0.6% in 24 hours.
XRP volume crunch

This dampened sentiment presents two contrasting scenarios for the future price of the digital currency.
