XRP’s social dominance rises
As reported by Santiment, its analytics data has been showing a major rise in the social dominance of XRP as it has emerged on the trending list along with Stellar’s XLM and Status (SNT).
Analysts of this on-chain data platform say that this makes chances of a price surge higher than before. However, they also warn that a quick sell-off is also possible, while these coins are trending.
Over the past 24 hours, XRP has gained a small 2.3 percent.
