XRP has one of the best looking charts in crypto, here's why

As reported by Santiment in a recent article, XRP is one of the better-looking NVT charts on the entire crypto market, given the increase in network circulation in May and a subsequent correction in June. As the NVT suggests, XRP is currently bullish, as its price dropped to multi-week lows at $0.33, making XRP’s market capitalization significantly lower despite remaining transactional activity.

At the moment of publication, XRP is trading at $0.34, up 0.8% over the past 24 hours.
