Red-hot XRP is quite a contrast to the rest of the market that is currently in the middle of a minor pullback.
Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency, is sitting just above $37,000 after dipping to at $36,197 at 3:23 p.m. on the Bitstamp exchange.
Ethereum is also trading well off its new all-time high of $1,695 that was reached earlier today.
Even Dogecoin, which benefited from Elon Musk’s Twitter comeback, has now shed a substantial portion of its gains, currently changing hands at $0.44.
