Santiment data vendor has tweeted that as XRP has shown an 18 percent rise earlier today, it has been decoupling from Bitcoin and the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

The analytics team tweeted that a further rise in the daily interaction of unique addresses along with the emergence of new wallets on a daily basis is likely to push the price rally of the sixth-largest cryptocurrency a lot higher.

On Aug. 11, XRP managed to surge as high as the $1.09 level from $0.80 briefly (showing an almost 24 percent spike), and then it rolled back. At press time, the Ripple-affiliated cryptocurrency is changing hands at $1.01415.

Earlier, U.Today reported that Ripple had partnered with major payments provider in South Korea, GME Remittance, via its partner, SBI Ripple Asia. The goal is to improve the system of payments from South Korea to Thailand.
