Why Is XRP Rallying?
Ripple’s XRP token’s latest rally follows on the heels of Bitcoin (BTC) hitting a new all-time high of $93,477.11 on Nov. 13, 2024. The market-wide rally is likely due to Donald Trump winning the 2024 US Presidential election. Market participants expect lenient crypto regulations under Trump’s administration due to hit pro-crypto and pro-business policies.

Another factor that may have helped XRP’s price is the possibility of an interest rate cut later this month. Experts anticipate a 25 basis point interest rate cut in November. Rate cuts usually lead to investors pouring funds into risky assets.

According to an X post by a cryptocurrency analyst, MikybullCrypto, XRP could witness a massive surge, similar to Dogecoin (DOGE). The analyst predicts the asset to hit $2 by the end of this year. Hitting $2 from current price levels will translate to a rally of about 181.69%.
