$XRP

The American court's ruling in 2023 that **XRP is not a security** in itself eased legal pressures, and the new American administration under Trump showed greater support for cryptocurrencies, including the inclusion of XRP in the **U.S. strategic reserve for digital currencies**.

- **Technical developments**: The launch of new features such as **smart contracts (Hooks)** and **automated market makers (AMM)** on the XRPL network may attract more developers and projects.

- Competition: XRP faces intense competition from other blockchain chains like **Solana** and **Cardano**, which offer similar solutions with higher speeds and lower costs.

- **Volatility**: XRP experiences sharp volatility; for example, it rose by **480%** in one month (2024) and then experienced subsequent corrections.

- $XRP Market value: To reach a price of **$500** (as some wonder), XRP would need a leap of **100,000%**, requiring a market value of **$26 trillion** – a currently unrealistic figure.
