XRP surpasses other cryptocurrencies on South Korean exchanges by trading volume. A short-term correction on Tuesday led to a slight decrease in almost all major cryptocurrencies over the last 24 hours, except for XRP. At the largest South Korean cryptocurrency exchange Upbit, the trading volume of XRP exceeded $1 billion in the last 24 hours, which surpasses the combined figures of Bitcoin and Ethereum, according to CoinGecko. In addition to Upbit, four other major exchanges Bithumb, Korbit, and Coinone also demonstrate increased trading activity for XRP. The renewed interest in XRP in South Korea coincided with an important turning point for the token — the company Ripple proposed to the US Securities and Exchange Commission and exchanges to settle the case by paying a $50 million fine. The agency, in turn, is ready to settle its civil lawsuit against two leaders of the Ripple organization, Chris Larsen and general director Brad Garlinghouse. The head of digital asset research at the British bank Standard Chartered, Jeffrey Kendrick, predicts that this year the price of XRP could double to $5.50. He also expects that by 2026 XRP will rise to $8.00 and in 2027 it will exceed the level of $10. By 2029, the analyst sees growth to $12.25, which would mean an increase of 82%.
