XRP has returned to the spotlight after USA Today labeled it the 'smartest cryptocurrency' to invest in right now. The article, originally published on The Motley Fool's website, states that XRP is the ideal choice for investors looking to invest $500 in the cryptocurrency market, due to its long-term use in cross-border payments.
The comment indicates that the practical applications of XRP give it a strategic advantage over many other digital assets. Its efficiency in international financial transfers, especially on the Ripple platform, is one of the key attractions for potential investors.
However, the article also warns that the large volume of XRP may limit its future gains. According to CoinGecko, the market capitalization of XRP is around $170 billion, meaning its gains will not be as substantial as other currencies. Shareholders are told that the company is making gradual improvements rather than speculating on price increases as it did in its first year.
Moreover, the article does not ignore the fact that stablecoins have been more efficient than XRP in international transactions. However, the article also asserts that RLUSD, a dual-chain stablecoin interacting with the Ripple network, is capable of supporting the long-term growth of the XRP ecosystem.
The majority of RLUSD's supply exists on Ethereum, but its connection to Ripple is viewed as a positive step by the XRP community.
XRP is praised but faces a market downturn and criticism on social media.
Despite the optimistic tone of the article, the price of XRP in the market has sharply declined. CoinGecko data shows the currency dropped to $2.75 earlier today before recovering slightly. This drop came even with major platforms' interest in the article.
A fierce backlash spread on social media, particularly from extreme Bitcoin supporters who claimed that XRP is being promoted as a smarter investment. Reactions focused on claims that the fundamentals of XRP do not support the optimistic expectations outlined in the article.
Although USA Today did not publish the article itself, it was posted on its website and shared via its official social media accounts, including its 'X' account, which has over five million followers. This platform's reach gave the article widespread exposure.
As the debate around XRP's prospects increases, interest in it has also grown. While the article describes it as a wise choice for modest investment, its volatile performance and the varied reactions from the investor community raised many questions among new investors.
XRP may gain attention as a 'smart' investment option, but market volatility and sharp price drops highlight its risks.
