$XRP

The US court ruling in 2023 that **XRP is not a security** in itself eased legal pressures, and the new US administration under Trump has shown greater support for cryptocurrencies, including the inclusion of XRP in the **US strategic reserve of 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 stiff competition from other blockchain chains such as **Solana** and **Cardano**, which offer similar solutions at higher speeds and lower costs.

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