XRP entered the bullish zone after breaking out of the $0.337 level on the chart. XRP is currently trading at $0.3362 after falling 0.25% in 24 hours. Needless to say, this lends credence to an important question: Can XRP sustain its gains?

Consistently one of the largest cryptocurrencies by market cap, the last two years have not been good for XRP. While the altcoin has seen a few spikes, the same has fallen further following the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple Labs and its executives. In fact, since the same time, the crypto has failed to break through the $1 barrier. However, the altcoin continues to record some important information to support XRP investors.
First of all, XRP’s market cap dominance has seen a significant increase in just over a month lately. According to Messari’s Insights, XRP’s dominance has increased from 1.2% in August 2022 to 1.7% at the time of writing.

Now, there are many catalysts behind any crypto price action. When it comes to XRP, the biggest is clearly the ongoing SEC and Ripple lawsuit. It is a case in which XRP investors may feel the end of a game as covered by a previous report.
In addition, XRP Ledger has also been in the headlines for a while. As you follow on Kriptokoin.com, developer David Schwartz, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of Ripple Labs, recently highlighted the advantages of XRP Ledger over its major competitors.
