Why XRP Just Surged Past $1.50
XRP (XRP +7.56%) is up nearly 8% in the last 24 hours on Monday as of 5:39 p.m. ET, reaching above $1.50. The S&P 500 finished the day up 1%.
A flight to safety?
The move tracks the broader crypto market and Bitcoin, which has spent the past two weeks behaving less like a speculative asset and more like a hedge against global uncertainty. Bitcoin is up more than 13% since the war in Iran began, while stocks across the board have fallen.

Ripple is partnering with Mastercard

Still, XRP is down more than 60% from its $3.65 peak last July. While Ripple the company continues to land real partnerships, the connection between Ripple’s success and XRP token demand remains the weakest link in the investment thesis – banks can and do use Ripple’s payment tech without ever touching XRP. And this disconnect has been on full display in recent months.
