Impact of the Garanti BBVA’s Partnership with Ripple on XRP Market
The strategic partnership that Garanti BBVA inked with Ripple Labs and IBM will have a palpable impact on the XRP market in the near term. More so now that Ripple is fighting the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the recently appealed lawsuit case against the XRP sales.
Notably, Ripple has continued to grow and develop the XRPL network to support diverse web3 projects including real-world assets (RWA) tokenization and multi-chain smart contracts.
Additionally, Ripple is currently rolling out its fiat-backed stablecoins dubbed RLUSD to complement the XRP’s operations in cross-border payments.
Meanwhile, XRP’s market continues to face intense competition from other crypto projects including Stellar Lumens (XLM). Consequently, XRP price has lacked bullish momentum in the recent past, despite the ongoing macro bullish breakout led by Bitcoin.
According to the latest market data, XRP price has dropped more than 10 percent in the last four weeks to trade at about $0.52 on Wednesday, October 23, during the early New York session.
The large-cap altcoin, with a fully diluted valuation of about $52 billion and a daily average traded volume of around $1.2 billion, has significantly benefited from the notable adoption outside the United States.
From a technical standpoint, the XRP price is currently hovering at the apex of a macro triangular pattern, which began in 2018.
