It almost seems like a repeat now when it comes down to XRPās price performances in the past month and since Sunday, in particular, but thereās a lot going on around the asset.
Recall that just yesterday, Rippleās native token traded at around $1.9. However, it exploded first to over $2.2, as reported, before it shot up to $2.5 for the first time since January 2018.
During the market-wide retracement from earlier on Monday, it slipped back down to $2.2, but the bulls stepped up on the gas pedal once again and initiated another massive rally.
This time, XRPās price skyrocketed to $2.75, which became a new local peak. Moreover, the cryptocurrency came just 23% away from its all-time high of $3.4 (CoinGecko data).

Despite retracing slightly to under $2.7 now, XRP is still up by over 420% in the past month. This surge has pushed its market cap to well beyond $150 billion, solidifying its place as the third-largest cryptocurrency by this metric.
Many reports claimed that this rally was driven primarily by whales accumulating substantial portions of the asset. CryptoQuantās CEO, Ki Young Ju, confirmed this narrative but also shed some more light, noting that most of the buying took place on Coinbase.
This makes sense due to the expected political change in the United States following Donald Trumpās victory in the presidential elections and Gary Genslerās announcement that he will step down as SEC Chair in January.
