XRP surged past the $2.20 level, marking its strongest rally of April, pushing market cap close to its record high of $130.5 billion as traders eye further upside.
Short sellers faced $8 million in liquidations, with Binance and Bybit seeing the biggest losses as leveraged bets against XRP were wiped out by the sudden price increase.
Whether XRP’s $2.20 support holds or fades remains uncertain, but current momentum has traders speculating whether the breakout could push the altcoin beyond its yearly highs.
XRP’s market capitalization is now at $129 billion, “only” around $1 billion short of its record high market cap of $130.5 billion.
