XRP’s social dominance has been making waves, experiencing a remarkable surge in recent days. According to data from crypto social intelligence platform Lunar Crush, the metric has nearly doubled in just 24 hours, rising from 3.85% to 5.85%. This spike in social dominance indicates that XRP is gaining significant attention within the cryptocurrency community, with more market participants engaging in discussions about the asset.

XRP's social dominance is on the rise, hitting 5.65% in the most recent hour. This growth aligns with a significant 320.13% increase in price over the last three months. With a market cap of $128.53 billion, XRP is gaining traction not only⌠pic.twitter.com/mnAlhYOfma
While increased social media activity can sometimes signal a contrarian move in the market, Lunar Crushâs data shows that the sentiment surrounding XRP remains neutral. This neutral stance could be a positive sign for its price, as it suggests that, despite the rise in discussions, market participants are not overly bullish or bearish. This balance may allow XRP to maintain its momentum without the risk of a sudden correction driven by extreme sentiment swings.
The timing of this surge in social dominance is particularly interesting, as it coincides with a notable price movement for XRP. In the past 24 hours, XRPâs price has experienced a significant uptick, fueled by the landmark approval of Rippleâs RLUSD stablecoin by the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS). This approval is a major milestone for Ripple and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), promising to bring enhanced liquidity and a boost to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
The RLUSD stablecoin, designed to work seamlessly within the XRP Ledger, has the potential to drive increased utility and adoption for XRP. Its introduction could also encourage more decentralized applications (dApps) and services to integrate with the XRPL, further enhancing XRP’s value proposition in the rapidly evolving DeFi space. This development is expected to support XRPâs price in the long term, as more use cases for the asset emerge.
As XRPâs social dominance grows and its price rises, many analysts are optimistic about the asset’s future. Bitcoin maximalist and MMCrypto host Christopher Jaszcynski recently expressed confidence that XRP could break above the $3 mark for the first time in seven years. Jaszcynski suggests that if XRP can break through resistance at the $2.60 level, it could trigger a significant rally, paving the way for higher gains.
Pro-XRP analysts are even more bullish, with some predicting that XRP could soar to as high as $20. Analyst “BarriC” expects a massive surge, driven by growing demand and increased use of the XRP Ledger. These forecasts paint a promising future for XRP, especially with the growing momentum around its developments in the stablecoin and DeFi sectors.
However, not all are convinced that the bullish sentiment will last. Prominent trader “IncomeSharks” has advised caution, urging investors to consider taking profits as XRP approaches key resistance levels. IncomeSharks points out that XRP may have formed a lower high on the daily candle chart, signaling a potential slowdown in its upward movement.
$XRP – You can hate me all you want but when retail pumps a coin you can expect them to be just as quick with selling. Even if you are still bullish nothing wrong taking profits when there's euphoria and buying back later. pic.twitter.com/enDyPtsEmN

XRP’s recent rise in social dominance and price is a sign of increasing market interest, driven in part by the approval of the RLUSD stablecoin. As the asset continues to gain attention, both bullish and cautious views abound. While some analysts see significant upside potential, others warn that the price could face resistance in the near term. For now, XRPâs future looks promising, but investors should remain vigilant as the market evolves.
