XRP price prediction for 2021

According to Coinpedia, XRP’s price jumped from $0.2 to more than $0.5 in February and a huge spike rallied the price close to $1 in April. Eventually, it reached yearly highs at $1.9 but when the market crashed on May 19, the XRP flipped to $1.06 from $1.59.

Its price touched a new height in 2021 despite the legal battle against the SEC and Ripple’s CEO.

By the end of this year, XRP as a fast and less costly cryptocurrency can easily grab many investors and a bullish market can take its price to the $1.443 mark.

But the pre-mined XRP supply can flip the price down and if this happens bearish trend can make the price decline for a short term which will take it to the mark near to $0.561 but it can also recover within a small time frame.
