Top Cryptocurrency News: XRP Gains, SHIB Burns, and Bitcoin Predictions

XRP Price Surge on Christmas Eve

However, as the year-end approaches, conventional financial practices might also impact the crypto landscape, especially with major institutions like BlackRock and Fidelity involved. Currently, XRP is trading slightly lower at $2.29.
