Ripple’s XRP cryptocurrency is trading higher as the market registers notable gains in the past 24 hours.
The XRP price rose to above $2.36 on Monday, with the uptick coming alongside gains for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
BTC hovered near $110k, up 2% in 24 hours.
Likewise, Ripple’s token edged higher, with CoinMarketCap data showing that the fourth-ranked cryptocurrency was up 2.4% in the past 24 hours.
While modest, the price jump has still seen XRP extend gains above the crucial $2 mark.
This latest flip is accompanied by a spike in both daily volume and open interest, suggesting confidence in the token’s outlook.
Crypto Why is the XRP price up today?
As highlighted above, XRP price is up amid gains for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market.
While the upward flip for the Ripple token is thus in line with this upturn, action in the past 24 hours and recent days has a lot to do with XRP-related news.
Combining these with broader market dynamics has bulls eyeing a potential breakout to its all-time high above $3.84.
Notably, XRP rose to above $3.02 in January 2025 amid legal victories and the euphoria around President Donald Trump’s election.

According to Coinglass, open interest in XRP is up 2.7% to above $4.7 billion.
Daily volume reached over $2 billion, while Coinglass data showed derivatives volume was +17% to $3 billion as bulls take advantage of the upside.
