The ADA moved the XRP to number 5 in the cryptocurrency capitalization rankings.

Will we see further growth, or will everything stagnate at this point. Perhaps we should expect the return of the dark horse XRP?

If you want to expect for XRP to go back to the top spot, it's okay to hope for that. Well, those coins next to Ethereum are in tough competition.
It doesn't matter to me if it goes back or not but as long as you keep your coins with any of those and it's gaining traction. That's the important part of being an investor and a holder.

depends on coinmarketcap now xrp is number 6, so the competitions is between Cardano and polkadot because the marketcap from both altcoins is very close when i write this post, check this image below
by the way, i think xrp will not become a black horse again buddy

It will but be ready to wait for long. Right now, there are still lots of things that need to address.

Rankings aren't my basis for XRP not to return action. Whatever it is, by the way, I have ADA and XRP on my portfolio. As far as you understand the risks, then just stick with what you believe but always get up to date for some information so we know what's the appropriate action we can do.

Glad to see that happen. I have been thinking if another smartcontract platform like chainlink will be also surpassing XRP. XRP will come to its end. I don't even think ripple can't be considered as a dark horse anymore.
People are still betting on the decision that will be taking by the court and this is the true story. When XRP gets a good news from the court and it may make XRP to go to the moon as soon as possible but remember this if SEC will not make it easy to happen.
That's pretty interesting to see how the next drama will be going on between ripple and SEC on the court.
The growth of XRP totally depend on the news about its case against SEC.

soon we'll see Cardano hit $1. it's a good upgrade for ADA, their increments are slow, but very smooth. and maybe they will shift Polakdot and go up to rank 4. and for ripple maybe XRP will be replaced by other coins. BNB and Litecoin seem to have started a movement. if this situation persists maybe ripple will shift to rank 8 or 9.

[LittleJadiel]

Isn't it nice to see news coins in the top 5 ranking? It's refreshing to look at and is obviously deserving for that position. This actually ain't surprising anymore because we've also seen a significant increase in DeFi usage, as total value locked (TVL) grew from less than $1 billion in early 2020 to the current value of almost $34 billion.

But have we really arrived in the altseason? after all these pumps.

Investors who have been around since 2017 probably remember the following cycle. First, there’s BTC growth, followed by ETH growth, followed by altcoin growth. It is a pattern we seem to be going through again. Bitcoin reached all time high prices. Then, Ether followed not long after as it exploded past $1600, and now select altcoins see the hype reflected in their cryptocurrency prices - and it makes sense! as new users and institutions are most likely to get Bitcoin and Ethereum exposure before learning about altcoins. This has led to price increases across some of the popular cryptocurrencies in the market with high potential upsides.

Expect positive news with Ripple when their case is finished and they got the win but aside from that, it will be a pump and dump coin for the traders.

ADA on the other hand is already doing everything right now and with the Goguen Mainnet coming this March, it might be the catalyst for the price of ADA to go as high as $1 in the next months . Good for those ADA holders since they can get capital appreciation as well as the profits that they can get thru staking.

Cardano has moved up by almost 2,500% during the last 12 months. I don't think that any of the coins in the top-20 list has given that sort of returns. I always had a feeling that ADA was underpriced. When the altcoin bubble burst in 2018, Cardano exchange rates went down by 99% (perhaps the most for any of the established altcoins). I wanted to purchase ADA at that point, but storage was difficult. Back then they didn't had a lite wallet, and anyone who want to store ADA had to use the Daedalus wallet, which would take a huge amount of hard drive space.

Despite the price fluctuations, the basics are really strong for Cardano. The code is written using Haskell language and the algorithm is very advanced when compared to the other cryptocurrencies. Among the third-generation cryptocurrencies, Cardano is having the best technology without any doubt. Right now it is at 4th position according to Coinmarketcap, and I have to say that in the long term it poses a strong challenge to ETH.

Still XRP manages to bring some green candles? I don't expect it to be highly bullish even though all other cryptos are soaring high due to the SEC restrictions made on XRP so people think it is uncertain investments for the long term that is why they simply play with it in the short term swings.

XRP can come back to the game anytime and that only needs single news from the court if ripple was not an illegal security token offering and then it will make the price of ripple will increase probably 200% from now.
People are still betting on the future of XRP especially the ripple holders. They are still believing in it and they were still actively trading ripple at this time.
A piece of good news is enough to make it goes to the moon but i doubt if that will happen.

It all depends on the update of the case, there is a possibility that Ripple will be out of the top 15 coins in the market, and go down to 10 cents, so far it's performing great in the market, but for how long one bad news and Ripple will stumble, they have shown resiliency, you can gamble on Ripple, and if they succeeded in their case, they will reach a new high and break their old-time records.

I knew it was just a matter of time before we see XRP slacking behind, the law suit against them and everything has caused them to start falling, and a lot of investors are now moving their money to different coins.

I do not know for how long they are going to continue with this problem they are having, and the last time I read they said they are not going to follow the easy way by settling the SEC, rather they will prefer that they battle it out in court and it is taking a long time, the more it continues the more they are being affected by it just like it’s affecting them now. But if XRP can win this big battle, one thing for sure is that it will blow up, cause it’s going to be a big news.

A piece of good news is enough to make it goes to the moon but i doubt if that will happen.

The scary part is, it requires just one news to go down even more as well and that should scare every investor. Anyone who holds XRP takes a risk right now, if the news about the case comes out and say that there is nothing wrong and carry on like old days, the price will skyrocket, I can see over 1 dollars in this market, everyone else increased like hell while xrp got stuck because of this problem so I think 1+ dollar is possible, even 2+ dollar is possible if market continues like this.

But the big scary thing is, if the ripple company is found guilty, if the owners are jailed like how they did to bitmex owners, and if the company is bankrupted and closed, that means xrp will have zero centralization (which is great if you ask me) that will cause people to panic and we may see under 10 cents very seriously, like go down lower and stay there for a very long time.

No risk no reward. At the end the tech developed is useful.

Imagine if we hear that Ripple and SEC came into an agreement. What then?

it will be too late to buy as we know how fast XRP goes up

[bittick]

It's quite difficult to say whether we will see the further growth that will be happening on XRP or not. It's caused by people are betting on it. I do believe if ripple will be stagnant until the press release from the media about the final result from the judgement.

Ripple is not on the 5th position and it's not considerable as the dark horse again. The hew projects have been taking it like DOT or ADA.

[kawetsriyanto]

depends on coinmarketcap now xrp is number 6, so the competitions is between Cardano and polkadot because the marketcap from both altcoins is very close

Sure. Now, number 4-6 will be very competitive, especially if XRP can come back stronger again in the near future. As the high demands of Cardano and Polkadot on the market, while XRP is dropping, so the position of XRP is downgraded. I think it is not a problem, competitiveness is a good sign that demands on crypto coins spread well.

by the way, i think xrp will not become a black horse again buddy

Why not? You must know if anything can happen in the crypto industry.
Noted that it is not the end of XRP. There is always a chance for XRP to come back stronger. Moreover, if the team can solve the case well.

They are betting on it, or shall we say playing games investing on XRP because we don't know how long and what are the results of the lawsuit. That's why we have seen the price going on a wild ride.

It's been in the market for at least 3 years so I wouldn't call it a dark horse, been consistent in the top 5-10 coins. The problem is that they are facing a big case against the US SEC. And we can't take any from DOT and ADA, very promising projects and the people behind has some reputation as well. They have made it to the top because of their hard work not because XRP falling down.
