XRP Continues to Decline While Ripple’s Worth Stands at $10B
Due to the new $200M investment round, Ripple is now valued at $10B. Although, the price of the token keeps decreasing and persists among the worst performer of 2019. Ripple has had several good news this year, the same cannot be said of its native token. Ripple is now among the most valuable private enterprise in all of Silicon Valley. The new valuation caused CNBC anchor Brian Sullivan to do a double-take, he stated: “That can’t be billion. It’s got to be million! What is this?”
XRP (XRP) Price Today – XRP / USD
| Name | Price | 24H % |
|---|---|---|
 | $0.00 | -0.80% |
Several other analysts have been baffled as to how the $10B valuation came to be. One user claims that the Ripple team can justify its valuation by simply having a huge war chest via mass-selling of XRP on the market. Monthly, the team unlocks 1 billion XRP. That is hundreds of millions of dollars in XRP released monthly. It is still ambiguous where this XRP goes to, other than explanations of “on-demand liquidity (ODL).”
Ripple XRP – Worst Performer of 2019
Ripple’s native token XRP, has been declining steadily and is currently at -95% from its all-time high. The coin is currently trading at $0.191, the asset has been among the worst performers of 2019 in the crypto sphere. At the beginning of the year, the coin was trading at $0.359, currently, it is trading on the market for $0.191 and will be ending the year with enormous losses.
