There have been a lot of positive news on Ripple recently which seems to be reflecting in the price action
Some of them are:
Ripple’s head of administration in the middle east and the Asia Pacific Sagar Sarbhai also made a comment recently on CNBC on launching a new product.
He said:
“I am very confident that in the next one month or so you will see some good news coming in where we launch the product live in production.”
The price of Ethereum has taken quite a hit recently reaching even below $190 which is far lower than its price last year, there are many reasons for this one of which is ICO’s selling their Eth holdings.
The harsh bear market has had a negative effect on many ICO’s as they raise money in ETH and when the price of ETH falls so does their raised money. Although this does not seem to affect the BUIDLers who are working on Ethereum’s scalability and are building meaningful applications on top of it.
Ripple also took quite a hit losing over 80% of its value since the last high, but it seems like it has run of sellers causing the spectacular surge in the past 2 days.
