Ripple price prediction 2019

Since the beginning of March, Ripple has been experiencing an array of price fluctuations. Although it was one of the worst months for the Ripple’s XRP performance, the cryptocurrency found some strength.

Experts believe in Ripple’s capacity to get back on track and move in a positive direction. Due to the recent upgrades to the XRP system, Ripple is optimistic about the XRP price.

Ripple currency news

Ripple continues to attract top new clients, including some very big names in the world of banking and finance like Santander, American Express, RBC and, most recently, J. P. Morgan. Today, Ripple is trading at $0.30 and has a market capitalisation of $13,922,138,189, with a circulating supply of 42,566,596,173 XRP

Ripple (XRP) has shown an unprecedented price increase in the last year. The solution attracts more and more payment providers, attracted by the consensus mechanism. Ripple’s protocol increases the overall integrity and validation of transactions and account balances by automatically blocking malicious entries.

The company offers several products, including xCurrent, xRapid and xVia, which contribute to Ripple's leading position in the blockchain network. The announcement that Ripple will partner with MoneyGram, a major Western Union competitor, has also buoyed the XRP price.

XRP price analysis: Ripple benefits and emerging controversies

Ripple is one of the major competitors at the top of the cryptocurrency market.

What makes Ripple unique is that all XRP coins were released all at once. It means that all XRP coins are already in circulation and don’t require further mining. Besides, Ripple has lower costs and higher transaction speeds than other cryptocurrencies like Ethereum or Bitcoin.

Ripple’s major benefits include:

Fast and cheap transactions. While cross-border payments may take days or even weeks, costing thousands in annual fees, XRP-based payments may cut these costs by almost 60%. A remarkably high transaction speed is a primary advantage of Ripple’s cryptocurrency. An average XRP transaction takes only 3 seconds.

Unique enterprise services.

Ripple provides its clients with innovative enterprise services on a regular basis. They include:

  • xCurrent – a banking solution, which integrates XRP with global payments processing.
  • xRapid – a solution for financial institutions and payment providers who want to cut their liquidity costs and improve customer experience.
  • xVia – a solution that allows companies to send XRP payments across the Ripple network.

Ripple is regulated

Unlike many other cryptocurrencies, Ripple is regulated. This major difference worked out well for Ripple, as it has enabled the company to partner with traditional financial institutions, as they require more sophisticated regulatory compliance. Ripple and its fiat partners aim to achieve real-time financial transactions at a bargain price.

Despite all its benefits and popularity among the world’s top financial institutions, Ripple was recently forced to respond to numerous accusations of insider trading and pump and dump schemes. Though these allegations have already faded away, Ripple’s reputation was jeopardised.

XRP price forecast

Predicting the price of cryptocurrencies is always a thankless task. The crypto market is so volatile that even the best analytical forecasts regarding further market movement are often in vain. However, let’s see what the experts think about it.

The second largest crypto news site – Ripple Coin News – forecasts that after a thorny period, Ripple will experience a smoother ride, with the XRP price moving forward as the number of new partnerships and technologies grow. They predict the price of Ripple’s XRP to fluctuate between $8-10.

Oracle Times has recently said that they believe the XRP price may thrive by as much as 2,000%. They think it might be possible under the condition that Ripple will become the best choice for cross-border payments by financial institutions.

Another crypto prediction website – Investing Haven – also shares a bullish view on Ripple performance. Believing that Ripple has the strongest potential among other cryptocurrencies, Investing Haven suggests that XRP is going to have a flawless year and end 2019 at the price of $20.
