The prices of Bitcoin [BTC] spiked and crossed the $6,000-mark on Bitfinex on May 3. The rise of BTC contributed to most altcoins, including XRP, the third largest coin in the world, surging. According to CoinMarketCap, XRP spiked by 2.29% over the past 24 hours and started correcting itself as it noted a dip of 0.07% within the hour. At press time, the coin was valued at $0.3106, with a market cap of $13.04 billion.

Even though the price of the coin was far from $0.50, it was valued at $0.54 on the crypto-exchange, BitBay. Yes, cryptocurrencies do have some difference in valuation on exchanges. However, this difference between the prices of XRP was exponential. Twitter user, @XRP_Harvester, pointed out the value of XRP on the exchange.

“Let’s go to BitBay before it hits $10K this year.”

However, the performance of the coin has not been impressive since 2019 as its year-to-date returns lie in the negative zone, while all other major cryptos have soared.
