It’s high time for XRP and XLM to catch up to not only Bitcoin but also some notable altcoin counterparts such as Ether and Cardano.
One of the fundamental reasons for XRP to lag behind the other majors is the monthly supply coming on the markets by the headquarters. On the first of every month, 1 billion XRP is unlocked and transferred to exchanges.
What does that mean? It means that every month 1 billion XRP is being sold on the exchange, which is causing a significant amount of selling pressure. As the current price of XRP is $0.21, the total value of this supply is $210 million every month.
The real problem of XRP lies in the fact that its BTC pair is doing exceptionally poorly. It’s currently at the lowest point since December 2017, which is more than 30 months!
