Here Is Why XRP, Shiba Inu, and Dogecoin Are Worth Watching
Network activity is a great indicator to understand the direction of price trends. Lower lows point to bear trends while higher highs are indicative of uptrends. XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu are showing positivity in network interactions.
XRP (XRP)
XRP hit the network’s highest daily amount of unique addresses interacting with the network in nearly two and half years. XRP crossed above 200,000 for daily active addresses for the first time since February 2020.
Onchain analytics firm, Santiment wrote: ”XRP is holding up better than most altcoins on a Thursday #crypto slide day. A couple of days ago, the XRPNetwork exploded with unique addresses interacting on the network, exceeding 200k for the first time since February 2020. This is worth watching”.
Sopnendu Mohanty, the chief fintech officer of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) recently mentioned Ripple in a LinkedIn post.
