![]() Although most mainstream currencies are still lingering in the slumping bear market, Ripple, which has been working quietly, stands out in the cryptocurrency market and has become one of the cryptocurrencies that performed well this month. However, in the first half of the year, which saw a recovery after a huge plunge, many cryptocurrencies have rebounded from their lowest prices last year, and Ripple has been experiencing continuous declines. Bitcoin, which has attracted much attention, has risen from around US$5,000 in early April this year to US$14,000 in a few months, and Bitcoin Cash has also risen from less than US$100 at the end of 2018 to around US$400. Beyond BitcoinThe unforeseen black swan event on September 25 swept the entire cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin fell from about $9,500 at the time to just over $8,100, losing about $1,400 in just a few minutes, and altcoins were "bloody". Many currency friends who experienced the BSV fork incident last year still feel sad when mentioning this incident. Bitcoin fell from around US$6,000 to around US$3,000 and stayed there for about five months. The impact of that incident on the currency circle has not yet fully recovered. Nicholas Pelecanos, advisor at NEM Ventures, commented:

Although the amount is not large, the increase this month has exceeded 30%, and it seems to have gone out of its own independent market.

For now, Ripple executives still own more than 60% of the shares, which runs counter to the concept of decentralization of cryptocurrency, and Ripple has also been questioned by the outside world. Ripple once issued a statement regarding the outside world’s speculation:
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said in a recent interview:
the reason why all this happenedNicholas Pelecanos analyzed that there are many reasons for the sudden drop in the price of cryptocurrencies. On the one hand, the relationship between China and the United States has begun to mend, and many fewer people choose to store value in cryptocurrency. On the other hand, Libra, which had high hopes, got off to a bad start, and Bitcoin and its "little brothers" were unable to follow the rising tide. ![]() ![]() |
