A popular cryptocurrency analyst has recently predicted that the price of $XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, could soon see a significant surge that should start in the near future. His projects show the cryptocurrency could trade at $3.82 by the end of the year, a near 880% rise. Pseudonymous cryptocurrency analyst Dark Defender made his prediction on the microblogging platform Twitter, where they shared that there’s seemingly a current lull in XRP activity, which to him suggests it could be a precursor to an impending breakout.
