XRP volume skyrockets in South Korea

-

XRP is the new fav in South Korea, where trading volumes have literally exploded, leaving Bitcoin and Ethereum in the dust.

XRP has surpassed $1 billion in 24-hour trading volume on the country’s top exchanges

XRP takes the lead

XRP has become the go-to choice for South Korean traders, as on Upbit, XRP trading hit $716.79 million, making up 13.67% of the platform’s total volume of $5.23 billion.

For comparison, Bitcoin trailed with $400.43 million, while Ethereum barely made a dent with just 2.51%.

Over at Bithumb, XRP also shone brightly with $241.4 million in trading volume, accounting for 17.73% of the exchange’s total.

What is going on? Even Korbit showed some love for XRP, with $7.7 million traded compared to Bitcoin’s $6.76 million.

So why this sudden interest in XRP? Well, it seems a mix of market dynamics and external factors are at play, and South Korean traders are known for their ability to drive price movements, and they’ve recently turned their attention back to XRP.

This jump coincides with heightened political tensions in South Korea. An arrest warrant was issued for President Yoon Suk Yeol over his controversial martial law decisions, creating an environment ripe for speculation.

Make or break

The rising trading volume now is more than just numbers, as it often signals potential price volatility ahead.

High trading volumes can lead to bigger price movements as traders react to market conditions.

As we kick off 2025, XRP is trading around $2.25 and showing signs of stability within a defined range.

Analysts are keeping a close eye on key resistance levels, because if XRP can break through its current barriers, we might see it rally even higher.
