Ripple’s native coin, XRP, recently tried, for the second time in two weeks, to cross the $0.644 resistance mark but ended up just above at $0.645. While this has been a focal point, Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, made significant announcements that added more layers to the story.
XRP is currently priced at $0.645. This stands in contrast to its 19% drop in mid-November. Despite optimism tied to Binance’s new trading pairs, XRP hasn’t seen a notable rise.
Binance’s New Offerings
Binance announced plans to introduce trading for ten new crypto pairs. Notable names include Ripple, Cardano, Avalanche, and Solana. These pairs will be linked with USD Coin (USDC) and will be available from December 28. For Ripple, being paired with the second-largest stablecoin, USDC, could enhance its liquidity and draw more investors, potentially raising its price.
Post the mid-November drop, XRP has largely stayed between $0.600 and $0.644. Recent attempts to exceed this resistance have been unsuccessful.

What Lies Ahead for XRP
Technical insights suggest XRP is in a phase of consolidation, waiting for a significant event to guide its direction. The recent inability to surpass the resistance might mean this phase continues for a bit longer.
However, as we approach the New Year and with talks about a possible spot Bitcoin ETF approval, XRP might see changes. There’s a possibility of it crossing the $0.644 mark, even reaching $0.700. But the digital asset’s path will largely be shaped by significant market players and bullish strategies.
