The role of XRP in global finance
The video featured Musk asking whether he thought XRP could play a big role in the global financial system, given the SEC’s focus on regulating the cryptocurrency. His answer was simple, but it worked.
Coins like XRP challenge central control and support personal freedom, but this is not a call to action, he said. Although they did not express explicit support, such statements by Musk gave hope to cryptocurrency investors due to his influence in the market.

A technology study by cryptocurrency analyst Steve fits into this growing hype. Since 2018, notice a symmetrical triangle pattern developing on the XRP/USD chart which indicates a notable breakout possibly in the near future.
Musk’s influence on social media
Currently, at the top of this triangle, XRP is reversing the situation in 2017 that led to its incredible rise and all-time high of $3.31. Investors are watching with bated breath as Musk’s comments appear to coincide with this pivotal technical turning point.
Regulatory hurdles have long been a factor in suppressing XRP prices, Steve points out, especially in light of Ripple’s survival. Legal battle With the SEC. However, he believes the coin could be ready for a major breakout – just as it did in 2021 when it outperformed Bitcoin by 460%.
Even if Musk doesn’t explicitly support the token, his mention of it could boost market sentiment because some speculators believe the altcoin is currently less expensive than Bitcoin.
Optimistic about the future of XRP
Basically, Steve was positive about the future of altcoins, but stressed that what is exciting is the evolving relationships that Ripple has with large financial institutions. The implication of this is that when demand for central bank digital currencies increases, XRP will be more important within the global financial system.

Furthermore, institutional interest in the asset is also depicted by the recent filing of XRP ETFs From Canary Capital and Bitwise. These events, with Musk’s words, have once again revived hopes about XRP’s long-term potential.
However, Steve is cautious even with good technical and fundamental signals. While he believes XRP will likely reach $40, he said a more realistic target range for it would be $5 to $10. Considering the highly volatile and uncertain market, he advised investors to use their judgment properly.
Steve stressed the need for strategic and cautious investment in light of the unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency markets, even though a new all-time high could be on the horizon by the end of 2024.
