XRP drops below $1.40; Ripple CTO sees potential to surpass Bitcoin's market value.

XRP fell 3.24% to around $1.35, slipping below the key $1.40 support level amid market uncertainty ahead of US inflation data. Analyst Ali Martinez suggests XRP could reach $60 if it closes a monthly candle above $3.66, a significant rise from current prices. Ripple CTO David Schwartz said XRP might one day surpass Bitcoin’s market value through faster growth, not Bitcoin's decline. Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger is progressing on its Lending Protocol upgrade, currently at 31.43% validator support but needing 80% to activate, signaling ongoing development in XRP’s decentralized finance capabilities.
