$XRP 💥 price rockets 18%, staging wildest recovery among major tokens
The move came as bitcoin briefly rose over $70,000 in U.S. morning hours, reversing Thursday's sharp declines ahead of the weekend.
#xrp rebounded about 18% to trade near $1.49 on Friday after a sharp sell-off a day earlier that had driven the token down to roughly $1.14.
The snapback rally comes as Ripple promotes an institutional DeFi vision for the XRP Ledger, but the token’s volatility underscores how fragile and thinly liquid the broader crypto market remains.
