XRP price has demonstrated a significant uptick that comes with engaging social media tweets
Ripple is an official partner of the World Economic Forum as announced on their website which also adds another layer of credibility and trustworthiness to XRP. The WEF is a Switzerland-based international NGO established on January 24, 1971, and founded by Klaus Schwab, a German economist, and engineer.
In their partnership with Ripple, the WEF has announced, “Ripple is developing and enabling the future use cases that will catalyze the new digital economy for governments, businesses, and consumers.” During summer, Ripple has also shown immense social media popularity and an uptick in comments and engagements.
On several occasions, upticks in terms of social media interest brought about profitable opportunities for both stocks and crypto alike. However, despite Ripple’s intense popularity, XRP was not able to benefit from the overwhelming social media hype.
On August 19, the crypto had a 10% liquidation following a drop from the descending parallel channel. The bearish cross that moves over both the 8-day and 21-day simple moving averaging darting close to the $0.37 level acted as the catalyst to induce the selling frenzy.
