<p>XRP’s meteoric rise in South Korea was further exemplified as it claimed the throne as the most traded cryptocurrency on Bithumb. This significant achievement marks a turning point in the cryptocurrency landscape, signifying the South Korean traders’ deep affinity for XRP and waning interest in Bitcoin.</p> 
<p>In the lead-up to the transfer, XRP experienced a remarkable surge of over 10%, with its price soaring to $0.549. This price hike was attributed to the heightened anticipation surrounding the Ripple Proper Party held in New York City.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse surprised everyone by addressing speculations of significant announcements at the event. In a <a href="https://x.com/bgarlinghouse/status/1707877347733483594?s=20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">post on X</a> (formerly Twitter), he expressed his anticipation for the Proper Party and excitement about bringing people together to celebrate their collective achievements. He also emphasized the importance of court decisions to the SEC and the value of continuing to fight for progress.</p> 
<p>The crypto community’s optimism remained intact despite Garlinghouse’s reassurance that there would be no groundbreaking revelations. Yet, as the event unfolded, slight profit-taking ensued, with XRP opening the following day at $0.521.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>At the time of writing, XRP maintained a 1.53% increase in the previous 24 hours, trading at $0.517. Notably, the 24-hour trading volume for XRP surged by an impressive 118%, amounting to $1.65 billion worth of XRP traded within this time frame.</p>
