Is It Too Late to Buy XRP? XRP Price Soars 7% as Paul Atkins Emerges as Favorite for SEC Chair, and This Might Be the Next Crypto to Explode

The XRP price surged 7% in the last 24 hours to trade at $1.490 as of 02:25 a.m. EST on trading volume that plunged 17% to $7.5 billion.

This comes as Former U.S Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Commissioner Paul Atkins is reportedly the top contender to chair the agency under President-elect Donald Trump’s administration.

Known for his pro-innovation stance and crypto expertise, Atkins is seen as capable of restoring the SEC to its “gold standard,” according to financial reporter Eleanor Terrett.

Atkins’ potential appointment coincides with speculation that Trump’s administration might transfer cryptocurrency regulatory oversight from the SEC. This shift could mark a significant policy change with far-reaching implications for the crypto industry.

XRP Price Aims For A Breakout

The XRP price has been on an uptrend in November, after experiencing what looks like a parabolic curve. However, the price has encountered some resistance around $1.6, which has allowed XRP to trade within this range, and in a consolidation phase, according to data from GeckoTerminal. 

Despite the rally cooling off, the XRP price now trades well above both the 50-day and 200-day Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), which shows that the bulls could still take charge of the price.

Meanwhile, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 57.89, which is in the neutral zone but leaning toward bullish. RSI has cooled off from overbought levels seen earlier in the rally, suggesting that the market is consolidating rather than experiencing a strong bearish reversal.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) blue line is crossing above the orange signal line, which is a sign of a bullish crossover.

If the bulls push the price of XRP up to breach the current consolidation zone, XRP could surge even further above, as the Ripple tokens aims for prices above $1.80.

Conversely, if the bears take charge of the price at this level, the price of XRP could plunge, with the previous support at $1.15 acting as the next cushion against downward pressure.

Meanwhile, as the Ripple token aims for a breakout, investors are rushing to buy the newly launched meme coin Catslap (SLAP), which soared 2,000% after its listing less than a week ago.

According to ClayBro, a prominent crypto analyst with over 131K subscribers, Catslap could be the next meme coin to surge 50X.

Catslap Meme Coin – The Best Crypto To Buy Now

Catslap has emerged as a standout project, surging an impressive 2,000% since its launch. This token, introduced on the Ethereum network, boasts a market cap of approximately $20 million and locked liquidity of $1.9 million.

The project aims to bridge the market gap between $30 million and $100 million cat-themed tokens. Catslap does this by combining addictive gameplay with crypto innovation through its interactive “Slapometer” feature.

Currently, $SLAP is priced at $0.002284, with a 24-hour trading volume of $811,000, according to Coingecko. Its marketing strategy is impressive, with a surge in followers and engagement on its social media platforms, hinting at a strong community-building effort.

Catslap appears well-positioned to follow the success of cat-themed token rivals like POPCAT, MEW, and MOG. 

Its “Hot Token” status on Best Wallet, a fast-growing crypto wallet, connects it to over 60,000 users, boosting visibility and momentum.

Catslap’s staking feature offers a sustainable 40% return, and its interactive, ‘memeable’ gameplay adds to its appeal. The game has already garnered significant attention, with millions of ‘slaps’ recorded, showcasing its potential for viral growth.

You can purchase $SLAP Token from its official website here. Buy before what the team says will be a major announcement in just 7 days.

Analyst: ETH Not Ready for Bull Run till Huge Correction

Benjamin Cowen, a cryptocurrency strategist, is bearish on Ethereum (ETH) because the second-largest digital asset has failed to climb back above a key resistance level. In a new video, Cowen tells his 785,000 YouTube subscribers that the price of Ethereum is likely to go down because there is a lot of “anxiety” around the $1,800 mark. Cowen says that there isn’t as much “apathy” in the market as there was during the bear season of 2019/2020. “There’s so much anxiety in this level [$1,800 resistance level] like I think it’s much more likely to break down eventually… I will be the first to admit it’s taking longer than I thought it would. But I also don’t really feel that same type of apathy in the market now that I did back in 2019 and 2020.” At the time of writing, one Ethereum is worth $1,736. Cowen says that less people would care about Ethereum if the price of the second most valuable cryptocurrency fell to triple digi...
