XLM’s Role as a High-Beta Alternative to XRP
This upward trajectory is directly associated with XLM because many analysts refer to XLM as RP’s ‘high-beta cousin.’ This simply implies that in the past, XLM has generally mirrored the XRP movement, and in some way, heightened its volatility. XRP itself has really been on a good run up; it is up by about 180% in the last two weeks.
The new increases in XRP can be established with other macroeconomic factors and adjustments in regulations. Such political developments as the recent success of Donald Trump and the announcement of SEC Chairman Gary Gensler about his readiness to resign have also played into the growing hopes for a more tolerant approach of the authorities to cryptocurrencies. Market players feel that XRP, which has been in the middle of regulatory issues with the SEC, may stand to gain from these changes.
