XRP mainstream reach swells as it secures listing on new Turkey exchange

Published

XRP

Undoubtedly, Ripple is one of the widely-loved blockchain projects in the world today and this due to its numerous adoptions, listings, and utility. Continuing with its mainstream adoption rush, Ripple’s XRP has made it to the highly-awaited newly-launched crypto-exchange platform of Turkey, Coinzo.

The exchange went live just a couple of days ago and decided to add XRP to the list of digital assets available to be traded on its platform. The breaking news came through a tweet by a member of Ripple community, @LeoHadjiiloizou. Tweet reads:

Turkey is taking more interests in cryptocurrency, and with most of its exchanges indulging cryptocurrencies, we may see a big boom in the crypto sphere over there.

Coinzo is a new cryptocurrency exchange ready to grow in the crypto world. It currently has six digital assets available for trading including BTC, ETH, XRP, EOS, HOT, and GAS. The crypto-exchange itself said in a tweet:

The crypto currency exchange Coinzo is online, offering Global services as standard! #kriptopara #BTC #ETH #XRP #EOS #NEO #Holochain #CNZ $BTC $ETH $XRP $EOS $NEO $HOT $CNZ.” 

Coinzo also highlighted the available trading pairs on its official Twitter page, the platform notes,

Pairs that you can process in Coinzo/try/try/try/try/try/// #kriptopara $BTC $ETH $XRP $NEO $EOS $HOT #NEO #BTC #EOS #BTC #XRP #BTC #ETH #BTC #bitcoin #coinzo.”

Ripple’s XRP, on the other hand, is the third biggest cryptocurrency with a market capitalization of about $20 billion (19.9 B at the time of press, to be more specific). The blockchain was created by its progenitors: Chris Larsen, Jed McCaleb and Arthur Britto in 2012. Its token, XRP, was also established at that time.

Subsequently, Ripple’s XRP ledger is an open-source technology that was created a year later. The XRP ledger supports faster payments and decentralized exchange of other cryptocurrencies. It is important to know that through this ledger, XRP payments can be settled within a few seconds with a less amount of energy, and it can handle up to 1,500 transactions per second due to its scalability capabilities.

Furthermore, Ripple’s XRP is not just any cryptocurrency, because it aims to solve real-life problems. The cryptocurrency is poised to change the way cross-border payments are done across the world today.

Coming back to XRP listing on newly-launched Turkish exchange Coinzo, Ripple community have expressed their happiness concerning the event as it would raise the interest of Turkish investors towards Ripple’s ecosystem.

XRP Price Analysis

At the time of writing, alongside all other significant coins, XRP is in the red and trading at $0.497. In the last 24 hours, the XRP/USD trading pair is faced with the $0.49 resistance level. It is however probable that if the bull momentum moves the price above the current resistance level, then the price of XRP hit $0.62 soon. At that price, gains can be achieved, because, at $0.62, a price rally upward is inevitable.

Also, XRP’s high SMA and RSI level clearly show overbought and this indicates a short-term bull trend. If the price of XRP goes below its current SMA level, then we may see a bearish trend against our predictions.

Published

on

No matter what our goals are, sometimes just getting started can be the most difficult part of building our savings up. When it comes to investing, many of us are wary of parting with our money to generate more financial security in the future. But what if you can build significant savings without even noticing?

That’s the aim of the micro-investing apps that have come to dominate online stores across Android and iOS. Today, more fintech startups are working on delivering refined solutions that encourage minuscule investments at a more frequent rate. 

Micro-Investing apps will look to make saving more accessible to young people – many of whom in the UK have little-to-no money tucked away for a rainy day. 

However, the prevalence of money-saving technology and the disruptive chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic appears to have prompted a widespread increase in households saving more of their disposable income:

With micro-investing platforms playing a role in bringing UK household savings back up to five-year highs, is it fair to say that little-by-little investing is here to stay? Let’s take a look at how micro-investment platforms could revolutionise how we manage our finances:

What is Micro-Investing

Micro-investing, or sparse change investing, is a relatively new development in fintech. It effectively enables users to put away small amounts of money towards their long, or short, term goals. The idea…
