XRP (Ripple) Surges While Crypto Market Slips: What’s Fueling the Divergence?

While the broader crypto market is flashing red, one altcoin is defying the trend. XRP (XRP) is making an independent move upward, grabbing trader attention as it outpaces top tokens like Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).
