The XRP cryptocurrency reached its biggest single day gain
On Saturday, XRP touched its biggest single-day high in 3 years. The move was similar to a crowd pump recently observed in out-of-favor stocks such as GameStop.
XRP was 56% up to the highest level of $0.50944. It was the highest level since Dec 22. And biggest single-day gain since Dec. 21, 2017.
Reportedly, behind this bullish move is a Telegram-based group called Buy & Hold XRP, which started on Saturday, and the group’s membership hit Telegram’s 200,000 ceilings within the first 24 hours, forcing a migration to a new official channel with a similar title but a different link.

Jehan Chu, co-founder and managing partner at Hong Kong-based Kenetic Capital, said that “Traditional Crypto-Pump groups are being copied and legitimized by WallStreetBets-style crowd-pumps, and are now turning their burning gaze from Dogecoin (DOGE, +37.04%) to XRP.”
These tactics like Classic pump and dump are very common in Cryptocurrencies, especially in XRP. But this bullish rally was boosted by some amateur day traders based on a Reddit forum called WallStreetBets, they have recently launched a buying attack on the video game retailer Gamestop.
Due to which Gamestop surged nearly 400% last week, extending the preceding week’s 83% rise and attracting unwanted attention from regulators.
