XRP’s latest price dip came after the SEC announced it would delay its decision on three spot ETF applications for Dogecoin (DOGE) and XRP. The move came as a surprise to many, given that the SEC now has a pro-crypto head, Paul Atkins.

The latest rebound came after Bitcoin (BTC) climbed to the $107,000 level. The original cryptocurrency is close to hitting a new all-time high. Ripple’s XRP token and the general crypto market could witness another bullish leg if BTC hits a new peak.

Will The Asset Reclaim $3 If Bitcoin Hits $110,000?

Ripple’s XRP token and BTC are not very closely correlated at the moment. BTC hitting a new peak does not confirm an XRP rally. That said, BTC reaching a new all-time high could lead to a surge in investor confidence that could lead to XRP hitting $3. XRP is currently down by 30.5% from its all-time high of $3.40. The asset hit its peak in January 2018, more than seven years ago.

According to CoinCodex, BTC could hit a new peak of $112,819 as early as May 23. This is merely an anticipation. CoinCodex’s forecast is not a confirmation that BTC will truly hit a new peak.
