XRP, XLM and DOGE See Recovery in Stateside Demand

by

What to know:

  • XRP, XLM and DOGE trade at par on Coinbase and Binance.
  • Prices traded at a discount on Coinbase in December.
  • The narrowing of the discount reflects renewed stateside demand.

This week, there’s been a significant upturn in the crypto market, with the prices of popular altcoins such as XRP, Dogecoin (DOGE), and Stellar Lumens (XLM) seeing a considerable increase.

The prices of these tokens are roughly similar across both the U.S.-listed exchange, Coinbase (often seen as an indicator of domestic demand), and the international exchange, Binance, according to TradingView data.

The increased rebounds in Coinbase’s prices during the latter part of last month suggest a resurgence of American investor interest in these financial markets.

The graphs provided demonstrate what’s known as the Coinbase premium indicator for XRP, XLM, and DOGE. This indicator compares the US dollar-valued prices on Coinbase to the prices in Tether (USDT) on Binance. Tether is a well-known stablecoin, meaning it maintains a value that corresponds directly with the U.S. dollar.

In early December, the price premium for the three tokens on Coinbase significantly increased due to Bitcoin‘s surge past its all-time high of $108,000, encouraging risky investments. However, Bitcoin’s upward trend started to slow down in the latter half of the month as market anticipation of a more hawkish Fed stance grew, causing a chill in the bullish sentiment for altcoins.

The premium, then, quickly turned to a discount.
