以市值計算，XRP 超越 USDT 成為第三大最有價值數位資產

Ripple Labs 的 XRP 目前已成為市值第三大的數位資產，在排名中再次超越 USDT。

Now the third most valuable digital asset by market capitalization, XRP has once again surpassed USDT in the rankings. The currency is currently trading at $2.42 per token, boasting an increase of 1.12% throughout the day.

現在，XRP 再次超越 USDT，成為市值第三大的數位資產。目前該貨幣的交易價格為每枚 2.42 美元，全天漲幅為 1.12%。

Longer timeframe charts reveal an even more optimistic outlook on the recent performance of XRP. Over the last 7 days, the asset gained a whopping 13.46% in value. During that same period, its market capitalization gained over $20 billion in value, currently sitting at a total of $141.12 billion.

更長的時間框架圖表揭示了 XRP 近期表現的更樂觀的前景。在過去 7 天裡，該資產的價值飆升了 13.46%。同期，其市值增加超過 200 億美元，目前總計 1,411.2 億美元。

This most recent surge led the currency to surpass Tether’s $137 billion market capitalization, cementing the currency once again as the third most valuable digital asset out there. Since early December, XRP and USDT have been going toe to toe to maintain the third-place position. While the end of the year market retraction made it look like XRP would lose the race, recent developments in Asia have boosted investors’ optimism toward the project.

最近的飆升導致該貨幣超過了 Tether 1,370 億美元的市值，再次鞏固了該貨幣作為第三大最有價值數位資產的地位。自12月初以來，XRP和USDT一直保持第三名的位置。雖然年底市場回落讓 XRP 看起來將輸掉這場競賽，但亞洲最近的事態發展提振了投資者對該項目的樂觀情緒。

A couple of days ago we reported how up to 80% of the Japanese banking sector was likely to adopt XRP as a way to facilitate cross-border payments via the XRP ledger. At the time of this report, XRP traded at $2.17 — only a couple of days after the asset had already gained 11.52% in value, proving how confident the market is on the new probable deal between Ripple Labs and Japanese banks.

幾天前，我們報道了多達 80% 的日本銀行業可能會採用 XRP 作為透過 XRP 分類帳促進跨國支付的一種方式。截至本報告發佈時，XRP 的交易價格為2.17 美元——就在幾天前，該資產的價值已經上漲了11.52%，這證明了市場對Ripple Labs 與日本銀行之間可能達成的新交易的信心。

Can XRP Regain The $2.90 Zone?

XRP 能否重回 2.90 美元區域？

This week’s surge in value has led the asset to recover the $2.40 zone. Prior to the retraction seen from December 18 until December 30 led the asset to go as low as $2.02.

本週價值飆升導致該資產收復 2.40 美元區域。在此之前，從 12 月 18 日到 12 月 30 日的撤回導致該資產跌至 2.02 美元。

The current zone XRP trades at has historically been a “make or break” margin, serving as both support and resistance even during 2018's historic rise to $3.32. Looking ahead, the currency could be positioning itself for another major rally later down the month, as major developments in the U.S. Government unfold.

從歷史上看，XRP 的當前交易區域一直是「成敗」的保證金，即使在 2018 年歷史性上漲至 3.32 美元期間，它也充當支撐和阻力。展望未來，隨著美國政府的重大發展，該貨幣可能會在本月稍後再次大幅上漲。

On January 20, Donald Trump will take office as the next United States President. His electoral win on November 5th has positively affected the cryptocurrency market, with many attributing the Republican’s victory to new hopes of a more crypto-friendly American government.

1 月 20 日，唐納德·川普將就任下一任美國總統。他 11 月 5 日的選舉勝利對加密貨幣市場產生了積極影響，許多人將共和黨的勝利歸因於對加密貨幣更友善的美國政府的新希望。

Moreover, on the same date, the currency SEC Chair Gary Gensler will step down from the position. This is arguably an even more impactful event than Trump’s inauguration as Gensler has often been viewed by cryptocurrency enthusiasts as a great rival to crypto development in the nation.

此外，同日，貨幣 SEC 主席加里·詹斯勒 (Gary Gensler) 將辭去職務。這可以說是比川普就職典禮更具影響力的事件，因為加密貨幣愛好者經常將 Gensler 視為美國加密貨幣發展的強大競爭對手。

XRP was among the cryptocurrencies that gained the most value since the election, mostly because of its public antagonism towards Gensler. Once the current SEC Chair resigns, investors can expect a lot of volatility in the market, particularly for Ripple Labs’ currency.

XRP 是自選舉以來價值最高的加密貨幣之一，主要是因為它公開反對 Gensler。一旦現任 SEC 主席辭職，投資者預計市場將出現大幅波動，尤其是 Ripple Labs 的貨幣。
