XRP（XRP）捲土重來，「Dino」硬幣吸引了零售甚至加密貨幣的關注

經歷了所有風風雨雨的加密貨幣市場參與者，忙於擺脫熊市創傷後壓力症候群，卻被砍了

Bitcoin might be hovering near $100,000 per coin, but altcoins are having a blast, especially those coins that were once widely popular in previous cycles but have since lost their significance to new projects.

比特幣的價格可能徘徊在每枚 10 萬美元附近，但山寨幣正在蓬勃發展，尤其是那些在之前的周期中曾經廣泛流行但後來失去了對新項目的重要性的硬幣。

One such old coin that is hogging all the limelight and liquidity from the market is XRP. The very same XRP that was once going to gain real-world adoption among banks and has been involved in a lawsuit against the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is now back on people's minds and portfolios.

XRP 就是這樣一種古老的貨幣，它佔據了市場的所有關注和流動性。曾經在現實世界中獲得銀行採用並捲入針對美國證券交易委員會（SEC）訴訟的 XRP 現在又重新出現在人們的腦海和投資組合中。

XRP was originally developed in 2011, so it's one of the original coins that is still in existence today. At the time of the XRP Ledger's launch, the founders pre-mined 100 billion tokens, which is all the XRP in existence.

XRP 最初於 2011 年開發，因此它是至今仍然存在的原始硬幣之一。在 XRP Ledger 推出時，創辦人預挖了 1000 億個代幣，這就是現有的所有 XRP。

Out of these, 80 billion tokens were given to Ripple, a separate fintech entity that builds global payment systems to fund the project's future development, operations, expansion, and adoption. The rest of the 20 billion XRP tokens were divided among the founders. So, whenever Ripple and its founders sell coins from their stash, new coins enter the market. As of writing, there are just over 57 billion XRP coins in circulation, according to CoinGecko.

其中，800 億枚代幣被授予 Ripple，這是一個獨立的金融科技實體，該實體建立全球支付系統，為該專案的未來開發、營運、擴展和採用提供資金。其餘 200 億 XRP 代幣由創辦人分配。因此，每當 Ripple 及其創辦人出售其儲備的代幣時，就會有新的代幣進入市場。根據 CoinGecko 的數據，截至撰寫本文時，流通中的 XRP 幣剛剛超過 570 億枚。

When it comes to price, XRP is currently trading at $2.65, up a whopping 430% since November 5, when the entire crypto market started its bullish mania driven by Republican President-elect Donald Trump winning the US presidential election.

就價格而言，XRP 目前的交易價格為2.65 美元，自11 月5 日以來上漲了430%，當時整個加密貨幣市場在共和黨當選總統唐納德·川普贏得美國總統大選的推動下開始了看漲狂潮。

For some, this insane jump may seem out of the ordinary, but not only are such moves normal in crypto but XRP, in particular, is known for sudden price bursts.

對某些人來說，這種瘋狂的跳躍可能看起來很不尋常，但這種走勢不僅在加密貨幣中很正常，而且 XRP 尤其以價格突然暴漲而聞名。

For instance, during the 2017 bull market, XRP started the year around $0.0065, and it was still trading at this level in mid-March when, in less than a month, its price had over a 10x surge in its value, and then in May, it further went up, above $0.46. In the same year, the price was trading around $0.2 when the price started pumping ten days into that month. This face-melting rally had XRP price hitting an all-time high (ATH) of $3.40 on January 7, 2018, representing an increase of more than 520x in its value in just over a year.

例如，在 2017 年多頭市場期間，XRP 年初價格約為 0.0065 美元，3 月中旬仍保持在這一水平，不到一個月的時間，其價格飆升了 10 倍以上，然後在5月份進一步上漲，突破0.46美元。同年，當月價格開始上漲十天時，價格約為 0.2 美元。這次令人崩潰的漲勢使得 XRP 價格在 2018 年 1 月 7 日觸及 3.40 美元的歷史新高 (ATH)，在短短一年多的時間裡其價值增長了 520 倍以上。

While XRP price rallied strongly in the 2021 bull market, the performance wasn't anywhere near the 2017 cycle. The last bull cycle saw XRP price only pulling a 10x, as it went from $0.2 at the beginning of that year to almost $2 in April 2021.

儘管 XRP 價格在 2021 年牛市中強勁上漲，但表現與 2017 年周期相差甚遠。在上一個牛市週期中，XRP 價格僅上漲了 10 倍，從年初的 0.2 美元漲至 2021 年 4 月的近 2 美元。

So, XRP hasn't hit a new peak in almost seven years. But the market hopes are high this time around as the crypto asset shows renewed signs of life.

因此，XRP 已經將近七年沒有達到新的高峰了。但隨著加密資產顯示出新的生命跡象，這次市場的希望很高。

XRP was actually doing mostly nothing while the broad crypto market rallied this past two years, but it finally changed with the US election win.

在過去兩年加密貨幣市場全面上漲的過程中，XRP 實際上幾乎沒有做任何事情，但隨著美國大選的勝利，這種情況最終發生了變化。

Suddenly, the market was bid aggressively on XRP. In less than a month, XRP's price surpassed the 2021 high, hitting $2.9 on December 3. As of writing, XRP/USD has been trading at $2.64 while managing $42.5 billion in 24-hour volume, which is 4th largest after Tether, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.

突然間，市場對 XRP 的競價非常激烈。在不到一個月的時間裡，XRP 的價格超越了2021 年的高點，於12 月3 日觸及2.9 美元。億美元，位居第四，僅次於Tether、比特幣、和以太坊。

With these latest gains, the $149 billion market cap XRP has overtaken Solana (SOL) and Tether (USDT) to become the 3rd largest cryptocurrency. Meanwhile, its price is now only 22.7% away from its ATH.

憑藉這些最新收益，市值 1,490 億美元的 XRP 已超越 Solana (SOL) 和 Tether (USDT)，成為第三大加密貨幣。同時，其價格目前僅距最高價格 22.7%。

Interestingly, XRP is far closer to its peak than ETH, which is 23.7% away from its 2021 high of $4,880, and Dogecoin, which is 42.6% off of the $0.731 peak. So, what's behind XRP's strong price performance?

有趣的是，XRP 比 ETH 更接近峰值，ETH 距離 2021 年高點 4,880 美元低 23.7%，狗狗幣距離峰值 0.731 美元低 42.6%。那麼，XRP 強勁的性價比背後是什麼？

‘Dino' Coins Capturing Retail & Even Crypto Attention

「恐龍」硬幣吸引了零售甚至加密貨幣的關注

The crypto market participants, who have been here through all the ups and downs, busy trying to get rid of bear market PTSD, getting chopped, chasing airdrops, and accumulating newer coins for a new bull market, the mainstream retail investors completely bypassed those and either went into different new coins like the CHILLGUY or chose the old route.

經歷過風風雨雨的加密貨幣市場參與者，忙著擺脫熊市PTSD，被砍，追逐空投，為新牛市積累新幣，主流散戶完全繞過了這些，要么進入不同的新硬幣，如CHILLGUY，要么選擇舊路線。

XRP is one of those coins that investors heavily bid among old coins. These so-called ‘dino' coins are cryptocurrencies that once had exciting use cases and all the popularity but have since lost ground to other new projects.

XRP 是投資者在舊代幣中大力競價的代幣之一。這些所謂的「恐龍」幣是一種加密貨幣，曾經擁有令人興奮的用例和所有的受歡迎程度，但後來卻被其他新項目所取代。

Besides XRP, the old coins that pumped significantly involve Litecoin (LTC), Tron (TRX), Cardano (ADA), Stellar Lumens (XLM), Hedera (

除了 XRP 之外，漲幅較大的舊幣還包括萊特幣 (LTC)、波場 (TRX)、卡爾達諾 (ADA)、Stellar Lumens (XLM)、Hedera (
