You’ve heard of the halvening and Uptober, but are you familiar with the other major calendar event when crypto is odds-on to go up? Say hello to the Santa Claus rally, bringing good tidings and cheer to traders worldwide. If all you want for Christmas is a screen-busting green candle for all your crypto bags, this is the seasonal event for you.
What’s the basis for believing in a Santa Claus rally, and is there any reason to think that 2024 will live up to previous years? Let’s examine the science behind this distinctively unscientific phenomenon.
According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP has a maximum supply of 100 billion tokens, with approximately 57 billion XRP circulating.
XRP (XRP) experienced a historic rally in November 2024 due to political tailwinds and new ecosystem developments. Georgios Vlachos, co-founder of the Axelar open-source interoperability platform, told Cointelegraph that the upcoming RLUSD stablecoin will likely boost demand for XRP in 2025.
Vlachos said that many people, including those in emerging economies, use stablecoins as a method of transaction and a store of value. RLUSD transactions and remittances will mostly settle on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and the XRP-EVM sidechain, driving demand for XRP. Vlachos told Cointelegraph:
XRP climbed to a seven-year high of approximately $2.90 on Dec. 3, 2024, but pulled back to current price levels after the Relative Strength Index (RSI) hit 95, indicating the asset was overbought. Despite the pullback, several catalysts have sustained investor attention for XRP going into 2025.

The release of the Dencun upgrade in March 2024 dramatically lowered fees for Ethereum layer-2 scaling networks, causing Ethereum layer-1 revenues to collapse by 99%.
Decreased fees translated into reduced demand for the smart contract cryptocurrency. However, network fees began to rebound in September 2024.
