Bloomberg Sparks XRP Army Reactions
A recent article published by Bloomberg has ignited controversy within the XRP community. In an article titled “Settlement Speculation Pushes XRP to Forefront of Crypto Rally,” the financial news outlet described XRP as a “little-known cryptocurrency.” This characterization of the seventh-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization has drawn criticism from XRP supporters.
The article, shared by Bloomberg Crypto on X, attributes XRP’s recent 40% price surge to speculation surrounding a potential settlement in the ongoing legal dispute between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple.
XRP Community Responds
Members of the XRP community were quick to express their dissatisfaction with Bloomberg’s description of the cryptocurrency. Prominent XRP advocates, including cryptocurrency YouTuber Ben Armstrong, popularly known as BitBoy, voiced his disagreement with the characterization. Zach Rector, another prominent voice in the XRP community, called the description a joke, promising to address the issue in a video.
While Bloomberg highlighted XRP’s significant price increase, the “little-known” label misrepresents the cryptocurrency’s visibility and standing within the crypto ecosystem. XRP has consistently ranked among the top ten cryptocurrencies by market capitalization, indicating substantial market interest and adoption.
One XRP enthusiast suggests that Bloomberg intentionally used the “little-known” description to generate engagement and increase the article’s visibility. This strategy seems to have worked, as the post had over 125,000 views at press time.

XRP’s Status in the Crypto Market
Beyond its position in the cryptocurrency market, XRP has gained prominence due to its involvement in the infamous XRPlawsuit. The case has attracted widespread attention from the crypto industry and traditional finance. This lawsuit has given XRP a unique status as the only altcoin with legal clarity.
Furthermore, XRP has found applications in the traditional finance sector. Financial institutions such as Tranglo and various Japanese banks have adopted Ripple’s payment solution to facilitate cross-border settlements using XRP.
XRP is trading at $0.5652, down 8.32% over the past 24 hours. Despite this seemingly significant drop, XRP is up 25.79% over the past week, and could still recover from this 24-hour decline. However, this decline was not caused by Bloomberg’s comments.
Whether Bloomberg’s characterization was intentional or a genuine oversight, it has sparked a conversation about XRP’s visibility and impact within the cryptocurrency and broader financial landscape. XRP’s influence in global finance is expanding rapidly, and it has become much more than just another little-known cryptocurrency.
