Despite all this, Ripple (available on Binance) is currently trending down with much of the rest of the crypto market. Why? Well, Ripple (available on Binance)’s donation is great, but unlikely somETHing that will get people buying XRP. As for the Uphold news, which you would think would be encouraging to buyers, this might be somETHing that has more of a long-term effect on Ripple (available on Binance)’s price. But I suppose we can only wait and see.
