XRP vs. ADA: Technical Indicators
XRP price has been charting a falling wedge pattern for the better part of the one-month, two-month, and six-month windows. That is often a bullish reversal signal. Meanwhile, December saw bullish open interest in XRP long positions, with traders paying record fees to keep their positions open.
The summary technical analysis recommendation for ADA on TradingView Friday was “Buy” on a scale from “Strong Sell” to “Strong Buy.” ADA price traded at a bullish premium of $0.62 above its 30-day exponential moving average of $0.556, 50-day EMA of $0.504, and 100-day EMA of $0.428 on Friday’s chart.
XRP vs. ADA: Product and Community
Ripple continued expanding its business in Q4. At its annual Swell conference in Dubai this November, Ripple Labs announced it is expanding to serve U.S. corporate clients that don’t have their own money transmitter license with its updated settlements platform, Ripple Payments. In addition, Ripple announced a partnership with an African fintech company to extend XRP remittance services in Africa.
Like Ripple, Cardano expanded globally in Q4, rolling out a massive ADA education program in Brazil and a national ID service in Ethiopia. Meanwhile, the Cardano community is excited about codifying and moving the ADA ecosystem’s governance model on-chain in 2024. Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson said the CIP-1694 upgrade will make ADA the most decentralized cryptocurrency.
Ripple vs. Cardano: SEC Regulation
Both XRP and ADA prices are exposed to regulatory risks from future SEC actions and court decisions. Ripple has been in a battle with the SEC for years but scored three significant victories in 2023.
Ripple Labs seemed confident enough in the outcome of the case as it opened a new global headquarters in San Francisco in December. Meanwhile, in a new lawsuit against Kraken exchange filed in November, the SEC named ADA unregistered security, potentially adding some bumps ahead for token prices.
