Claim BonusIs XRP’s Price On The Cusp Of Fresh Rally Following This Major Development?
Ripple, which is often shrouded in media coverage for its ongoing SEC lawsuit, recently announced its plans to develop a central bank digital currency (CBDC) for the Central Bank of Montenegro. The national bank will collaborate to further devise a plan to boost the CBDC’s circulation in the country. In the wake of this news, XRP’s price has breached the coveted $0.5 price mark and appears to be continuing its upward trajectory.

XRP has been on a roller-coaster ride this year as it has shown both unpredictable highs & lows.
