Fund to Ukraine
Tweets-
The Ripple charity had tweeted that,
Ripple stands with Ukraine against the Russian invasion. Today, we're donating $1M shared between @refugees and @WCKitchen to bolster their incredible efforts helping displaced people in Ukraine and neighboring countries.
The community has been making an effort to aid Ukraine as the country withstands an invasion of its territory from the Russian Federation. Outnumbered and outmatched in terms of military force, the Ukrainian government accepted aid from anyone willing to lend it. The Ripple donation appears to be the “Reserve fund of Ukraine”.
XRP’s Bump after Tweet?
Ripple and the digital token (XRP) price witnessed an impressive uptick .As on March 2022 it had a 6% bump in its price action. In fact, XRP’s 1-week social activity signaled a bullish scenario following the development. The 1-hr, and 24-hr active address metric, showed a rise on Santiment’s chart. This uptick is used to indicate an increase in investors’ interest. However, a spike in the active address count is followed by a price bump. Analysts should reconsider that XRP will move higher.
Conclusion
Even after the $1 million donation announcement, XRP didn’t witness any positive price action “the bullish”. It will not hold true for XRP since the number of transactions executed had declined quite significantly.
