  • XRP holders that interact with the Automated Market Maker and provide their holdings to swappers, qualify for passive income. 
  • XRP price is $0.62 on Sunday, the altcoin sustained above the psychologically important level of $0.60.

XRP price is in an uptrend and $0.6293 and $0.6500 are two key resistances in the altcoin’s path to rally towards its 2024 peak of $0.6685.
