What’s interesting is, despite its disappointing recent form, the altcoin is being earmarked as one of the assets overvalued by the market in the moment. According to the latest on-chain data, the XRP token could witness a repricing over the coming weeks. NVT Ratio Climbs 20% In A Single Week In a Quicktake post on the CryptoQuant platform, CryptoOnchain hypothesized that XRP appears to have entered the “overvalued” territory.
