It also contrasts massively from Q2 2019 where the company sold $251 million worth of this cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>The significant sales cut comes as part of Ripple\u2019s mission to act as \u201cdisciplined, responsible stakeholders.\u201d As a result, the firm decided to paused programmatic sales entirely in Q4.<\/p>\n<p>According to Larry Cermak, director of research at The Block, this is the first time ever recorded that Ripple cuts down programmatic sales entirely, which could be linked to regulatory concerns.<\/p>\n<p>Cermak <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lawmaster\/status\/1220308673282613249?s=20\">said<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor the first time ever (since they started reporting), Ripple didn't sell any XRP to exchanges (they call this &#8220;programmatic sales&#8221;). I'm not really sure why that happened since they continued to sell OTC.

Since the peak, this cryptocurrency has not been able to make a higher high.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, it continues making a series of lower lows and it recently hit $0.176. The last time XRP was trading at this price level was the week of Oct. 30, 2017.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1805px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/rGL9Cxb8\/\" alt=\"XRP US dollar price chart\" width=\"1805\" height=\"894\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/chart\/XRPUSD\/\">XRP\/USD<\/a> by TradingView<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Although XRP was able to surge nearly 45 percent since the recent low, the TD sequential indicator presented a sell signal on the 1-day chart that wiped off 16 percent of the gains. Now, it seems the 50-day moving average was able to contain the price of this crypto from a further retracement.<\/p>\n<p>If this price hurdle continues to hold, XRP could bounce off to the 100-day moving average.

ODL handled 5.5x more value in this quarter than it did in Q3 as more financial institutions signed for these services.
