Ripple (XRP) and Cardano (ADA), two prominent altcoins in the cryptocurrency market, have remained relatively unaffected by market sentiment as they continue to hover around the $0.5 mark for an extended period of time. This prolonged period of inactivity has sparked worries among investors regarding the possible loss of momentum and support. Consequently, the focus has shifted to the question of whether XRP and ADA will be able to surpass the $1 threshold at some point in 2024, a topic that is being closely monitored by eager market participants.
