The prices of Bitcoin [BTC] spiked and crossed the $6,000-mark on Bitfinex on May 3. The rise of BTC contributed to most altcoins, including XRP, the third largest coin in the world, surging. According to CoinMarketCap, XRP spiked by 2.29% over the past 24 hours and started correcting itself as it noted a dip of 0.07% within the hour. At press time, the coin was valued at $0.3106, with a market cap of $13.04 billion.
Even though the price of the coin was far from $0.50, it was valued at $0.54 on the crypto-exchange, BitBay. Yes, cryptocurrencies do have some difference in valuation on exchanges.
