XRP Price & Ripple vs SEC Lawsuit
According to many industry analysts, the judgment of the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple is very close. Considering the court proceedings and the arguments from both parties, many analysts are predicting a win for Ripple. While the ruling can still go either way, many traders have taken the opportunity to load up their XRP bags below $0.50.
This has led to a massive surge in Ripple price, which soared to its new YTD highs in March 2023.

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse took to Twitter to urge government officials to take notice of Gary Gensler’s actions.
