Is XRP Price Up for a Bullish Upswing or a Bearish Dip?

XRP Altcoin News
  • XRP is currently trading at $0.5861, reflecting a 1.63% decrease amid bearish momentum.
  • Community sentiment remains bullish at 84%, despite the SEC’s plans to appeal the recent favorable ruling for Ripple.

XRP recently outperformed many cryptocurrencies but is currently trading at $0.5861, reflecting a 1.63% decrease. The 24-hour trading volume stands at $940 million, a 14.94% drop, while the market capitalization is approximately $33 billion, down 1.67%. 

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, recently addressed a concerning incident involving the Supreme Court of India’s YouTube channel, which was hacked and displayed videos promoting Ripple and XRP. Garlinghouse emphasized that Ripple will never ask users to send XRP, calling it “pathetic” that scammers exploit vulnerable crypto users. He urged the community to “stop, spot, avoid” scams and protect themselves against fraud.

Despite this setback, the U.S. SEC has announced its intention to file an appeal in the ongoing lawsuit against Ripple. This development comes after a federal judge ruled in favor of Ripple, declaring that XRP is not a security when sold on exchanges. The SEC’s appeal reflects its ongoing commitment to regulate the cryptocurrency industry and may further influence XRP’s market dynamics.
