Factors Responsible for XRP’s Recent Surge

The current rise in XRP price could be related to Ripple’s legal victory over the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) of the United States. As was previously reported, Judge Torres determined that while Ripple’s constitutional sales of the token were regarded as securities, programmatic sales of XRP on secondary markets were not. As XRP’s price increased by more than 90% after the court’s decision, the ramifications of Judge Torres’ decision gave rise to hope for the cryptocurrency.

Following the aforementioned decision, the SEC filed an interlocutory appeal to challenge Judge Torres’ decision. The result of this appeal could have a big effect on XRP’s pricing and activity on the XRP Ledger. With a market cap of $31,539,338,347 as of this writing, XRP is the fifth-largest cryptocurrency according to CoinGecko data.
