XRP Price Dips 2% in 24 Hours
The latest round of XRP transfers comes when the price of XRP has started losing gains from last week’s rally. Recall that XRP spiked to a 4-month high of $0.53 last week.
XRP gained momentum after it was speculated across various social media platforms that Judge Analisa Torres would likely rule in favor of Ripple in its ongoing lawsuit with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
At press time, XRP is currently changing hands at $0.43, down 2.5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from cryptocurrency aggregator platform Coingecko.
