XRP price gathers momentum after Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit edges closer to the final stages.
TheCryptoBasic reported that both Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission officially filed summary judgment motions last weekend. This gave investors the idea that the lawsuit’s end date was approaching.
As the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit edges closer to its end, XRP, the cryptocurrency linked to the Silicon Valley tech company, has continued to record a series of positive developments in the past week.
The most important development is the massive rally of XRP in the past week. According to data from Coingecko, XRP has soared 53.8% in the last seven days.
Within this period, the price of XRP moved from a low of $0.329 to a high of $0.54. The price of XRP has retraced a little to $0.50 at the time of writing.
While filing summary judgment motions by the parties is responsible for the XRP price surge to a large extent, Ripple whale activities may also have played roles in the rally.
Hundreds of millions of XRP have been shuffled between unknown whales and addresses on cryptocurrency exchanges this month so far. Interestingly, these large transactions involving XRP do not seem like they will be ending anytime soon.
