What’s new? The value of the native token of the Ripple (XRP) payment protocol has risen by 61,6% over the past week. As of September 23, 08:30 UTC, the asset is trading at $0,5084, having gained 19,45% per day. Probably, such indicators are related to the possible termination of the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) legal case against Ripple on the issue of recognizing XRP as a security. On September 18, the company filed a motion for a summary judgment.
