Daily digest market movers: Ripple lawsuit may not see SEC appeal

Pro-crypto attorney Bill Morgan said in an official tweet on X that the SEC is less likely to appeal the final ruling in the Ripple lawsuit.
Attorney Morgan explains that if one takes legal considerations into account, Judge Analisa Torres’ final decision in the lawsuit can be interpreted as a win for the regulator.
The pro-crypto attorney explained in a recent post that the judge presiding over the SEC vs. Kraken case preferred the approach of Judge Amy Berman Jackson in the SEC vs. Binance lawsuit and Judge Torres in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. The highlight is that in these cases, the judge distinguishes between the primary and secondary market sales of the asset.

Technical analysis: XRP could dip nearly 9%

While XRP recovered from the recent correction earlier this week, the altcoin looks primed for a nearly 8.37% decline. XRP could dip to the lower boundary of the Fair Value Gap (FVG) at $0.5188, a key support level for the asset.

The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows red histogram bars under the neutral line, meaning there is an underlying negative momentum in XRP price trend.

XRP/USDT daily chart

If a daily candlestick closes above $0.5785, it could invalidate the bearish thesis. XRP could rally toward the psychologically important $0.6000 level seen in the XRP/USDT daily chart.

Ripple FAQs

Ripple is a payments company that specializes in cross-border remittance. The company does this by leveraging blockchain technology. RippleNet is a network used for payments transfer created by Ripple Labs Inc. and is open to financial institutions worldwide. The company also leverages the XRP token.

What is XRP?

XRP is the native token of the decentralized blockchain XRPLedger. The token is used by Ripple Labs to facilitate transactions on the XRPLedger, helping financial institutions transfer value in a borderless manner. XRP therefore facilitates trustless and instant payments on the XRPLedger chain, helping financial firms save on the cost of transacting worldwide.

What is XRPL?

XRPLedger is based on a distributed ledger technology and the blockchain using XRP to power transactions. The ledger is different from other blockchains as it has a built-in inflammatory protocol that helps fight spam and distributed denial-of-service (DDOS) attacks. The XRPL is maintained by a peer-to-peer network known as the global XRP Ledger community.

What blockchain technology does XRP use?

XRP uses the interledger standard. This is a blockchain protocol that aids payments across different networks. For instance, XRP’s blockchain can connect the ledgers of two or more banks. This effectively removes intermediaries and the need for centralization in the system. XRP acts as the native token of the XRPLedger blockchain engineered by Jed McCaleb, Arthur Britto and David Schwartz.
