Data show that crypto whales are currently trooping into the XRP network, which can be attributed to investors’ optimism in the ongoing lawsuit between Ripple, the San Francisco-based cross-border payment firm, and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
The long-standing lawsuit is expected to end in the first quarter of this year as previously predicted. And there is a high hope within the XRP camp that it could end in Ripple’s favor, which would significantly aid the growth of XRP price in the market.
