“Since last year’s landmark court ruling, which granted Ripple Labs a partial victory against the SEC, demand for XRP in US markets has grown steadily. The share of US platforms in global XRP volume has increased from less than 2% to 14% over the past year, matching levels from before the SEC suit,” wrote Kaiko Analytics.
They added, “The summary judgment stated that Ripple’s XRP sales through secondary trading platforms were not securities transactions, although direct sales to institutional investors were. Following the ruling, several US exchanges, including Coinbase and Gemini, relisted XRP, releasing pent-up demand from US traders. Ripple’s ongoing legal battle with the U.S. SEC continues to fuel XRP’s volatility.”
