Why Has the Asset Struggled to Gain Momentum?
One of the most significant barriers to XRP’s price was Ripple’s lawsuit with the US SEC. The financial watchdog accused the fintech company of selling unregistered securities in December 2020.
The lawsuit presented substantial hurdles to the asset even during the 2021 bull run when other major cryptocurrencies were hitting new all-time highs.
Recently, the lawsuit was settled in the US High Court, and Ripple was asked to pay a fine to the financial regulator. XRP’s price witnessed a brief rally, which has since cooled down.
