XRP Price is Marginally Low
From a prolonged lawsuit with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to the latest partnerships, XRP has gained immense popularity recently in the crypto industry. The regulator sued Ripple Labs back in December 2020, and since then the case has followed some dramatic flow.
However, despite the legal battle, XRP has been able to hold its ground in the crypto market. At the time of writing, the XRP price was hovering around $0.3906, indicating a drop of 0.75% over the past 24 hours. The one-day trading volume for the token is $1,369,894,845.
According to CoinMarketCap, XRP ranks in the 6th position in terms of market capitalization, which is currently at $19.83 billion.
