XRP Skyrockets to 5-Month High Amid Positive Court Ruling and Bitcoin Mention.

Ripple defense lawyer John E Deaton is confident that the presiding judge will soon be announcing her ruling regarding whether the crypto firm broke the law by selling unregistered securities. Deaton has suggested that XRP could see a considerable price surge if the San Francisco-headquartered company prevails in court. XRP is trading hands at $0.52 at publication time, according to CoinGecko data. The token blew up 19.2% over the last seven days, while bitcoin has posted losses of 4.5% during the same timeframe.
