Ripple’s Winning In Court Correlates With 113% Recent Rally

Ripple’s winning in court correlated with a 113% rally for XRP with the bulls being on the coin’s side, helping it to break above $1 as we can see more in our latest Ripple news.

Things are going well for Ripple as rumors of an SEC settlement are growing bigger. Back in December, the commission sued Ripple and its two executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen with a lawsuit for an alleged illegal sale of an unregistered security. In the upcoming months, XRP’s price dropped as many exchanges delisted it and investors lost faith.

XRP soared 23% in 24h, and nearly 100% in the past 7d. It is surprising when the official sell-off and the SEC case is unclear.

Lawyer Steph Palley reported that Larsen and Garlinghouse scored a victory recently when Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn ruled that “discovery seeking 8 years of financial records along w/ subpoenas to 3d parties seeking same were too broad”. Palley classified the decision as an “Early win” by the defendants but it is still skeptical about an indication for resolution on the case as added:

“Winning a motion for a protective order on discovery doesn’t usually portend victory on the merits of the case itself. It depends. And the Court left open the possibility some of this could revisit later, if there are reasons to check veracity.”

On the other hand, Mike Novogratz of Galaxy Digital said that Ripple’s equity is trading at up to $3 billion in valuations while speculating that there’s a possibility XRP will rally due to rumors of a lawsuit settlement. Ripple’s winning in court, could lead XRP towards the $1 range or higher while the new SEC chair Gary Gensler is expected to be confirmed by the Senate along with his pro-crypto approach:

“Ripple equity is ‘trading’ in secondary market at $2-3bn valuation.  The $XRP on their balance sheet is worth approx $70bn. One price seems wrong. If XRP price is saying settlement coming, the equity is crazy cheap.   If not, the token seems expensive.   Thoughts?”

Commenting on Novogratz’s statements, Palley added:

“I don’t know how one can correlate price itself to settlement unless someone has inside information about potential SEC settlement/resolution and ability for exchanges to re-list for trading. Ripple has done better than I expected so far in preliminary motion practice and discovery fights, but there’s a long way from that to case resolution.”
