Investor uncertainty surrounding XRP has resurfaced as the token’s value decreases by 4% since August 9. The uncertainty stems from the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to appeal Ripple’s legal victory, suggesting that the legal battle between the two entities may continue. Meanwhile, the anticipation and excitement around the new XRP20 token are growing, with the project’s presale approaching the $2 million milestone.
XRP experienced a significant reversal in price until Wednesday morning, with a surge of 11% following weeks of decline. However, the price turned back and fell 4% to $0.632, where it currently trades. This turnaround coincides with XRP’s price reaching the 20-day Exponential Moving Average (EMA), indicating it may act as a minor resistance level. The price is currently hovering just above the 50-day EMA, trapped in a range between the two indicators. The decreasing trading volume and declining interest suggest that speculative crypto investors are exploring other options due to ongoing regulatory uncertainty.
The uncertainty surrounding XRP arises from the SEC’s appeal of a ruling in the long-running lawsuit against Ripple Labs. In July, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not a security for retail trader offerings, providing Ripple with a partial victory. However, the SEC’s appeal reintroduces uncertainty and dampens investor enthusiasm and demand for XRP. Despite this, pro-Ripple attorney John Deaton expressed confidence that the initial decision will not be overturned on appeal. Nevertheless, the lingering uncertainty presents short-term challenges for XRP, despite the presence of long-term optimism within the investor base. Amidst this uncertainty, the XRP20 token is gaining traction and generating excitement. With over $1.9 million raised in its presale, XRP20 aims to tap into crypto investor nostalgia and offers a “second chance” for those who missed out on XRP’s previous bull run. The token’s low price and a clean audit conducted by 0xGuard provide reassurances to early investors regarding its safety. As the presale approaches its hard cap, several crypto influencers are taking notice, adding to the momentum of XRP20. Its open market debut is eagerly anticipated by traders.
