This great achievement is a historic milestone and can be attributed to the growth potential and versatility of the XRP token. XRP has maintained its position as a high-flier, with a year-to-date performance that is far from the negative it is presently experiencing. The litigation between Ripple Labs Inc and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) exemplifies this negativity.
The possible bullish trigger for XRP
Just like every cryptocurrency, for XRP to experience a bullish trigger, it will have to display a form of attraction to investors amid its several challenges including its tussle with the SEC.
Such attractions will be activated in XRP Ledger’s targeted capabilities, as well as other fundamental products that use the XRP coin as assets to fuel their operations. A significant decoupling action will also be required to lessen the link between XRP and Bitcoin. This decoupling will act as the ultimate catalyst that will be able to steer XRP’s growth track through several depressions.
