XRP Price Rally is Expected as Active XRP Addresses See a Major Rise

XRP gearing for a price hike as multiple indicators move in a positive direction.

The Factors Influencing XRP’s Price

For an asset to gain value there are many factors that play a critical role. A few among them are changes in active blockchain addresses and  social media mention rate. In XRP’s case, however, the SEC lawsuit has been a major price driver over the past couple of years.

In December 2020 SEC had filed the lawsuit against Ripple, firm’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Co-Founder Chris Larsen. The lawsuit alleged that under the leadership of Garlinghouse and Larsen Ripple sold $1.3 billion worth of XRP tokens as securities, violating the securities law.

Right after the lawsuit was filed, XRP lost its value significantly. But as the litigation went forward, Ripple’s strong defence pushed SEC to the wall that resulted in a positive XRP price movement.

XRP Price Analysis:

Currently trading at $0.51, XRP is down 5.1% in the past 24-hours. This recent downfall is caused by the worsening global economic situation. Further, the coin has gained Value by 1% during the week and 10% 9ver the month.

Notably, XRP is expected to experience a price rally as active XRP addresses see an increase. While the active XRP addresses in mid-May were 976 they rose up to 2,600 on June 3. While this represents a significant increase, the number of active XRP addresses are still below the March 29th level of 3,360.
