The XRP community is hopeful about the ongoing lawsuit between the SEC and Ripple Labs after the recent decisions to drop cases against Coinbase and Robinhood

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has concluded its investigation into Robinhood Crypto without taking any enforcement action.

The ruling follows the agency’s May 2024 Wells Notice to Robinhood Crypto, which hinted at the potential for legal action. This development has wider ramifications for the industry and represents a significant shift in the regulatory position of companies involved in cryptocurrency.

XRP is still far below its all-time high of $3.84 set in 2018 and its January 16 peak of $3.4.

Cardano”s, Charles Hoskinson, said that “healing has begun” in the cryptocurrency industry in response to the SEC’s decision to drop the Coinbase lawsuit.

Members of the XRP community have also voiced optimism that the Ripple lawsuit will soon be resolved favorably, possibly establishing a standard for future regulatory clarity in the industry.

The SEC’s recent moves point to a more thorough review of its regulatory strategy regarding cryptocurrency platforms, which could spur more innovation and expansion in the sector.

The U. S. SEC has accepted filings for several XRP ETFs, including the Grayscale XRP ETF and potential offerings from CoinShares, Canary Capital, and WisdomTree. Reports on XRP’s possible inclusion in a U.S.  strategic reserve also excite the Ripple community

The SEC filed a lawsuit against Ripple in December 2020, claiming that the company sold XRP tokens in an unregistered securities offering.

In light of the SEC’s recent actions, there is increasing conjecture that the agency will reevaluate its stance in the Ripple case. Experts in the field speculate that these changes may result in a more advantageous regulatory landscape for companies dealing in digital assets.

BiIcoin maximalists have often targeted the Ripple-based token, discrediting the token by disseminating false information or half-truths. Davinci Jeremie, who contended that XRP tokens could be frozen, was one such instance. Community members, however, refuted the assertion and corrected the record.

The Ripple-based token is under increasing bearish pressure as it tries to hold its position above the $2.45 support level amid a weak risk appetite in the crypto market. Investors worry that XRP may decline to lower support levels because it has been trading below the 20-day EMA, indicating a bearish trend.

Market action shows that the altcoin ranged sideways this month, between the $2.3 support line and the $2.8 resistance line. A delicate balance between buyers and sellers is reflected in this stagnation, with pressure currently moving in favor of sellers as bearish indicators intensify.

The token is trading below its 20-day EMA, indicating a bearish sentiment. The 20-day EMA is an important point of resistance.   Although XRP has previously found support at $2.4, the token’s recent performance indicates that this level may be in jeopardy.

A possible outflow of capital from XRP is indicated by the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) indicator, which has gone negative and is currently at -0.04. This change suggests that traders are becoming less interested in buying, which could lead to further price declines shortly.

However, over 500 million XRP tokens were bought by Ripple Whales during a recent price decline, demonstrating the high interest in the cryptocurrency.

The SEC’s future strategy for handling cryptocurrency litigation has also come under scrutiny following the reassignment of Jorge Tenreiro, who was in charge of Ripple’s case. Ripple and Chainlink collaborated in DeFi to extend the use case of RLUSD within the ecosystem by integrating it with Ethereum-based decentralized finance applications.
