Recently, the activity of XRP whales was quite high. It intensified earlier this week when Ripple bragged about the recent victory in court against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Federal judge ruled that the $2 billion amount of fines and penalties demanded by the SEC regulator from Ripple was to be reduced to $125 million. Even though it was much more than Ripple suggested paying initially ($10 million), still it was a 94% reduction of the massive fine demanded by the SEC.
This legal victory of the blockchain behemoth from San Francisco pushed the XRP coin 25% up and helped it advance from the top seventh position to the sixth one on the CoinMarketCap scale.
