Decision on Ripple case may come by end of this month

As reported by U.Today earlier, the founder of Cryptolaw, John Deaton, shared that the ruling regarding the Ripple v. SEC case may well be issued by the end of March.

The reason here is that this case may be included in the list of cases pending for half a year or longer. Unless Judge Torres, who is leading the case of the SEC against Ripple;s Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen, issues a ruling on it, she will have to include this case on the aforementioned list. It will be then submitted to the U.S. Congress.

Ripple-affiliated XRP, the sixth-ranked digital currency by market capitalization, managed to reach a local high at $0.77915 and then demonstrated a drop to the $0.74024 level by now, losing roughly 5%. At the moment, it is up roughly 2%.

At press time, XRP is down 80.56% from its all-time high of $3.84, reached by the coin on January 4, 2018.

On April 14, 2021, the coin managed to soar to a high of $1.8392, which has not been regained since then.
