The reasons for this uptick are linked to the potential Ripple Labs Inc. versus SEC lawsuit settlement or ruling. There are rumors of a closed-door meeting between the market regulator and the payments company. While earlier schedules for this settlement yielded no results, there are indications both parties may soon have the conversation anytime from now.

If the rumors prove to be true, XRP stands to gain a lot from any settlement. While the amount Ripple will pay for selling the coin to institutional investors may be fairly huge, closing the whole lawsuit will serve as a boost for XRP to soar in the near term.
