XRP exudes positivity
Despite $9.7 million flowing out of digital asset investment products last week, according to a CoinShares report released on Monday, investors put $3 million into XRP. Only authorized investors, who must meet certain income standards per the SEC, are permitted access to these products.
CoinShares gives a probable reason for this: "The improving clarity on its legal case with the SEC can be seen as increasingly favorable for XRP by the investment community."
As stated in a new year Insights report, Ripple General Counsel Stu Alderoty predicts that the judge's ruling in Ripple's ongoing case with the SEC will come in the first half of 2023, and that it will be in Ripple's favor. He thinks this will be the catalyst required to propel the U.S. cryptocurrency industry ahead and prevent companies from offshoring their crypto operations.
Per the report, the entire Ripple team is optimistic that the crypto winter will give rise to a crypto spring — and that 2022 will be remembered as a turning point for the industry as real-world utility emerges.
