Additionally, long-term partners like Uphold have continued rolling out new schemes to incentivize members of the XRP community.
After coming out strong as the subject of the lawsuit between Ripple Labs and the U.S. SEC, experts have projected that XRP is still grossly underpriced when compared to other top altcoins with similar age and general market depth.
