XRP holders win right to sue Ripple, legal experts reveal implications
On June 30, Judge Hamilton of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California certified the XRP investor class to proceed with its lawsuit against Ripple, CEO Brad Garlinghouse and subsidiary XRP II. The recent move by the court is a continuation of developments in the Zakinov v. Ripple Labs case, which centers on allegations that Ripple conducted a scheme to raise hundreds of millions of dollars by selling XRP to retail investors. The company had challenged the certification. However, the court decided that the class met the four requirements for certification, reports Bloomberg Law.

XRP price could see new all-time high if it prints another golden cross
In a recent tweet, cryptocurrency influencer CoinsKid wrote that XRP could potentially reach a new all-time high if it repeats a "golden cross" pattern. The last time XRP printed a 10 and 20 Exponential Moving Average (EMA) "golden cross" was in 2017. Back then, the token's price surged by over 720%. XRP is currently trading at $0.46 per token, and in case a similar rally occurs, the asset would achieve a new all-time high, surpassing its previous peak. This potential pattern is not the only bullish sign for XRP, as Ripple is still engaged in a legal battle with the SEC. If the company wins, the price of XRP might skyrocket. With the possible golden cross in sight and a potentially positive outcome in the SEC lawsuit, XRP's price could surge to previously unexplored heights.
