Ripple v. SEC lawsuit about to sunset, crypto lawyer says it portends well for XRP
Yesterday, Bill Morgan, crypto lawyer and well-known XRP supporter, took to Twitter to post a photo of a sunset he had taken. After looking at it later in the day, Morgan wrote, he saw a sign behind the photo — the sun is setting on the Ripple-SEC case, and in his opinion, it could be "a good portent for XRP." The lawyer then added that he later found out the SEC filed a lawsuit against Binance, adding that the Hinman emails will soon be released. "Lucky I'm not superstitious," Morgan concluded. The Binance v. SEC news spread like wildfire within the crypto community, with many of its members, including Binance CEO CZ, calling it an attack on the industry. Morgan agreed, commenting on his post: "It is indeed another step in the SEC's attack on the industry and way past time to unite."
Shiba Inu bulls buy back 2.5 trillion SHIB as price loses 10%
Data provided by crypto intelligence portal IntoTheBlock shows that after the recent plunge of the SHIB token's price, Shiba Inu bulls made an outstanding buyback, purchasing 2.49 trillion SHIB. In comparison, the number of Shiba Inu tokens sold by major investors during the price drop comprised 2.58 trillion tokens. The buyback occurred amid the market turbulence caused by the news surrounding Binance and the SEC, leading to a 10% collapse in SHIB's price.

The price of the Shiba Inu token immediately rebounded from its multi-month low thanks to a tremendous upsurge in buying activity. SHIB is currently trading at $0.000007888, per CoinMarketCap.
