XRP records 1,500% volume spike, what's going on?
According to CoinMarketCap data, yesterday, XRP saw a sudden 1,500% surge in trading volume. However, this did not affect the token’s price anyway, which made the crypto community speculate. Higher trading volumes are mainly caused by increased volatility as seasoned traders buy and sell large amounts of crypto to capture profits. But this was not the case for XRP this time because the token has been consolidating in a range since Oct. 20. The most likely reason for the surge may have been investors wanting to buy XRP at its current range in anticipation of a major move in price. At the moment of writing, XRP is changing hands at $0.4878, up 7.2% over the past 24 hours.

Another Ripple ally wants to file amicus brief
Cryptillian Payment Systems, an online cryptocurrency service for retail customers and commercial retail businesses, has asked District Judge Analisa Torres to file an amicus brief in support of Ripple. According to the company, XRP is actually the second most popular option among its customers, and it has invested significant time and resources in order to integrate the token. Cryptillian emphasized that classifying XRP as an unregistered security would negatively affect the company's business, adding that many of its clients would unintentionally violate securities laws. If the court allows the company to submit its amicus brief, the SEC will have to respond to it by mid-November.
