Ripple’s native token XRP touched a new all-time high of $3.65 on Friday after seven and a half years. The previous ATH was at $3.40, which it reached in January 2018. The price decline was prolonged due to the SEC and Ripple lawsuit, which dragged on for years, affecting its price. Even after these many years, the purview of the legal eagle remains on the Ripple Foundation as the lawsuit continues.
Since 2018, XRP’s price climbed above $3 only once in January this year, ahead of Trump’s inauguration, failing to reclaim its all-time high. It hit $3.24 and dipped to the $2.90 and $1.90 range during the last six months. The leading altcoin picked up steam in the charts in July as Bitcoin hit a new all-time high of $122,838 on Monday. It pulled the broader cryptocurrency market along with it as leading altcoins printed new highs.
