XRP Ledger Wallets Record Activity Surge Amid Regulatory Uncertainties

Over the past four years, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple, the XRPL owners, have been engaging in court battles. While Ripple seems to have scored more victories over the SEC, both parties have failed to attain a common ground.

Recently, the SEC filed a court appeal challenging the verdicts that declared XRP a non-security asset. Additionally, the SEC appealed the ruling that cleared Ripple executives of the security assets sales charges levied against them. Interestingly, the regulatory agency requested a fresh review of the decision, eliciting more protracted court battle concerns among XRP holders.

In response to the SEC claims, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer (CLO) Stuart Alderoty revealed on X that Ripple anticipated the SEC’s latest move. Hence, the cross-border payment firm intends to file a Form C this week. Notedly, legal chief Jeremy Hogan waded into the discussion, tagging the SEC decision a “chicken move.”

Meanwhile, considering the legal dispute saga and the XRPL active wallet spike, one could assert that investors have placed potent faith in Ripple and its payment network. Therefore, the feat should be a positive price drive catalyst for XRP, Ripple’s native token.

Supply Shock Will Drive XRP’s Future Spike

In a tweet making rounds, Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, speculated that an XRP supply surge would orchestrate the token’s upcoming rally. According to Versan, a period is coming when the US dollar will disappoint failing institutions, hoping to secure liquidity.

Additionally, the Black Swan Capitalist founder noted that during such periods, XRP will come in handy to stabilize currencies, economies, and global debt. Consequently, the token demands will become necessary rather than speculative.
