At the time of writing, XRP, the seventh most valuable crypto traded at $0.793546 on the FTX exchange with a daily trading volume of $2.6 billion and is down 5.65% for the day.
Present price patterns on the FTX exchange revealed the fast-growing crypto-asset had lost about two-thirds of its value since touching its multi-year high in mid-April, with a number of leading crypto exchanges including Coinbase restricting the trading of the crypto asset class on account of the SEC v. Ripple lawsuit.
Ripple is still battling an ongoing legal tussle with the Securities and Exchange Commission, with its top executives charged for offering unregistered securities to investors.
The bone of contention is that the financial regulator termed the crypto asset, ‘security,’ and it also revealed it gave the fintech start-up a fair notice that selling XRP would be deemed a security offering.
