XRP’s Road to $1.88 Imminent?

In a significant gust of recent developments, the Ripple vs SEC lawsuit has taken an exciting turn, favoring Ripple’s request to extend the deadline for remedies-related discovery requirements. U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres granted an order on Ripple’s motion for the same, aiding the digital payments network. Following this, the Ripple-backed token surged further, surpassing the $0.52 mark today, February 9.

Meanwhile, derivatives data showcased an upsurge of 4.09% in the token’s open interest, reaching $610.80 million, as per data by CoinGlass. This surge further mirrors XRP’s upswing today and also signals an uptrend.

Ripple’s recent relief witnessed in the lawsuit against the SEC, accompanied by the surge in open interest, appears to be additionally aiding XRP’s upward momentum. This coincides with the analyst’s prediction, potentially paving the way for $1.88.
