As the global crypto market registered a slight recovery on Thursday, the XRP token also gained some momentum. However, the token’s growth has been hindered due to the ongoing SEC Vs Ripple lawsuit.

XPR’s price jumped by 3% in the last 24 hours. It is trading at an average price of $0.33, at the press time. However, it is trading down by 91% from its all time high of $3.84. Ripple’s native token 24 hour trading volume stands at 1.07 billion.

On the legal side, the Ripple case is a little bit stuck over the revelation of the crucial Hinman documents. Soon the lawsuit will be entering its summary judgment phase.
