Their owners will receive roughly 0.5% of all conducted transactions.

Stuart Alderoty: Ripple vs. SEC case resolution likely to come in 2023

In his recent thread, Ripple Labs’ general counsel Stuart Alderoty explained why he believes that the SEC’s case against Ripple may be over next year. He pointed out the hard work of both Ripple and the court, which strive to bring the day of the resolution closer. However, the SEC is trying hard to delay the moment the legal case will come to an end. Alderoty also stated that the regulator never tried to shut down XRP trading in the US, but thanks to several crypto exchanges (Coinbase, Bittrex, etc) suspending it, the SEC achieved its goal. Ripple’s general counsel also drew attention to the fact of the crypto industry’s exodus in the US which was caused by the position the US authorities have taken against the crypto industry.

This, according to Santiment, is historically an MVRV level where ADA and many other altcoins see at least a short reversal in price to mitigate the losses mounting on networks.
