Despite the high volatility in Bitcoin (BTC) price, the XRP price is yet to show similar signs in the current market cycle that is dominated by the prospects of the likelihood of a spot Bitcoin ETF approval in the United States. Compared to the nearly 13% jump in BTC price over the last 30 days, the <a href="https://coingape.com/price/xrp/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP price</a> saw just under 1% growth during the same period.

Crypto analyst and influencer Lark Davis said XRP has potential to perform well in the market cycle despite competition from other coins. He said the speed and accessibility of transactions through <a href="https://coingape.com/glossary/stable-coins/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stablecoins</a> and other altcoins could threaten XRP token’s relevance in the current market cycle. However, he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTLKtec--D0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> that Ripple Labs is capable of introducing new features and partnerships to make the token competitive. Davis agreed that the token has the potential to perform well in near future given that it has the Ripple lawsuit victory on its side alongside continuing to maintain a market cap within the top 10 cryptocurrencies despite the legal trouble from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) since December 2020. 
Earlier, CoinGape <a href="https://coingape.com/central-bank-of-ireland-registers-ripple-as-crypto-service-provider/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that the Central Bank of Ireland (CBI) added Ripple to its list of registered Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). With this, the company would be able to provide a range of digital asset services in the country.

Ripple, its executive chairman Chris Larsen and chief executive officer Brad Garlinghouse feature among the largest XRP holders by percentage, CoinGape <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-rich-list-2023-who-are-the-top-10-largest-xrp-holders/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Interestingly, both Larsen and Garlinghouse got the relief from SEC lawsuit when the agency in October 2023 withdrew the charges it levied on them as part of the original lawsuit. 
The lawsuit charged Ripple, Larsen and Garlinghouse with raising more than $1.3 billion through an unregistered, ongoing digital asset securities offering. In the Summary Judgment delivered in July 2023, judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP was not a security when sold to retail buyers, whereas the part pertaining to sale of XRP for institutional investors is still pending before the Court.
