<h3 id="xrp-price">XRP Price</h3> 
<p><a href="https://coingape.com/markets/xrp-price-rally-cools-on-escalating-death-cross-risks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP price</a> traded at $0.6125 today, a remarkable 18.64% pump in the past 24 hours. The Ripple-backed asset’s 24-hour bottoms and tops were $0.4942 and $0.6408, respectively.</p> 
<p>With Judge Torres ruling that Ripple is “restrained and enjoined from violating Section 5 of the Securities Act,” the XRP community finally gets positive news.

<p>Also, the court ordered no disgorgement for Ripple, again posing as a setback for the SEC. Simultaneously, <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-lawsuit-ripple-can-sell-to-institutions-despite-recent-sec-ruling/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple’s ODL sales</a> won’t be subject to security laws following Torres’ ruling.</p>
