<p>The price of XRP has shown notable resilience amid a volatile crypto market, maintaining a critical support level of around $0.50. This level holds significant importance, acting as a barrier against further decline in XRP’s value.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite bearish market conditions, XRP has <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">surged by 6.1%</a>, driven by substantial buying activity from derivatives traders ahead of Ripple’s impending reply to the SEC’s opposition.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-sec-opposes-ripple-s-motion">SEC Opposes Ripple’s Motion</h2>
<p>In Ripple’s legal dispute with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a pivotal moment has emerged as the SEC opposes Ripple’s <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-update-legal-analysts-predict-outcome-of-expert-witness-motion/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">motion to strike Andrea Fox’s declaration</a> (Fox Declaration).&nbsp;</p>
<p>The SEC argues that the Fox Declaration presents summary evidence rather than an expert report;&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 <p><em>“It’s not an expert report, does not rely on specialized experience, and does not render any opinions at all, let alone an “expert” one. Nor does it present the testimony of a percipient witness. Rather, it applies basic arithmetic to Ripple’s financial records to streamline the presentation of the evidence to Judge Torres… The court should deny Ripple’s motion,</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Meanwhile, Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan has criticized the SEC’s position, suggesting it is insufficient to justify substantial penalties or disgorgement.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ripple-s-deadline-2-may">Ripple’s Deadline: 2 May!!!</h2>
<p>However, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-how-sarah-netburns-nomination-could-shape-the-outcome/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Judge Sarah Netburn has issued</a> a scheduling order regarding Ripple Labs’ motion to strike new expert materials submitted by the SEC, which seeks remedies and final judgment totaling nearly $2 billion in penalties.</p>
<p>Ripple is expected to file its reply within three business days following the SEC’s opposition on April 29. On the other hand, <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/ripple-vs-sec-lawsuit-update-heres-what-to-expect-next-week/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ripple is expected to request</a> Judge Netburn to strike the Fox Declaration because of its late submission.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite the SEC’s denial, Ripple’s legal team remains resolute in challenging the substance and relevance of the Fox Declaration, particularly regarding alleged financial harm suffered by institutional buyers.</p>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-upcoming-sec-response">Upcoming SEC Response</h3>
<p>Perhaps, the SEC is set to file a reply on May 6 to Ripple’s claim that the total penalties, considering <a href="https://coinpedia.org/news/crypto-liquidations-surge-to-273-million-as-altcoin-rally-obliterates-short-positions/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Torres’ ruling on XRP</a> institutional sales, do not exceed $10 million. This development adds another layer of anticipation and uncertainty to the legal proceedings.</p>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="xrp-price-action">XRP Price Action</h2>
<p>As of now, XRP’s price surged over 6.1% in the past 24 hours, currently trading <a href="https://markets.coinpedia.org/xrp/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">above $0.512</a> with a market cap of $28.4 Billion.&nbsp;</p>
<p>During the market sell-off, XRP has seen considerable buying interest after Ripple’s move to lock 800 million XRP in escrow, reducing circulating supply in three separate allocations: <a href="https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1785818178297192856" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">100 million</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/whale_alert/status/1785818725867778138" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">200 million</a>, and 500 million.</p>
