- Ripple’s native token became one of the biggest gainers after the US elections, but lost some steam in Q1, even though the company’s lawsuit against the SEC is seemingly over.<\/li>\n
- Although no one has actually declared it dead (at least not in the well-known public space), a social media influencer with over 500,000 followers on X explained why it could be just loading.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

<\/a><\/p>\nNot Dead, Just Loading<\/h2>\n
John Squire started<\/a> with a 10-year setup that investors might have ignored until now. Ever since the project’s establishment around a decade ago, the company behind it has made big moves to enhance adoption. Squire said RippleNet is used in over 55 countries, while some of its notable partners include SBI, Tranglo, and Santander.<\/p>\n
As such, he noted that XRP isn’t some “new hype coin. It’s been quietly building since before most influencers discovered Bitcoin.”<\/p>\n
He touched upon the prolonged battle between Ripple and the US securities regulator, which dragged on for over four years. Although the SEC has yet to confirm that the case is closed, Ripple’s CEO triumphantly announced<\/a> it in mid-March. Squire said, “XRP is the only top 10 coin to fight the US government and survive.”<\/p>\n
In terms of institutional adoption and the possibility of a spot Ripple ETF in the States, the social media influencer outlined the XRP futures product prepared to be launched by CME this month, as well as the 10 applications sitting on the SEC’s desk. Although the Commission delayed<\/a> making a decision on one of them earlier this week, many experts believe it’s just a matter of time before XRP follows the example set by ETH and BTC last year.<\/p>\n
