Ripple’s XRP has been one of the most versatile assets in the cryptocurrency market. While the network has pushed to highlight its utility, the price of the asset failed to make it big for years. This was due to the numerous legal trials that it faced for years by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The mere hope of Ripple walking out of this chaos boosted the price of the altcoin. As the community steps into the second quarter of the year, XRP investors are eager to witness the asset’s rise or fall during April.
