Cryptocurrencies Price Prediction: Bitcoin, Cryptos & XRP – American Wrap 18 July

XRP update: To buy or not to buy XRPLedger’s native token after SEC vs Ripple ruling

The SEC vs Ripple ruling triggered a massive recovery in XRP market capitalization and price. The altcoin’s market cap is nearly $40 billion at the time of writing and the token is trading at $0.7394.
 
With XRP price soaring for the last few days, Ripple investors are having a field day as the altcoin has become a must-have for crypto investors. Consequently, the cryptocurrency has not only taken on, but also eclipsed top crypto assets to emerge as the most in-demand in some regions.

Bitcoin price has shown no signs of breaking out of its rangebound movement that has been ongoing for the 25th day. Ethereum (ETH) price continues to follow the big crypto’s footsteps, while Ripple (XRP) price continues to reel from the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit’s verdict which nearly caused the token’s value to double.
