SEC vs. Ripple case heads to the end of discovery
2021’s biggest theme was the Securities Exchange Commission (SEC) vs. Ripple case. As the end of the discovery period approaches, experts believe that Ripple is poised to win the case that could draw to a close by April 2022.
The XRP Army, a community of supporters of the Ripple network, is rallying in support of Attorney John Deaton, criticizing the SEC’s stance on the payment giant’s sale of the altcoin. Deaton is a key figure opposing the SEC’s lawsuit.
The SEC’s case against Ripple has negatively impacted the altcoin’s price. Ripple price recovered from the drop at several points in 2021. Ripple labs continued to grow its ecosystem and revealed that 2021 was one of the best years for the payments giant.
Analysts have evaluated Ripple price trends and noted a triangular pattern. In 2021, Ripple price recovered from the price drop through a spike in demand and investor interest. Proponents believe that the altcoin is ready for a 33% price rally to hit the $1 target.
