Opinion: XRP discussion ranks seventh, possibly affected by expectations of its legal case with the SEC
According to CryptoPotato, crypto market intelligence platform Santiment has listed the top 10 cryptocurrencies that have received the most attention this week. As expected, Bitcoin, the largest digital asset by market capitalization, topped the list. Interest around it is usually high due to the expected halving event in less than two weeks, but the current level is even higher. Santiment has noted Bitcoin's recent outstanding price performance, claiming that many traders are optimistic that "the market value will reach $80,000 after the halving to maintain mining profitability." Ethereum followed closely behind in second place. According to Santiment, the main discussions around the asset are related to its potential growth in the coming months, gas fees, and network congestion. Solana (SOL) also attracted a lot of attention, ranking in the top three. Ripple's XRP ranked seventh in the discussion. It surpassed Lido DAO (LDO), SafePal (SFP), and Tron (TRX), which were all at the bottom of the top 10. The interest surrounding XRP could be related to the upcoming lawsuit between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The two entities have been at loggerheads in a legal dispute for more than three years, with a massive trial scheduled for April 23. The outcome of the case could have a positive impact on the price of XRP (assuming Ripple secures a decisive victory, of course), while the opposite could have a negative impact on the crypto industry.
