Amid the rumors that Twitter, a social media giant, may adopt Ripple (XRP) for its payment interface after the acquisition of the former by the billionaire and business tycoon Elon Musk, the XRP returned to the bearish area. However, the investors are optimistic about XRP as they hope it will win the lawsuit against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
As the crypto market began the week with a sharp decline, XRP has not been the exception which dropped 6.59% in the last 24 hours. $0.47972051 is the 24 hours high of XRP, while its low is $0.42441308. After moving sideways during early trades, XRP price dropped back to its mid-October level, losing all the gains of last week.
