The XRP price has dropped by 3% in the past 24 hours, falling to $0.367287 as the market reels from concerns over the financial health of Silvergate Bank. Its current level means that it has declined by over 5% in a week and by nearly 10% in the last 30 days, although it remains 8% up since the beginning of the year.

As noted above, Ripple's Brad Garlinghouse has once again reiterated that he expects his firm's case with the SEC end this year, with the CEO also saying that the case's outcome is "going to be pivotal for the whole industry."
Assuming a positive result for Ripple, one in which it's enabled to continue its
