The XRP price has gained by 4% in the past 24 hours, with the coin's move to $0.748896 representing a 60% gain in the last seven days.
This market-trouncing surge follows Ripple's success in its long-running legal battle with the SEC, with the presiding judge issuing a ruling last week which sided with the cryptocurreny firm on a significant number of counts.
However, it's possible that some of XRP's momentum has been undercut a little in the past couple of days by talk of the SEC appealing the case's outcome, something which many experts believe the regulator will do.

We had been predicting that the altcoin would potentially rise to $1 in the weeks following a positive decision in Ripple's case, and such a forecast remains entirely credible.
As noted above, some observers have been bothered by the possibility of SEC of appealing aspects of Judge Analisa Torres' decision, including
