Ripple plays a legal masterstroke as it files for consolidating all its security-related lawsuits

The countdown begins for Bitcoin Cash Hard Fork.

XRP plays a legal master stroke- consolidates all security-related lawsuits

Well if experts are to be believed, Ripple’ XRP definitely has the potential to replace SWIFT and change the way money moves around the globe via banking channels. But what lies as a major hurdle for XRP’s adoption is its security status. Ripple currently has several lawsuits against it with the plaintiffs claiming that the XRP token is actually a security. If so, the company will likely need to pay dearly for not registering with the SEC before raising money from the public. To mitigate this risk and probably improve its chances of winning Ripple Labs has made a legal move and has the court to consolidate all its ongoing lawsuits into one manageable federal action. It would be interesting to see what the decision comes out to be while the coin is working hard to hold 50 cents per coin price. Though many of the popular cryptos have given back their gains from the early November rally, XRP is standing its ground quite well so far. Well technically too, if the famous Fibonacci Retracement Tool is applied to its price chart one can see that the 50% mark comes out to exactly $0.50 per coin

Read the complete report here.

Although the above-mentioned site shows volumes by country, it isn’t a pure indicator of adoption, since it only tracks trades made on the peer-to-peer site localbitcoins.com. However, if one looks at the various countries on the list, they will notice that all the Latin American countries listed are showing increasing volumes lately.

Volumes are on the rise in Mexico, Dominican Republic, and Argentina and are near their all-time highest levels in Colombia, Chile, Peru, and Venezuela.

As the economic cycle continues to slow and the United States continues to raise their interest rates, they put pressure on the emerging market economies, but as one can, people are getting smarter, the global economy is getting freer, and we now have the tools to protect ourselves from the poor monetary policy.
