Ripple’s XRP has been the subject of a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It fell nearly 2% in the past 24 hours, taking a hit to the asset’s weekly record. At the time of writing, the altcoin was trading at $0.5442 after falling from a high of $0.5537.

Additionally, XRP trading volume decreased by 19.46% over the period to approximately $1.14 billion. This sharp decline in volume indicates that there is little trading activity and the market is experiencing negative sentiment.
This price drop occurs during large-scale transfers. According to Whale Alert, an XRP whale moved over 28 million tokens from a private wallet to crypto trading company Bitso. Based on the XRP price at the time of the transaction, the value of these tokens is expected to be approximately $15 million.
Nevertheless, it should be noted that October is a bullish month. As a result, the community expects Ripple’s XRP to rise in the coming weeks.
