Quiet in SEC v. Ripple Puts Silicon Valley Bank and USD Cryptocurrency in the Spotlight
On Saturday, there was no activity. Investors weren't diverted from the new US financial problem and the USD Currency (USDC) de-peg by SEC v. Ripple case developments.
Investor expectations of a Ripple win in the continuing legal dispute between Ripple and the SEC had led to an optimistic first half of the week for XRP. Recent court decisions favored the Accused, and the Hinman Papers caused the SEC additional trouble.
Due to problems in the US financial sector and possible spillover effects to the cryptocurrency market, investors probably decided to secure in profits from the previous week while they awaited decisions regarding the Hinman Papers and Summary Judgment Reply Briefs.
Investor mood is still being put to the test by updates on SVB Financial Group (SIVB), and another crypto-negative development is the Dollar de-peg.
Price support was not offered by reports that Reaper Finance had converted its Dollar Currency assets into XRP. To guarantee security, it was important to choose XRP over other digital currencies when converting, though.
Investors' attention is still focused on the USD Coin de-peg and the Day Ahead Silicon Valley Bank advance of the Monday session. Considerations include contagion risks, the effect of a subsequent stablecoin decline on investor trust, and governmental monitoring.
Investors should nevertheless keep an eye on Binance and FTX news, legislative action and chitchat, and SEC v. Ripple case developments.
