The XRP token is on a downward trend, trading at $0.5128 with a 2.42% drop. Rispoli argues that the SEC will need help proving recklessness in institutional sales. Rispoli believes that the SEC’s lawsuit is more of a tactic to pressure Ripple into a vulnerable settlement rather than a genuine legal concern.
