Bill Morgan Defends

Attorney Morgan indicated that the X user Scam Detective seems obsessed with XRP. He acknowledged XRP’s poor performance, confirming that the token ranks as the worst-performing coin among the top 10 cryptocurrencies over the past year.
The lawyer claimed that XRP’s underperformance arose from the legal brawl between the U.S. SEC and Ripple, which has been going on for 4 years, negatively affecting its price.
XRP Still Under Top 10
He also stressed the point that despite its underperformance, the asset has still maintained its foot among the top 10 biggest cryptos by market cap.
“It is also still in the top 10 and still subject to legal proceedings that have been on foot for 4 years. The fact is the market still associates XRP with Ripple and Ripple is still embroiled at the heart of the SEC’s unholy war against crypto,” which is having a bearish impact on its price according to him.
XRP is currently the seventh-biggest cryptocurrency with a market cap of over $30 billion. While it briefly lost this rank to Dogecoin yesterday, but immediately reclaimed it. It is currently trading at $0.5448, up by over 2.4% in the last 24 hours.
XRP community members are eagerly anticipating that a new SEC under Trump might settle the Ripple vs SEC case. However, if the settlement gets delayed further, then the lawsuit might linger until 2026, which would impact XRP’s performance negatively.
