XRP Has Many Fans
Following Judge Torres’ announcement on Thursday, the Coinbase crypto exchanged celebrated Ripple’s triumph by tweeting: “W.W for @ripple. W for the industry. W for the builders. W for a clear rulebook. W for updating the system.”
Coinbase also witnessed a spike in its own stock value reaching over $100 per share as hopes were revived in its own case against the SEC.

XRP spiked to over $0.88 per token, its best price since March 2022. At the time of writing on 17 July, XRP hovered at around $0.74. However, investors are now optimistic about the future of the token.
Now that XRP has been cleared to trade as a commodity, investors are starting to see the future potential of the token. As part of Coinbase’s celebration, the exchange also announced that “XRP is now open for trading.”
