However, a legal victory was achieved when US District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not a security. What’s ahead for XRP? 
The XRP Ledger will be utilized for issuing official Expo NFTs for attendees at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. Ripple obtained a full license to operate in Singapore, further solidifying its presence in the Asia-Pacific region since establishing its headquarters in Singapore in 2017.

XRP is trading at an average price of $0.485, at the press time. Its 24 hour trading volume is jumped by 80% to stand at $1.42 billion.
