The price of XRP (XRP) is up today, rising nearly 4.5% in the last 24 hours to a three-week high of $0.65. In result, it has outperformed the broader crypto market, whose returns in the last 24 hours came to be about 1%.
XRP's price gains in the last 24 hours come amid anticipations about Ripple reducing its potential settlement costs in its pending lawsuit against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
Notably, the SEC and Ripple remain in a remedies-related discovery process over the latter's $770 million worth of XRP sales to institution investors. Ripple aims to reduce potential settlement costs by more than 50%, citing the Morrison vs. National Australia Bank case.
