#XRPETF The price of XRP should be at $5.00 now. However, its price is currently less than half of that. The obvious reason for the low price of XRP is the retaliatory nature of the SEC case against Ripple Labs. The SEC has tied XRP in a legal lawsuit, which has hindered growth. This is evident from how XRP surged right after Trump was elected and the SEC had to face the consequences.
