Former Lawyer Reveals Why XRP Price Hasn’t Rebounded
BeInCrypto – Scott Chamberlain, a former US attorney and co-founder of EvernodeXRPL, thinks the main obstacle preventing the XRP price from recovering is the SEC’s statement that it is a security token.
“If they say XRP is an investment contract, then all the problems won’t happen,” Chamberlain said.
The only lawsuit that prevented XRP price from recovering
In a recent Twitter post, Chamberlain opined that XRP’s price repression was not due to “The U.S. Office’s allegations that it sold more than $1 billion in assets in 2013” but simply because of “saying it was securities.” It does not have much effect on price pressure.
“I think the main difference is that the SEC alleges that XRP is a security, so the entire network suffers from this uncertainty. If they say that XRP is part of an investment contract there will be no problem And the price of the asset will recover normally. In addition, the case would have been settled a long time ago.”
