XRP's online community has turned surprisingly bullish after a judge blocked Ripple and the SEC's attempt to fast-track their settlement. The token's bullish-to-bearish comment ratio jumped to 2.1:1 - the highest we've seen in over two weeks.
XRP (Ripple) Bucks the Trend While Bitcoin and Ethereum Slide
Here's what's wild: while Bitcoin and Ethereum saw both their prices and social sentiment take a hit, XRP went the opposite direction. According to Santiment data, XRP's social channels are buzzing with the most positive chatter in over 17 days.
This all kicked off after U.S. District Judge Torres shot down a joint motion on June 26. Both Ripple and the SEC wanted to speed things up and wrap this whole mess with a $50 million deal. But the judge wasn't having it.
Torres was pretty blunt about it - she basically said the court won't just throw out previous rulings because both sides suddenly want to play nice. You need actual legal grounds for that kind of move. So now we're back to square one with the appeals dragging on.
XRP (Ripple) Community Stays Fired Up Despite Legal Limbo
What's really interesting is how the XRP crowd is handling this news. Most people would see a blocked settlement as bad news, but XRP supporters seem more pumped than ever. That 2.1:1 bullish ratio isn't just good - it's actually better than what we saw during more positive moments in this legal saga.
The whole thing puts the Ripple case back in limbo territory. Nobody knows how long this will drag on now, and usually that kind of uncertainty kills crypto sentiment. But XRP's community? They're not budging.
Whether this social media hype translates to actual price movement remains to be seen. But one thing's clear - the XRP faithful aren't letting a legal speedbump slow them down. They've been through years of this already, so maybe they're just used to the rollercoaster by now.
