XRP's circulating market capitalization and price both decreased by over 10% in Q2, but its year-to-date market cap remained up due to a rise in Q1. The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit had an impact on XRP's price, with a revenue spike occurring in June. XRPL's network activity metrics declined in Q2, but the NFT ecosystem saw growth.

Messari, an on-chain analytics firm, has released a Q2 report highlighting the growth of XRP and XRPL. XRP's circulating market cap has increased by 42.5% YTD, mostly due to its price spike in Q1. The recent price movements of XRP have been influenced by news surrounding the SEC's ongoing lawsuit with Ripple. 

XRP, the cryptocurrency tied to the XRP Ledger, has recovered from earlier lows but faces challenges as it falls below a crucial uptrend line. Pessimistic price predictions suggest a potential retest of the 200-Day Moving Average, but some anticipate a positive outcome if Ripple prevails in its SEC lawsuit, making XRP one of the top-performing cryptocurrencies in 2023.

Ripple's University Blockchain Research Initiative (UBRI) has supported blockchain and crypto research at universities worldwide for five years, committing $50 million and providing XRPL Grants for research in XRP Ledger. With over 50 university partnerships across six continents, including top blockchain programs, the XRP token holder community anticipates a Summary Judgement in Ripple's lawsuit against the SEC by the end of 2023.

According to attorney John Deaton, XRP holders may receive more money from the SEC fund than from the civil case against Ripple. Deaton explained that if Ripple loses to the SEC, XRP holders will not receive any compensation for years, and only if Ripple loses on appeal will they be able to collect money through the civil lawsuit.

The price of Ripple (XRP) has remained relatively stable between $0.46 and $0.48 over the past two weeks. However, on-chain data reveals that large XRP investors, known as whales, have been adding to their holdings, potentially offering bullish support.

A US District Court has granted class status to investors in a securities lawsuit against cryptocurrency company Ripple Labs Inc. The lawsuit alleges that Ripple Labs sold XRP, a virtual token, to retail investors in violation of federal and state securities laws. The court certified two classes for federal and California state securities claims, limited to US-based investors who purchased XRP between July 3, 2017 and June 30, 2023. The ruling emphasizes the predominance of common questions and shared merit of claims within the class, and the case will proceed collectively.

The daily burn rate of XRP, a popular cryptocurrency, has increased significantly, leading to speculation about a potential bull rally. Crypto analyst 24HRSCRYPTO has made an optimistic prediction that XRP, currently trading below $1, could reach $100 and has provided reasons for this.

Crypto broker Uphold has released data on its reserves, revealing holdings of $1.056 billion worth of XRP. This has drawn attention from the XRP community and digital asset enthusiast John Deaton. XRP accounts for 28.5% of transactions on the Uphold platform, with XRP assets making up 59% of all assets. Uphold's report also shows that its coverage surpasses liabilities, standing at 101.3%.

Cardano's ascending triangle chart pattern suggests a potential upward breakout, indicating bullish implications and attracting investor attention. The pattern forms when an asset's price creates higher lows and hits the same resistance level multiple times, signaling a battle between buyers and sellers. Despite positive on-chain metrics and bullish chart patterns, Cardano still has a long way to go to reach the scale of larger networks like Ethereum.
