XRP on-chain activity signals incoming price rally as holders await SEC vs. Ripple verdict

• XRP’s network activity spiked over the past week, a sign of an upcoming price  rally. 
• If history repeats itself, XRP price could jump between 10 and 40%.
• Ripple’s chief legal officer sees benefits from the SEC lawsuit and remains optimistic over a win against the regulator.

XRP has registered a surge in on-chain activity over the past week, according to data from crypto intelligence tracker Santiment. Typically, a spike in transactions have acted as a precursor of a price rally in the altcoin. This was observed on three occasions recently, making it more likely that XRP price breaks into a rally soon.
