Despite its bullish price action, XRP has seen its daily trading volume stagnate for the past week, with around $2 billion in XRP changing hands each day on public exchanges.

This positive price action comes despite accusations being made against Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, in a lawsuit, of promoting XRP while liquidating his own stash of coins.

Although much of the cryptocurrency market is in the green today, XRP is outperforming all other cryptocurrencies in the top 10 by market capitalization. However, the cryptocurrency is still down in the short-to-medium term, and has lost 28.4% of its value in the last month as a result of the recent Coronavirus pandemic.
