XRP is not the most popular crypto currently. Some problems with the SEC... However, I think you are aware this problem is mostly American.

Let's go back to some basics:

• The SEC has not defeated Ripple yet, since they have asked the SEC why ETH is not a security token as per the FOIA law. Decision awaited Feb. 15
• The US are a big market for cryptos, however there are many crypto holders outside the US, as you can see on the map below
• Japan, which is one of the largest crypto users in the world, is a big fan of XRP. The SBI bank has recently added XRP to their lending services
• ETH is closely correlated with BTC and with most of the other altcoins as well. XRP is one of the only cryptos which is following its own way
• As ETH has increased a lot recently, a correction is likely to happen. Therefore, having some XRP can balance the domino effect of ETH drop

Despite all the problems that Ripple and their token XRP have faced, XRP is back on track and could increase again towards $0.5.

Once it has passed this threshold, everything will be possible.

In the meantime, you may hold your XRP on Celsius to earn some rewards.
