While in an event held in Switzerland, Garlinghouse stated that they are in dialogues with SEC for a while now. He added that educating the regulators is a “really constructive process”. He went thus:
“We’ve been working closely with the SEC over the last year or so to think about which falls in what box because I think if I hear anything from market participants it’s that we need clarity. That without clarity it’s really difficult to figure out how these will eventually be regulated.”

Ripple Latest Update – XRP coin declined abruptly from $0.23 to $0.21 briefly after the bulls failed to protect the critical support level. Previously, XRP coin was ranging over $0.23 because of the failure of the bulls to endure above $0.25.
Currently, XRP coin has declined to $0.21 again because of a lack of buyers at the critical support level. It is unsure if the recent price decline has ended. The market is still trading on a downward trend. The XRP price decline might likely get to the low of $0.20 because the bears have broken below the exponential moving average.
XRP Price Prediction – Ripple XRP Price Prediction
Ripple News Update – Projections are that the XRP price will hold at the $0.20 support level. If this happens, the bulls will try to drive the XRP price over the EMAs because the market will continue to decline, once the XRP price is below the EMAs. However, if the $0.20 support level breaks, XRP price will decline to a low of $0.18.
