Pseudonymous crypto analyst and trader “Crypto Michael” (@MichaelXBT on Twitter) has recently been pretty bullish on XRP.

Here is what he has been saying in the past 24 hours:

Earlier today, Ripple’s Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty explained why, with the most recent ruling in the SEC’s ongoing lawsuit against Ripple, he feels more confident than ever about Ripple’s chances of winning:

“Specifically – not only is the SEC’s expert on “reasonable expectations of an XRP purchaser” struck from the record, but so is their expert who tried to say what “caused” the price of XRP to change. On the flip side – our experts explain how Ripple’s contracts clearly differ from those in ‘Howey,’ tax treatment of XRP (not a security), accounting treatment of XRP (not a security), and currency experts on XRP (not a security) are all allowed to stay in. As we have said throughout, we have always felt confident about our case and with each ruling, even more so.“
