As the SEC's appeal against Judge Analisa Torres' ruling looms, the XRP community is witnessing significant developments within the cryptocurrency's ecosystem. The number of XRP wallets holding over 100 million tokens has surged to 199, the highest level since May 13, and whale holdings have soared to $74 million, a three-month high. XRP's trade volume has also surged, making it the dominant force in the crypto market, surpassing Bitcoin and Ethereum.

Despite the appeal, XRP continues to attract massive growth and adoption, accounting for 21% of all crypto trade volume and 7.4% of all discussions among the top 100 market cap assets. However, XRP has lost a significant portion of its gains from the judge's ruling last week, currently sitting at $0.68, a 7.24% decline in the last seven days.

Pro-XRP attorney John Deaton reassured the community that the appeal process is likely to extend for at least two years and won't be a setback for XRP, but will offer ample time for holders to adapt to potential changes in the regulatory landscape.
