XRP has rallied almost 40% in the past four weeks, outperforming other top digital assets, including bitcoin, driven mainly by retail investors, according to analysis by Kaiko, a Paris-based provider of crypto data. Trading volumes in XRP-Korean won (KRW) trading pairs on South Korean exchanges Upbit, Bithumb and Korbit soared last month, accounting for a giant share of the global activity. XRP has been rallying on hopes that Ripple Labs, which the US argues issued the token, will win its legal battle against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The cryptocurrency changed hands near $0.52 at press time, having hit a high of $0.58 on March 29.
