This development has occurred as Ripple is facing a critical support level at $0.53. Indeed, the price of the asset has been on an overall downturn since February 20th.

In early December of last year, the asset was trading at a high of $0.7 and has only been going down since then. Moreover, the short-term outlook sees it face a $0.579 barrier, which would signal a potential price correction. Currently, the asset is trading at $0.536 and down more than 1.6% over the last 24 hours, according to CoinMarketcap.
