Ripple had previously sought legal advice from an unnamed global law firm in 2012 when considering launching a new digital currency. Ripple has also received two documents from the law firm examining the legal concerns that may arise from this implementation.
The legal statements contained in the two memos must be unsealed and released by February 17, according to Torres.
In an emailed statement, Stuart Alderoty, Ripple’s General Counsel, said that if the documents are released, they “will show that Ripple received a legal analysis in 2012 that XRP was not the main contract” investment or stocks”.

On February 8th, XRP surpassed the 50-day MA at $0.75 and hit a high of $0.91. The previous resistance has now turned into support with $0.96 and $1 as the next key levels to watch.
