XRP friendly Attorney Jeremy Hogan underlined a line in the transcript that stated, ” the purpose of the 2018 William Hinman speech was to provide guidance to the market’’ and said, “The SEC tried to have it both ways, and instead got it no ways’’

Additionally, Hogan replied to a Twitter user who had asked for a possible time for a decision on the Fair Notice defense, saying, “She’ll rule on it along with the summary judgment”. ”So that’s a December-March timeframe.’’

Cryptomarket Rebounds

At the time of publication, XRP was up 5.61% in the last 24 hours at $0.35. A third straight day of gains for Bitcoin (BTC) erased this week’s early losses. Today, the price of the largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, which was recently trading at about $21,192, increased slightly. Most alternative cryptocurrencies or ‘altcoins’ were also up.

According to a newsletter from Glassnode, the U.S. dollar index (DXY), a gauge of the dollar’s value in relation to a basket of international currencies, is getting close to records not reached since 2002.

The increase is caused by either the devaluation of other currencies like the euro, which recently hit a 20-year low of $1.0002 against the dollar or the growing demand for fixed-income assets denominated in USD as the U.S. Federal Reserve raises interest rates.
