Even though SEC made a last effort to appeal about XRP as a security a few days ago, the coin is currently just $0.20 cents away from breaking it's ATH that was set back in 2018. It could reach $5 quickly once that is broken. I also think the new SEC chair will drop the appeal as part of the more crypto friendly environment promised during the campaign.
On TradingView, XRP price has set a new ATH and this has really excited investors, not just for XRP but also for many old coins in the market. They expect that LTC, EOS, NEO, XTZ, BCH will also have similar price increases ^^
XRP is perhaps an exception, because it is backed by Ripple, and Ripple has a lot of money, enough to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on the lawsuit with the SEC for many years. If investors love old coins, they should only choose top coins instead of forgotten old coins that do not receive any inflow.
