Xrp as a highly centralized coin has dropped significantly in terms of its price and with the developer/owner having a lawsuit it will be hard for investors to have confidence in the coin’s potentiality and this will go a long way to affect the Xrp performance in the market.
With this lawsuit, of course, XRP's reputation is difficult in the market, especially since many exchanges removed XRP in December, and I still remember that the price of XRP dropped by more than 28%.
Still the same sentiments with this lawsuit, with how the market is behaving its difficult for XRP to gain more investors.
There are many new competitors and traders loves to explore with new projects that have solid potentials, while XRP still working with this issue other competitors are establishing communities to support their project.
Good marketing strategy plus the achievements in case they win this case, all in the hands of the developers for now.
