These strong fundamentals made XRP able to survive even though it got a lawsuit from the SEC at that time, but admit it or not, when the SEC sued Riplle and it had quite an impact on the price of XRP in the market but fortunately at that time XRP was able to survive because it did have strong fundamentals in the market and also supported by a large community so that the price drop that occurred on XRP didn't last long enough.
Don't get me wrong, because after the lawsuit, all cryptocurrencies are already in a bull market trend so it can help XRP to rise again in the market, which some people think that XRP has solved their problems with the SEC, even though only market influence makes XRP able go back up at that time
