Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) saw a 3.88% price jump in the last seven days, trading at $0.39. The surge in demand was likely spurred by comments from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse on Wednesday after he declared that the Securities and Exchange Commission has “no infrastructure for a registered token to trade nor provided any clarity."
