XRP is a bad coin that's what you should learn from this situation. The SEC action should be a warning to investors.
Do you really understand what is the SEC issue exactly? It is not about the quality of the XRP token but another case. I don't think you can easily state XRP as a bad coin only from the current case of the lawsuit. If XRP is a bad coin, it won't survive a long time as the top 5 crypto coins in the world. People aren't stupid, they won't invest their money on bad coins. Please don't spread more FUDs! Just wait for the result of the SEC case. Be wise!!
aside from that, there are actually a lot of stakeholders in xrp. they forged a lot of partnerships already. look at japan, they keep supporting the xrp project. so if this is a shit coin, dont think many entities will continue trusting them.
xrp should resolve their sec prob as soon as possible. and yes being in the top 5 is a big deal. if youre a bad coin, you wont stay that long in that list.
people are still buying because they believe xrp team can get out of this mess. i think they will, unless one or majority of their key people will give up and sell his stake.
