Ripple Vs. SEC Lawsuit Ends: Will The XRP Price Cross $3 Once More?
The long-running legal battle between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple finally concluded following Judge Analisa Torres judgment on August 7. With the lawsuit out of the way, crypto analyst CrediBULL Crypto predicts that the XRP price could soon surpass its all-time high (ATH).
XRP Price Is Set For A Mega Run To New ATH
CrediBULL Crypto mentioned in an X (formerly Twitter) post that the stage is set for an inevitable mega run for XRP. The analyst added that XRP hitting a new ATH is a matter of when and not if. XRPs current ATH stands at $3.84, meaning the crypto token could rise above this price level soon.
Before now, crypto analysts like RLinda had highlighted the conclusion of the case between the SEC and Ripple as one of the catalysts that could spark a massive rally for XRP. She asserted that this event would give XRP a second life to achieve a successful breakout above critical resistance levels.
Crypto analyst JackTheRippler predicted that XRP would rise to as high as $100 once the case between the SEC and Rippled ended. Crypto analyst Common Sense Crypto also alluded to the lawsuit while outlining why XRP can reach $100. The analyst suggested that the conclusion of the case will lead to the launch of a Spot XRP ETF, which can spark such a parabolic rally for XRP.
This lawsuit began in December 2020 and is believed to have hindered XRPs growth, especially during the 2021 bull run when the crypto token failed to record significant gains or even close to breaking its ATH. However, that looks set to change as Judge Torres judgment has ended the lawsuit, at least for now, with an appeal still a possibility.
Judge Torres declared a $125 million penalty against Ripple for violating securities laws and an injunction against future violations. However, the $125 million is way below the almost $2 billion fine the SEC initially proposed. The court also ruled that the SEC cannot bar Ripples On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales.
XRP Is Just Getting Started
Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto stated that XRPs current rally following the courts ruling is just getting started while urging market participants to get ready for the real fun. Whatever happens, XRP holders will hope that the excitement about the end of the lawsuit can help send XRP above $1 in the short term.
Such a move will undoubtedly boost the confidence of these investors that XRP can reach the projected heights that these analysts say it will attain. It is worth mentioning that XRP failed to break the $1 resistance when Judge Torres declared last year that the crypto token wasnt a security. As such, XRPs price action will be one to watch.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at around $0.60, up over 18% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
