Ripple (XRP) is undoubtedly one of the leading cryptocurrency tokens to exist in the market today. The token has long been touted as a crypto best suited for institutional usage, soaring past obstacles that tried to limit its pace. XRP was always different from its peers, as the token’s primary target was never retail, but it was directed towards dominating the world’s cross-border transactions domain. Here’s how Ripple is bound to go bigger one way or the other. Also Read: What Does It Take for Ripple (XRP) to Reach $5?

Ripple’s long legal clash with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially come to a close with the two parties filing a joint dismissal.  However, while the legal saga may be over, speculation about the future of Ripple and XRP is not losing any steam. BlackRock appears to be in the centre of everyone’s attention as the market debates whether the world’s largest asset manager is going to file for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). Is a new XPR ETF coming? A number of analysts are already optimistic about potential ETF filings on BlackRock’s part.  For instance, Nate Geraci, president of The ETF Store , thinks this is an ideal moment for the fund to diversify its crypto holdings beyond Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH).  “Yes, I think BlackRock was waiting to see this before filing for iShares XRP ETF… I’ll own it if I’m wrong. IMO, makes *zero* sense for them to ignore crypto assets beyond btc & eth. Otherwise, th...

When a complaint from an XRP token holder gained over half a million impressions on X, Ripple co-founder David Schwartz was forced to explain why Ripple’s blockchain, despite over 300 bank partnerships built over 13 years, doesn’t process billions of dollars worth of daily on-chain volume. Schwartz launched the XRP Ledger with Arthur Britto on June 2, 2012. Unlike Bitcoin, whose founder Satoshi Nakamoto intended to disintermediate banks, Ripple has remained focused on banks for years. On social media, XRP communities track and celebrate bank integrations and how the XRP Ledger can facilitate settlements between trusted intermediaries. Not only that, Ripple has issued hundreds of press statements about banking integrations, and Schwartz appeared to agree with an estimate that the company has established at least 300 banking partnerships . Which is why it’s odd that so few banks actually transact on the XRP Ledger. In his X posts, Schwartz explained that f...

The Ripple v. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case has been going on for over four and a half years now.  Today, however, could prove pivotal, as June 16 marks the deadline for the SEC to submit a status update to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, disclosing whether a settlement has been reached or if the appeal proceedings are set to continue.  On June 12, the two parties filed a revised joint motion with a Manhattan federal court to release the $125 million civil penalty held in escrow. Both sides cited past legal precedents to support their position and renewed their request for the judge to provide an indicative ruling. If Judge Analisa Torres approves the new motion, both parties are expected to drop their appeals and potentially clear the way for a full resolution.  XRP price analysis XRP gained 1.18% on June 15 as excitement before the deadline grew. At press time, the token is trading at $2.27, up 4.79% as ant...

Lawyer Bill Morgan has called out what he described as the biggest lie regarding XRP’s lack of perceived legal clarity.  Morgan, a supporter of Ripple and XRP, was responding to an X user on June 1 who argued that XRP has no legal standing, lacks major institutional support, and plays no role in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). He firmly rejected that claim, citing Judge Analisa Torres’s July 2023 ruling, which determined that XRP, as a digital asset, is not inherently a security. This is a lie. XRP has been found by a judge not itself to be a security. The SEC Appeal did not challenge that finding. To say XRP has no legal clarity is the biggest lie I have seen in crypto this year. https://t.co/6x1AycUxja — bill morgan (@Belisarius2020) June 1, 2025 The ruling made a clear distinction: while Ripple’s institutional sales were deemed securities transactions, programmatic sales on exchanges were not. Although the SEC appeale...

Summary ⚈ XRP’s 235% market cap surge since mid-2023 stems largely from Ripple’s court victories against the SEC. ⚈ Post-election optimism under President Trump and anticipation of a spot XRP ETF have added fuel to XRP’s recent breakout above $2. ⚈ A proposed May 2025 settlement could officially end the years-long legal battle and open the door to institutional inflows. Since its first major legal victory in the Ripple v. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) case, XRP’s market cap has more than tripled, driven by optimism around the legal clarity and broader bullish sentiment in the crypto space. On July 13, 2023, District Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not a security when sold to retail investors on public exchanges.  This landmark decision marked a turning point not just for Ripple but for the entire cryptocurrency industry, which had closely followed the SEC’s lawsuit since it began in December 2020. Following that ruling, XRP’s market perf...

The cryptocurrency market was hit with a notable downturn Wednesday as US President Donald Trump announced a host of new tariffs. One token that could be immensely affected is Ripple, as experts predict XRP could fall 68% amid a bearish outlook derived from the market’s ‘Liberation Day’ drop. The increasingly concerning macroeconomic outlook for April has sent several cryptocurrencies into a tailspin. Indeed, even Bitcoin has dropped more than 1.2%, with the asset looking to stay above the $81,000 mark.

Ripple (XRP) is currently on a warpath. With its recent inclusion in Trump’s strategic crypto reserve, XRP has documented a new high in the process, surging to sit at $2.54 at press time. However, XRP has many more critical price levels to ace for now, with developments in queue that could support its meteoric price hike.

It has been a tough week for the cryptocurrency market as a host of assets have been on the decline. After reaching a landmark price of $110,000 in January, Bitcoin fell to the $84,000 mark before the week was through. Although Ripple has been in the same boat, falling 30%, there may be a path for XRP to surge toward the $3 mark. There is no denying that XRP had tremendous expectations entering 2025. With the US President bringing forth an overhauled US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Ripple was poised to see its years-long legal battle with the agency come to an end.
