SEC Settlement with Ripple: Could This Spark a $10 Rally for XRP?

The post SEC Settlement with Ripple: Could This Spark a $10 Rally for XRP? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The Ripple vs. SEC case is getting more interesting, especially with the recent resignation of SEC chair Gary Gensler. Now, there are many possible outcomes, including a settlement or the case being dismissed. There are rumors that the SEC is planning an emergency meeting to discuss a settlement with Ripple, which could lead to the SEC lawsuit being fully resolved. While the focus is on the settlement, the real question is how this will impact the price of XRP.

XRP’s price is currently around $1.45, but we have seen it reach an all-time high of $3.84 previously.. That peak was driven by speculation, with little real-world adoption at the time. Now, XRP is positioned differently, with strong utility and adoption in areas like central bank payments and cross-border transactions.

Alpha Lions Academy CEO Edo Farina said that the end of the SEC lawsuit could mark one of the most major events in the crypto space from a legal standpoint. Unlike other coins, XRP now has regulatory clarity, which could trigger a major price surge. A conservative estimate suggests that XRP could spike above $10, a level that’s not even three times its previous all-time high.

The Impact of Settlement on XRP’s Price

When the SEC lawsuit ends, there’s a strong possibility that XRP could experience a sharp spike in price, potentially reaching or exceeding $10. However, once this happens, many short-term traders will likely sell their holdings to take profits, which could cause a temporary retracement in the price.

What Could Happen After the Price Spikes

After a potential spike, it’s likely that XRP might experience a pullback, possibly returning to the $6 range. This retracement could be around 30% from the peak, as traders sell off their XRP to capitalize on the sudden price increase.
