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. XRP’s 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 XRP’s 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 Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) sales. XRP Is Just Getting Started Crypto analyst Mikybull Crypto stated that XRP’s current rally following the court’s 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.

It is worth mentioning that XRP failed to break the $1 resistance when Judge Torres declared last year that the crypto token wasn’t a security. As such, XRP’s 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. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com

As the XRP lawsuit between Ripple Labs and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inches closer to a ruling on remedies – the final ruling on district court level – the crypto community is abuzz with speculation about the potential repercussions for the XRP price. Notably, Rachelle Renee, a popular crypto pundit, has voiced a dissenting perspective via X, arguing that the forthcoming Ripple-SEC ruling will not significantly impact the price of XRP, contrary to the expectations of many investors. How Will The XRP Price React? Renee’s analysis starts with a sobering view on the nature of the legal resolution itself, which will penalize Ripple. “It is simply the details on how Ripple will be punished for the few minor indiscretions committed,” Renee explained. She expressed skepticism about the potential for this legal closure to serve as a catalyst for a substantial price increase of XRP. According to Renee, the pivotal moment for a possible price surge was when regulatory clarity was initially provided by Judge Torres in July last year, a milestone that has already been passed without a long lasting effect. “The point at which clarity was decided would have been the time to see it move upward in a big way. It did not,” Renee stated. Related Reading: XRP Price Breaks Out Of 6-Year Triangle, But Is A Rally To $1 Possible? She further elucidated that institutional investors, who might be considered a primary driver for such a surge, only required confirmation that it was legally permissible to buy, hold, and utilize XRP. This clearance has already been granted. Therefore, the details of how Ripple might be reprimanded for early sales of XRP are unlikely to sway their investment strategies: “Institutions only needed to hear it was legal now to buy, hold and use. That happened. They do not need to hear or if #ripple will be punished for a few early sales of XRP.” Renee concluded, “I hate to be the one to say it. But I do not think the final Ripple/SEC/Torres event will do anything for the price of XRP. The institutions that might drive a significant price increase already know it’s legal to engage with XRP, and the specifics of Ripple’s punishment are unlikely to influence their decisions further.” She further conceded that while a minor uptick in the XRP price could occur following the resolution, she firmly believes that “this will not be the moon shot” many are hoping for. Instead, Renee suggested that significant market movements for XRP would more likely result from new developments that demonstrate XRP’s utility and adoption by major global players, such as banks and financial institutions. Related Reading: XRP Goes To All-Time High If This Resistance Breaks: Crypto Analyst Contrasting with Renee’s tempered expectations, Bas van Gestel, another voice from the XRP community, presented a more bullish outlook. Van Gestel argued that the end of the Ripple-SEC case would catalyze a major surge in XRP’s price due to enhanced regulatory clarity attracting more investors, institutional adoption by major banks, and global partnerships that would broaden the currency’s use cases. Responding to van Gestel’s optimism, Renee reiterated her point that much of what was anticipated to drive a price surge has already occurred, with regulatory clarity being established over a year ago. She posed critical questions about the timing of the institutional adoption and significant global announcements that van Gestel cited as catalysts, suggesting that while these developments are possible and could be impactful, they have yet to materialize in a way that affects the XRP price meaningfully. “Since regulatory clarity was provided over a year ago, why have we not seen big announcements. I am a believer these announcements will come. But not as part of the final Torres case close,” Renee claims. At press time, XRP traded at $0.5632.
