2 Big Possibilities for XRP After Ripple vs SEC Lawsuit Ends

The long-running legal fight between Ripple and the SEC is finally over. After the official announcement from the Ripple CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, that both sides have decided to drop their appeals, putting a full stop to one of crypto’s biggest legal battles for good. 

For XRP holders, this brings relief and fresh hope — but also raises a big question: What’s next for XRP’s price?

Let’s break it down.

2 Big Possibilities for XRP Now

XRP Price Stays the Same

The first possibility is that XRP’s price does not really move much from here. As of now, it is trading around $2.17, reflecting a slight drop wth a market cap hitting $128.5 billion. 

Many traders believe the end of the lawsuit was already “priced in.” This means that investors had expected Ripple to win for a while, so the current price already reflects that hope.

If no fresh news comes soon, XRP might just stay flat, moving only with the bigger crypto market for now.

Ripple Goes All In With Big Moves

The second possibility is far more exciting. With no lawsuit slowing them down, Ripple might go all out. Many in the XRP community believe Ripple could now announce big partnerships, sign new global deals, or roll out new services to boost adoption. 

This could give XRP a strong push up, as more companies and banks feel safe to use Ripple’s tech again. To make this happen, Ripple Labs has already partnered with Wormhole, a platform that helps different blockchains connect and work together.

On the other hand, some supporters even think Ripple should run a strong marketing campaign, showing the world they’re not done yet.

XRP To BE In U.S Crypto Reserve

Apart from this, there is growing excitement around adding XRP as a strategic reserve, alongside Bitcoin. Now that Ripple’s legal fight with the SEC is over, nothing is stopping XRP from being included in this group.

For now, all eyes are on Ripple’s next move.
