Since the election, Ripple has been making progress, but its journey is far from typical. As the SEC v. Ripple case continues, it presents both challenges and opportunities, particularly for the broader cryptocurrency market.
Ripple has been at the center of attention due to its ongoing legal battle with the SEC. The SEC’s pursuit of Ripple has raised questions about the regulatory treatment of other cryptocurrencies, especially altcoins. While Ripple has borne the brunt of the SEC’s crackdown, its potential victory could set a precedent for other tokens. However, the excitement surrounding Ripple’s legal progress hasn’t fully extended to other altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
John Deaton, a pro-XRP lawyer and founder of CryptoLaw, explains how the SEC has dramatically shifted its approach in recent years. The agency has dropped major cases, including against Coinbase and Kraken, and concluded investigations into many crypto companies such as Gemini and Robinhood. This shift indicates a willingness to ease its stance on the crypto industry, suggesting a more lenient regulatory environment moving forward. However, Ripple’s case remains unresolved due to the complexity of prior judicial rulings.
Despite the lingering uncertainty, there is optimism that the SEC and Ripple are nearing a resolution. As the industry awaits clarity, Deaton points out that a favorable outcome for Ripple could lead to a more level playing field for innovation in the crypto space. Although many are impatient about price action and wondering why altcoins haven’t surged like expected, the legal progress signals a bullish time for the industry as a whole.
While altcoin prices may not have moved as anticipated, experts believe that the resolution of Ripple’s case could open the door for broader market growth. Deaton remains positive, saying that the current environment could be one of the most bullish in crypto’s history.
XRP is in consolidation; it’s not a strong buy yet. Traders should watch for breakouts above key resistance levels before entering.
The case is expected to conclude on April 16, if Ripple wins against the SEC, XRP could reach $10 or higher. A prolonged case might keep prices around $5.81 in 2025 before further growth.
