XRP’s legal victory against the SEC boosts investor confidence and signals a shift toward mainstream crypto acceptance.
Analysts predict a longer, more gradual crypto cycle with institutional ETFs driving major altcoin growth over the next 12–24 months.
XRP’s legal status is slowly getting less complex. Backed by strong community support, its steady price action shows growing confidence among investors. People who once doubted XRP are now flipping their views.
Altcoin Daily’s Changed Tune On XRP
At the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Las Vegas, the Altcoin Daily team said, “The XRP community and we have had our fights, but the month they officially won against the SEC, I changed my tune.”
“It’s an American company, and one of the few coins cleared by the SEC. I think Brad Garlinghouse is in the trenches politically, getting it done,” they added.
This shows how the legal victory isn’t just a win for XRP but a game-changer for the entire crypto space, which could lead to more mainstream acceptance.
Not The Classic 4-year Crypto Cycle
They also discussed altcoin season, saying it’ll be different this time because we’re now in an institutional era for crypto. They believe major altcoins will get their ETFs, and once Ethereum ETFs start supporting staking, it could bring serious institutional demand for altcoins.
The Shifting Dynamics
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe also said that this cycle is completely different than the classic 4-year crypto cycle. With bigger players, more liquidity, and different risk dynamics now in the market, we’re shifting to a longer, more gradual cycle.
Bitcoin may keep grinding to higher levels over time, which would lead to extended periods of momentum in the altcoin market too. Altcoins are at their lowest point, and Bitcoin pairs have already taken a big hit. So the next 12–24 months could be an easy run for crypto, he says.
The next big move up will be a wake-up call for retail investors, and many altcoins could 2–4x, which would spark fresh hype.
