XRP Price Prediction as SEC Drops Ripple’s ‘Bad Actor’ Tag

Ripple has secured yet another victory in its nearly five-year legal fight with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Both parties have officially filed to dismiss their appeals, bringing the long-running court saga to an end. Shortly after, the SEC granted Ripple a waiver from its “Bad Actor” disqualification, a restriction that had limited the company’s ability to raise capital. This means Ripple can now legally conduct exempt securities offerings and attract investors without added regulatory barriers.

What the Waiver Means for Ripple

While Judge Torres has not lifted the permanent injunction itself, the SEC’s decision effectively removes one of the heaviest legal weights on Ripple’s shoulders.

The company now has a much clearer path for expansion, partnerships, and fundraising, something that had been complicated by the lawsuit for years. This waiver is being viewed as the next best thing to a complete legal clean slate, and it sends a strong signal to the market about Ripple’s regulatory standing.

XRP Price Reaction and Market Mood

XRP’s price has shown mixed intraday movement but remains more than 15 percent higher over the past week. Experts are eyeing the $3.35 to $3.40 range as a test level. A confirmed close above $3.40 could pave the way for a run toward its all-time highs, with $3.55 as the previous candle close peak and $3.65 as the wick high. 

However, there is also some warning signs in the market, with technical indicators hinting a bearish divergence on the weekly chart, a pattern that can sometimes signal a pullback if momentum fades.

Outlook for the Weeks Ahead

In the short term, XRP remains in a relief rally, fueled by excitement over Ripple’s legal clarity. If Bitcoin’s dominance in the market continues to ease, altcoins like XRP could see further upside. Even so, analysts warn that a period of consolidation is possible before any sustained breakout.
