Ripple News: XRP Price Risks Dropping to $0.17 Amid SEC Appeal

Published by

The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has created a mixed sentiment for XRP, and many investors are left wondering what it means for the future of this cryptocurrency. The SEC’s appeal in Ripple’s case could serve as a double-edged sword, potentially providing institutions with an opportunity to buy XRP at lower prices. 

Edo Farina, the CEO of Alpha Lions Academy, said that the SEC’s recent decision to appeal Ripple’s case is not necessarily a setback for XRP but rather an instrument that gives institutional investors more chances to acquire XRP at discounted prices. While the SEC lawsuit may create short-term noise, the long-term fundamentals of XRP remain strong.

Here’s the Impact of the SEC Appeal on XRP Price

Delay in Finality: The SEC’s appeal hints that we may face another extended period of uncertainty, possibly spanning two more years. This prolonged timeline allows institutions to strategically position themselves in the XRP market while retail investors may panic and sell.

Ongoing Accumulation: Institutions are likely accumulating XRP at lower prices, waiting for clarity and stability to push prices higher. Their strategy appears to involve buying while retail investors are fearful, thus taking advantage of market psychology.

Historical Context: When the SEC initially filed its lawsuit against Ripple, XRP’s price plummeted to around $0.17. During this downturn, while many retail investors sold at a loss due to fear, larger wallets were accumulating significant amounts of XRP. This dichotomy between retail and institutional behavior explains the manipulative dynamics in the market.

XRP’s Expanding Role: Despite the ongoing legal battle, XRP is gaining traction in the financial ecosystem. Various countries, particularly those in the BRICS and G7 groups, are increasingly adopting Ripple’s technology for CBDC (Central Bank Digital Currency) solutions. This suggests that, irrespective of the SEC’s actions, XRP’s utility continues to grow.
