XRP Price Prediction: Could the SEC Lawsuit Finally Turn in Ripple’s Favor?

XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency with a market cap of $182.85 billion, surged 13.3% over the past week. The token held its ground above $3, resisting seller attempts to push prices into the $2 range. Analysts suggest that the potential approval of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) and a favorable outcome in the SEC lawsuit could drive XRP to new all-time highs.

John Deaton, a pro-Ripple lawyer, predicts the SEC is on shaky grounds in its case against Ripple. Speaking in an episode with the Good Morning Crypto Show, Deaton highlighted Judge Analisa Torres’ earlier ruling that XRP is not a security when sold to retail investors. He argued that the SEC’s lack of logical grounding could lead to another defeat.

With Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair, analysts are optimistic about a peaceful resolution. Atkins has previously criticized the agency’s regulatory overreach, fueling hopes that his leadership could create a more collaborative environment for Ripple.
