What will happen to XRP price when Trump comes? What is expected if it is understood with the new SEC?
If Ripple achieves a positive outcome in its ongoing legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and analysts predict a significant rally, a renewed hope for XRP in the new year is brought.
The lawsuit initiated by the SEC in December 2020 and lasting lawsuit accused Ripple of violating securities laws by selling XRP to institutional investors. While Judge Analisa Torres ruled last year that XRP was not a security, the SEC appealed the decision, leaving the case in limbo.
Carlos Guzman, a research analyst at GSR, said that a positive decision could serve as a significant catalyst for XRP's price. Guzman said, 'If the SEC appeal is rejected or the new SEC administration prefers settlement instead, it will be a big win for Ripple.'
The cryptocurrency industry is hopeful for regulatory relief under President-elect Donald Trump's new administration. Trump, who will take office on January 20, signaled a crypto-friendly stance by nominating crypto ally Paul Atkins for the SEC chairmanship. Many believe this could lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for Ripple and other digital assets.
Guzman added, "If the new SEC leadership prefers a compromise, it could lead to the rise of XRP."
A positive legal outcome for Ripple could position XRP among a select group of digital assets suitable for exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Bloomberg ETF expert Eric Balchunas predicts an increase in new crypto ETFs under the new administration, citing the record success of spot Bitcoin ETFs as a benchmark.
Balchunas said, “XRP should be among the first to receive approval,” but warned that even with a positive legal outcome, crypto ETFs still face long approval processes.
Beyond its legal challenges, Ripple is looking to a promising future with the increasing adoption of its new stablecoin RLUSD. The company aims to strengthen the narrative of XRP as a legitimate payment solution, which Guzman believes can further enhance XRP's position.
In addition, the revival of individual interest during the recent crypto rally has reignited investor enthusiasm for XRP. Guzman said, "Considering the revived individual interest in XRP that we saw in November and December, these positive developments could catalyze another wave of investor interest."
