$XRP is back in the spotlight after a major update in Ripple’s ongoing legal case with the SEC. On May 16, 2025, a U.S. judge rejected a $50 million settlement deal. This caused XRP to drop more than 6%, falling to around $2.37.
In my opinion, while this news has created short-term fear, it could actually be a good opportunity for long-term investors. If Ripple wins the case later this year, we might see $XRP bounce back strongly—maybe even pushing past $3.
Analysts are still hopeful. Some predict an average price of $2.15 for May 2025 and a high of around $2.72. If positive news comes by Q3 or Q4, XRP could finish the year near $2.07 or higher.
But honestly, the price movement will depend on how the case ends. Every time Ripple gets closer to legal clarity, the price reacts quickly. I believe once the lawsuit is over, $XRP could finally take off.
While XRP waits for legal clarity, some new coins like Dawgz AI are getting attention. They offer features like staking, AI tools, and have no legal issues. For people looking for faster returns, these newer tokens might be worth exploring.
Final Thoughts
To me, XRP still has solid potential in 2025, but it all depends on the court’s final decision. If you're a long-term believer, this might be a good time to hold or accumulate. But if you're looking for quick gains, exploring new projects like Dawgz AI could also be a smart move.
