What a dilemma with XRP! While on one hand we're receiving super-positive news about this cryptocurrency, on the other, its price keeps dropping! In the last three days, XRP has dropped 6.5%, leaving many with their mouths open.
What's going on? Well, look, there are some incredible things coming for Ripple (the company behind XRP):
The XRPL EVM mainnet is launching soon (Q2 2025)! This means XRP technology will be compatible with Ethereum, a HUGE step forward for more people and projects to use it!
Circle (the creators of USDC, one of the largest stablecoins) just launched USDC directly on the XRP Ledger! This is like an institutional seal of approval that gives XRP more credibility and utility in the financial world.
And if that wasn't enough, more companies are accumulating XRP reserves!
So why is it falling? Here comes the drama! The eyes of the entire crypto world are on Monday, the deadline for Ripple and the SEC (the US financial regulator) to try to reach a settlement in their long and tiresome lawsuit. They already tried in May and failed. If they don't succeed now, the legal battle could drag on until 2026! And that, my friend, is what has XRP under pressure. It's as if the market is holding its breath waiting for that outcome.
Technical indicators are a bit mixed: some suggest XRP's momentum could be shifting for the better, but other signals still point to a bearish trend. For XRP to take off, it needs to overcome key resistance around $2.28.
So while Ripple is doing great things, the shadow of the SEC lawsuit is what's keeping XRP from flying. Do you think Ripple and the SEC will finally reach an agreement on Monday and unleash the potential of$XRP
