🔹 The biggest factor affecting the future of XRP:

The main point is the Ripple case against the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Since 2020 to today, Ripple has been facing a lawsuit because it sold XRP as an "unlicensed security."

There have been partial rulings in favor of Ripple, but it hasn't been fully resolved.

If the case ends in favor of Ripple, the price of XRP is likely to rise significantly as it will be able to trade more freely, especially in America.

If the ruling is completely against them, they could be severely harmed, but it is unlikely to be wiped out as it is also widespread outside of America.

🔹 The technology itself is strong

Ripple has partnerships with some banks and financial institutions.

The network is fast and very cheap for transfers compared to traditional SWIFT.

However, it faces competition from other projects (like Stellar — XLM) and developments in new blockchain networks.

🔹 The price

XRP is one of the currencies that generally moves with Bitcoin, but it is more affected by legal news than just technical analysis.

Most analysts believe that if the case is completely resolved in its favor, it could return to levels close to its previous all-time high ($3.8 in 2018).

If the case continues without clarity, the price remains volatile and under pressure.
