🚀 XRP Breaking Barriers: Regulatory Momentum Fuels Price Rally to $3.46

In a dramatic turn for the altcoin market, XRP has surged to around $3.46, driven by bullish sentiment, regulatory clarity, and long-awaited legal closure. Once considered stagnant during the last crypto wave, XRP is now emerging as one of the strongest contenders of this alt season.

🔍 What’s Fueling the Rally?

The price boost comes on the back of Ripple's decisive action — the company has officially paid the $125 million fine as part of its settlement with the U.S. SEC. Both Ripple and the SEC are preparing to withdraw appeals, signaling the end of a multi-year legal saga that has long suppressed XRP's market potential.

On the technical front, XRP recently touched an intraday high of $3.66, with strong support forming around $3.36. Bulls are eyeing a breakout past $3.75, which could pave the way toward $4.00 and higher if momentum continues.

🏛️ Regulatory Winds Turning Favorable

Beyond Ripple’s case, the broader crypto landscape is shifting. U.S. regulators are pushing forward with crypto-related legislation, including the GENIUS Act and potential crypto inclusion in retirement portfolios (401(k)s) — moves that have ignited optimism across altcoins.

Moreover, SEC officials clarified that recent ETF delays are procedural, not rejections, opening the door to future spot XRP ETFs — a narrative that could turbocharge retail and institutional interest.
