The resolution of the legal dispute between the SEC and Ripple over XRP has led to a significant increase in the token's price. In one day, $XRP rose by 12%, reaching $3.34, which is related to the announcement of an agreement between the parties to refrain from appeals and the conclusion of the case. This has been an important victory for Ripple, which previously faced accusations from the SEC for selling unregistered securities. The growing interest in XRP has manifested in an increase in trading volume from $4 billion to $10 billion and a 20% rise in open interest, as well as an increase in the number of large holders. Despite the positive news, XRP has not yet reached its historical high of $3.84, recorded in 2018. Analysts at Standard Chartered Bank forecast a price increase to $5.5 this year and to $12.5 by 2028, considering the role of XRP in cross-border payments and the rapidly growing segments of use.
