The end of the SEC-Ripple lawsuit over XRP has led to a significant increase in the token price. Over the past 24 hours, $XRP has risen by 12%, reaching $3.34, which is associated with the announcement of the parties' agreement to abandon appeals and the end of the case. This was an important victory for Ripple, which previously faced accusations from the SEC of selling unregistered securities. The increase in interest in XRP was manifested in an increase in trading volume from $4 billion to $10 billion and a 20% increase in open interest, as well as an increase in the number of large holders. Despite the positive news, XRP has not yet reached its all-time high of $3.84 recorded in 2018. Analysts at Standard Chartered bank predict that the price will rise to $5.5 this year and to $12.5 by 2028, given XRP's role in cross-border payments and fast-growing use cases.
