A German financial news program recently featured a discussion on XRP, drawing attention from the crypto community for its bullish outlook following Ripple’s legal resolution with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The segment, shared by crypto analyst Xaif (@Xaif_Crypto), highlighted both short-term and long-term price targets for XRP, fueled by the final closure of a legal dispute that lasted over five years.

Ripple vs. SEC: Legal Case Concludes

The SEC and Ripple have withdrawn their appeals in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, marking the end of the case. With no further legal proceedings pending, a major uncertainty hanging over XRP has been removed.

During the litigation, Ripple signed over 1,700 non-disclosure agreements with companies and governments worldwide. Analysts suggest this could lead to more public partnerships or trials involving Ripple’s technology and the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

Regulatory Clarity Opens ETF Opportunities

One key implication of the settlement is the potential for a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the U.S. Analysts noted that ETF approval was unlikely while the legal dispute was ongoing. With the case resolved, major firms like BlackRock may consider ETF filings, potentially driving institutional accumulation and market interest in XRP.

XRP Price Targets: Short-Term and Long-Term

Analysts shared the following projections:

Short-term: $7–$8, with potential to reach $13 if momentum remains strong.

Long-term: $50–$100, depending on adoption, utility growth, and broader market trends.

They emphasized that XRP often follows general crypto market movements, meaning gains in Bitcoin and Ethereum could boost XRP investor interest. They also cited XRP’s previous 300% rally in three weeks as an example of potential rapid price surges.

Utility and Adoption Over Speculation

The discussion concluded that XRP’s long-term success will rely on real-world utility rather than speculative trading. With the legal uncertainties resolved, the focus is now on:

Institutional adoption

Conversion of existing agreements into active partnerships

Growth in global utility of the XRP Ledger

Analysts believe these factors will determine whether XRP can reach its higher price targets and potentially r
