$XRP is much stronger fundamentally now, thanks to regulatory clarity and ETF optimism.
Binance (and other exchanges) could benefit from increased XRP trading activity if institutional flows pick up.
However, significant risk remains, especially if the ETF wave disappoints or macro sentiment turns.
Bullish: If $XRP breaks through $2.50–$2.60 with strong ETF confirmation and institutional inflows → potential move toward $5–$8 (some analysts even eye $6+).
Bearish: A drop below $2.00 or ETF delays could push XRP lower, possibly retesting ~$1.80–$1.90 or weaker, depending on market strength.
Base Case: Consolidation around $2.00–$2.60 while ETF and institutional narratives play out.
Ripple settled with the U.S. SEC in 2025, agreeing to pay a $125 million fine, which ends one of the biggest crypto legal battles.
This resolution gives $XRP a clearer regulatory position, reducing a major overhang that previously limited institutional trust.
