$XRP As of Sunday, April 27, 2025, XRP is currently trading around $2.18. Technical analysis suggests a potential short-term target of $2.50 if bullish momentum continues, with resistance levels around $2.49, $3.00, and $3.39. However, failure to hold above the $2.00 mark could lead to a pullback towards $1.85-$1.72.

In a significant development, the long-standing lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC saw the SEC dropping its appeal in March 2025. While Ripple claims the appeal and cross-appeal are settled, the SEC indicates the matter is still under appeal, causing some confusion.

Despite this, Ripple is actively working on enhancing the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to attract banks and financial institutions. Key upgrades expected in 2025 include institutional lending features, Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, and multi-purpose tokenization for real-world assets. These developments, coupled with increased institutional interest following the SEC's dropped appeal, could positively influence XRP's price in the long term, with some analysts predicting a rise to $3.77 by the end of 2025 and even higher in the coming years.
