As a seasoned crypto investor with over a decade of experience navigating the volatile waters of the digital currency market, I must say that XRP‘s recent surge has piqued my interest. The token’s meteoric rise, reminiscent of Tesla’s stock performance during the 2010s, is a sight to behold and an intriguing comparison given their stark differences.


TL;DR

    XRP has been on an uptrend recently, with analysts predicting a potential sharp rise, possibly reaching $0.66 soon.
    Volatility is expected due to the ongoing Ripple v. SEC case, with the agency’s decision on whether to appeal the ruling still pending.

‘I Think XRP is Ready’

Over the past fortnight, I’ve noticed a surge in Ripple’s XRP value, with its price climbing approximately 10%. Just a short while ago, it managed to break through the $0.60 mark, but it has since stabilized at around $0.58, as per the latest figures from CoinGecko.

Based on certain experts’ predictions, XRP could soon capture attention with an astonishing surge. For instance, a well-known XRP user named Bitlord anticipates that the token might undergo a “sharp and rapid increase” or “steep upward trajectory” in the coming hours.

The level of criticism towards XRP is astounding, yet interestingly enough, when I previously mentioned Ripple, its value increased by a few billion. It even peaked afterwards. I’d be intrigued to see another such surge.

The Great Mattsby contributed too, finding similarities between XRP’s late performance and Tesla’s (TSLA) performance during the 2010s. During that decade, the valuation of the stock skyrocketed from less than $2 to as high as $30. The EV giant continued its uptrend in the following years, and currently, TSLA shares are worth nearly $240. This is an interesting comparison, to say the least, given that both assets have literally nothing in common. 

In a recent statement, Dark Defender suggested that XRP might surge towards $0.66, stating, “The resistance from January 2018 will be broken above $1.03; this is significant and intriguing.” The trader went on to say so.

Volatility Ahead Based on the Ripple v. SEC Case?

In the coming weeks, the value of XRP could experience fluctuations as a result of possible advancements in the legal dispute between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), which might impact its price movement.

As a researcher, I’m sharing an update regarding the ongoing legal saga. Judge Torres has recently concluded the final chapter in this battle, ruling that Ripple’s sales of XRP on secondary markets to individual investors were not considered securities transactions. However, it’s important to note that she imposed a $125 million fine on Ripple for violating certain laws in the process.

The reduction in the requested amount by the regulator amounts to a 94% decrease. Consequently, it seems extremely improbable that Ripple will file an appeal. Additionally, CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CLO Stuart Alderoty stated that the company intends to abide by the court’s ruling.

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) could challenge the decision. As of now, the deadline for any action is set for October 7th, but the SEC has yet to reveal if they intend to proceed along this path.
