XRP Price: 5 Key Reasons To Not Sell XRP Tokens
Although XRP price has shot up more than. 500% in 2024, its upside potential is not capped yet. Here are five key events that are yet to unfold that could have a massive positive impact ont the value of XRP and potentially catlayze another uptrend.
Trump Inauguration: Trump wining the US elections on November 5 was a key trigger that kickstart the crypto bull market. Some believe that Trump January 20, 2025 inauguration event could lead to an even bigger rally. The reason for this is the expectation of a more crypto-friendly regulatory environment that could benefit XRP and the broader crypto markets. Additionally, Trump’s pre-election statements on cryptocurrencies are positive. This could lead to help with XRP’s adoption and propel its price higher.
Gary Gensler is out of SEC: Gary Gensler, the SEC chairman filed the lawsuit on Ripple at the end of 2020 and a dozen other crypto-related suits, has been considered an enemy to the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Hence, the departure of Gary Gensler, a perceived crypto skeptic, from the SEC will reform the image of this regulatory body and lead to a shift in regulatory tone that favors cryptocurrencies. This development could be one key factor that boosts XRP price.
SEC Lawsuit Settlement: Although the long-running battle between the SEC and Ripple came to a conclusion, it isn’t settled yet. Hence, a firm settlement could bring much-needed clarity and certainty to XRP’s regulatory status, leading to a rally in Ripple price.
Alt Season Begins: As mentioned in previous CoinGape articles, an altcoin season could kickstart after the recent crash and extend all the way up to January 2025. Hence, capital rotation out of Bitcoin and into altcoins, including XRP, could see a huge uptrend.
XRP ETF is Approved: Bloomberg analysts have already suggested that the XRP and Solana ETF could be next. Considering that Bitcoin saw such a massive uptrend after spot ETF approval, XRP could mirror this trend considering the demand. Moreover, the approval of an XRP ETF would provide institutions and safe way to invest in XRP. Hence, this event could lead to massive rally for XRP price.

A buy signal would emerge if the quarterly candlestick manages to push its above the “the upper Band” and closer there.
