• Ripple’s SEC victory boosts XRP’s potential, with analysts forecasting it could hit $10 by 2030.
• XRP’s future growth is fueled by regulatory clarity, whale accumulation, and Ripple’s strategic moves, including a potential IPO.

XRP is gaining bullish momentum following Ripple Labs’ legal victory over the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC’s decision to drop its long-standing lawsuit has sparked investor optimism and speculation about XRP’s future price potential. 

Analysts are now forecasting a possible surge to $10 by 2030, driven by regulatory clarity and Ripple’s strategic developments. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, also hinted at the possibility of an IPO, further adding fuel to the bullish sentiment surrounding XRP.

The SEC Lawsuit Resolution Fuels XRP Optimism

Ripple’s recent legal triumph over the SEC has provided a significant boost to XRP’s price prospects. The SEC had been embroiled in a legal battle with Ripple Labs, accusing the company of conducting an unregistered securities offering through the sale of XRP. The resolution of this case has removed a key uncertainty surrounding the token, allowing investors to focus on its growth potential.

Analysts now predict XRP could reach as high as $10 by 2030. Factors contributing to this bullish outlook include Ripple’s upcoming RLUSD stablecoin, the growing speculation around a potential IPO, and Ripple’s increasing adoption within the payment industry. With regulatory clarity becoming more apparent, XRP’s price is expected to rise as Ripple continues to expand its global presence.

Bitget’s Ryan Lee highlighted the current trading range for XRP between $2.35 and $2.55, suggesting that a breakout from this range could trigger substantial price movements. Lee noted that short-term price targets could range from $2.00-$2.17 on the downside to $2.65-$3.00 on the upside. Long-term projections suggest XRP could climb to $4.20-$10+ by 2030, contingent on Ripple’s success with payment adoption.

Potential ETF and IPO Push XRP’s Long-Term Outlook

Ripple’s potential approval for an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) and the company’s IPO discussions are major factors influencing investor sentiment. XRP’s legal victory has increased optimism that Ripple might soon receive the regulatory green light for an ETF, allowing institutional investors to gain exposure to the token.

As reported by ETHNews, ETF filings from Bitwise and Franklin Templeton are still under review, and market participants are closely awaiting a regulatory green light to determine XRP’s next major move. The odds of a potential XRP ETF approval by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have surged to 87% on Polymarket, marking the highest point on record. 

Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, confirmed that an IPO is a “possible” outcome, further sparking bullish sentiment. While technical indicators like the neutral RSI and bearish MACD suggest potential short-term consolidation, the long-term outlook for XRP remains strong. The market is watching Ripple’s upcoming initiatives, including the RLUSD stablecoin launch, which could push XRP’s adoption and drive its price higher.

On-Chain Activity and Whale Accumulation

Ripple’s legal win has already had a noticeable impact on XRP’s on-chain activity. Data from Santiment shows a 400% increase in daily active addresses since the SEC dropped its appeal. This surge suggests renewed participation from both retail and institutional investors. 

Whale wallets, in particular, have been active, with large holders increasing their XRP holdings. Over 5.81 billion XRP, worth approximately $14 billion, has been accumulated by wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP.

Despite short-term uncertainty in the market, growing accumulation points to increasing confidence in XRP’s future. Analyst Ito Shimotsuma highlighted on X that the XRP/BTC pair has faced repeated rejection at resistance levels but believes only a spot ETF approval will trigger a decisive breakout.

It’s one of the best long-term-looking charts right now.

According to our recent analysis, XRP is currently testing support levels between $2.30-$2.35, with a breakout above $2.60 resistance potentially targeting $3.20. The neutral RSI and MACD suggest a period of consolidation before the next major price move. The resolution of the SEC case has increased institutional adoption of XRP, though short-term price movement remains influenced by FOMC decisions and its correlation with Bitcoin (-0.32).
