Prediction: This Will Be the Next Big Move for Ripple's XRP
XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) was supposed to skyrocket in value as soon as Ripple (the company behind the XRP token) resolved its long-running court battle with the SEC. But that simply hasn't happened. The news of a big Ripple win broke on Aug. 7, and since then, the price of XRP has increased from $0.50 to $0.60. (Yawn.) For the year, XRP is still down 2%.
So there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical about XRP's prospects. Add in the fact that the crypto market recently witnessed a mini-crash, and it's easy to see why investors might be scared off speculative risk assets like XRP. That being said, there's a clear path to XRP doubling in price to $1 by 2025, and I think that will be the next big move for Ripple's XRP.
What's particularly perplexing about XRP's recent performance is that it doubled in value to the $1 mark last summer on similar news of a big legal win. Last July, the judge in the SEC court case ruled that XRP was a security when sold to institutional investors, but not a security when sold to retail investors. That might sound confusing, but the market took it as an unambiguous signal that Ripple was eventually going to triumph over the SEC.
