Ripple SEC settlement

Ripple Finally Settles $50M With SEC as XRP Soars 8%; Is $3 the Next Milestone?

by

  • Ripple and the SEC have finally ended their legal battle with a $50 million settlement.
  • Following the settlement news, XRP broke above the key $2.17 resistance level, and analysts predict the token could reach $3 if momentum continues.

The Ripple and the US SEC war is finally over after years of legal battles, as the two parties have finally reached a settlement. Both sides have agreed that Ripple will pay $50 million to end the case about XRP sales.

This news brings relief to the XRP community and everyone who has been waiting for a final outcome.On Thursday, the SEC shared that Ripple will pay $50 million to end the case, which involved Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Chairman Chris Larsen. Earlier in March, Ripple mentioned this settlement deal after saying that the agency was pulling back.

Earlier, the SEC, under Gary Gensler, had asked for a $2 billion penalty.Last year as well, Judge Analisa Torres ordered a $125 million fine, but with this new deal, which is lower than the rest, $50 million will go to the SEC, and Ripple will get back over $75 million from escrow.

This agreement would cause an end to one of the major legal battles in crypto history. Experts believe this outcome may open doors for more use of digital assets in regular banking.

XRP Price Breakout Amid Ripple Settlement 

Since the break of the news, XRP has made a strong move upward, going past the $2.17 resistance point. This move suggests that buyers are active again. If the price stays above this level, there’s a possibility that it could return to its earlier range.

Analysts also say that if Bitcoin continues to stay strong and support continues, XRP might even move toward $2.40 or beyond in the near future. Some believe its price could even go above $3 soon. The coin’s rise after the recent news, along with steady technical signals, has brought fresh hope among traders and investors.

  • Legal clarity improves with Ripple-SEC settlement talks amid U.S. regulatory shake-up.
  • Technical and fundamental factors hint at a possible breakout if ETF speculation materializes.

Technical indicators show a split view. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) stands at 45.3, indicating neutral momentum, and the MACD is pointing mildly bearish at -1.8. XRP broke below the 20-day EMA of $2.10 on 15th April, falling to retest the $2 mark. Flat EMA and neutral RSI suggest a state of consolidation, and the XRP/USDT pair may be alternating between $2.00 and the 50-day SMA of $2.23.

Meanwhile, XRP’s current performance is a 158% rise from the $0.80 seen in April 2024 to the all-time high of $2.50 in December. The levels of support are still strong at $2.00, $1.80, and $1.50, while the resistance levels are established at $2.20, $2.50, and $3.00. A close above the 50-day SMA may see a rally kick in, while a fall below $2 may see a slide to $1.61.

2025 XRP Forecast: Neutral Sentiment and ROI

Cryptocurrency prediction platform Changelly has released its latest price forecast of XRP for April 2025, providing a cautious yet steady estimate. Under the prediction, the minimum price of trading XRP during the month may drop to $1.69, while the maximum may hit $2.05. The average trading price lingers around $1.87, as the market expresses moderate confidence in the face of wider uncertainty.

Changelly also offered a 2025 year-long prediction, proposing that the minimum price of XRP will stabilize at $1.85, with possible highs of $1.95. This would give a possible return on investment (ROI) of -6.3%, showing neutral to slightly bearish sentiment in the event of the lack of major drivers.

Ripple vs. SEC: A New Path Forward for XRP

Beyond price analysis, Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have agreed to temporarily delay the existing court proceedings by 60 days. The U.S. Court of Appeals granted a motion that provides time for negotiations to settle, marking a thaw in a lawsuit that started in December 2020.

The pause comes in the face of sweeping leadership transitions at the SEC in the wake of President Trump’s re-election. Newly appointed SEC Chair Paul Atkins, who has a reputation for lighter regulation, succeeds ousted Chair Gary Gensler. The change has already led to less enforcement action against crypto companies.

The recent legal respite boosts XRP’s long-term potential, alleviating investor fears and raising the hope of greater clarity and eventual institutional adoption.
