XRP Awaits Verdict in Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit as Price Faces Volatility
The Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit remains the central theme for XRP. The coming weeks in April will be crucial, with the potential for a settlement or a final court decision. While technical analysis suggests a possible price rebound, XRP’s future hinges heavily on the lawsuit’s outcome.
Ripple vs. SEC Lawsuit Nears Conclusion
The long-standing legal battle between Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) inches closer to a conclusion. With key dates approaching in April, the case could significantly impact XRP’s future.
- Settlement Talks: March 29th saw Ripple and the SEC engage in settlement discussions, potentially resolving the dispute before a pre-trial conference on April 16th.
- Extended Deadlines: Both parties requested deadline extensions for filing briefs, highlighting the case’s complexity. The SEC seeks a near $2 billion penalty against Ripple.
- Final Decision Timeline: Following the April pre-trial conference, experts predict applications for resolutions will conclude by April 29th. Judge Torres will then issue a final decision.
XRP Price Volatility
Despite the ongoing lawsuit, XRP experienced significant volatility. XRP’s trading volume spiked 80% within 24 hours, reaching over $4 billion. This increase coincided with a broader crypto market downturn. The surge in trading volume came alongside a sharp price drop for XRP, triggering liquidations and forced selling.
At the time of writing ($0.58/XRP), XRP sits near a support zone. Analysts like CrediBULL Crypto believe XRP could outperform Bitcoin (BTC) if BTC holds current support. A potential rally could see XRP reach $0.74. However, a break below this support zone might lead to further price decline.
