The Court victory between Ripple and SEC did not lead to the substantial XRP price increase investors predicted. When the SEC ended its appeal people expected XRP would set a new all-time price record. XRP gained a moderate 13% up to $2.60 and returned to a range around $2.40 which puzzled investors.
According to Johnny Krypto from Merlin as co-founder the minor reaction to XRP follows industry logical patterns. According to him, security prices tend to reflect pending news instead of responding comprehensively when major events happen.
Market Response To SEC Victory
Trump’s election win had no market reason to drive XRP prices up but eager investors already expected the lawsuit to end according to Krypto. He indicated that the 100% price spike of XRP from $0.50 to $2.50 during November 2019 resulted from trader beliefs that regulation would benefit XRP’s future.
The lawsuit ending without any negative outcome stopped Ripple from falling but failed to spark strong market growth. According to him XRP kept performing stable because the SEC did not ask the appeals court to review the case.
Crypto analyst EGRAG CRYPTO warns that everyone in the Ripple community feels worried because of Ripple slow price growth. He receives many messages from worried investors who want to know why Ripple did not experience a big price increase. Joiners in the market should recognize that its growth journey has only begun.
Economic Trends Impacting XRP Prices
The current market behavior differs significantly from the fast changes experienced in 2017. Present-day market changes happen at a measured pace. Most retail investors who used to get fast profits face the challenge of holding Ripple during its persistent price stability. He stays optimistic because he notes that established investors will enter the market once new Ripple ETFs become available.
He stated that financial salespeople advertising XRP to clients will bring new investors into the market through ETF products. “Patience is key.” The prospects of the Ripple token depend strongly on market economic movements alongside its legal standing. People fear a combination of weak economic growth with rising prices because President Trump’s trade war tariffs target Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese imports.
Investors from all walks prefer to invest in reliable safe havens such as U.S. Treasuries and gold due to market volatility which reduces demand for unstable crypto currencies. The Federal Reserve has chosen to keep interest rates steady between 4.25% and 4.5% which further strengthens market skepticism. Chairman Powell kept rates steady because inflation remained outside its 2% goal and economic concerns built up.
The current market conditions keep suppressing any long-lasting price gains for Ripple despite its SEC lawsuit settlement. Experts predict Ripple will experience lasting growth even though its price remains stable because institutions now support it.
