The crypto community eagerly awaits a verdict in the ongoing legal battle between the SEC and Ripple Labs. The status of XRP has already been confirmed as not a security leading to a win for XRP. Yet the battle still continues.
The SEC initially sought a hefty $2 billion penalty and an injunction prohibiting XRP sales to institutional investors. In contrast, Ripple proposed a much smaller $10 million penalty.
Pro-crypto lawyer Fred Rispoli predicts the end of the battle on July 13 or July 31.

Some optimistic scenarios suggest that a favorable ruling could propel XRP back toward its all-time high of $3.40 and even beyond, possibly reaching $10 or more. Conversely, a negative outcome may keep XRP’s price subdued.
