The crypto market is holding its breath as the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) gets ready to vote on something that could impact the legal status of XRP. The ruling, which is due in the next few weeks, could finally clear up the regulatory fog over Ripple’s coin. This important event could give XRP the boost it needs to reach the $4 threshold, which it hasn’t seen since early 2018.
XRP’s performance has suffered a lot because Ripple has been in a legal dispute with the SEC for a long time. But the recent approval of a spot Ethereum ETF and the growing assumption that Ripple will do well have brought back optimistic enthusiasm. Market experts think that an SEC decision in Ripple’s favor may be a huge boost, especially if the token is formally recognized not to be a security. This clarity would make it easier for more institutions to use it.
The Bull Case is Supported by Larger Market Trends
Bitcoin and Ethereum are remaining strong near important support levels, which helps altcoins like XRP stay stable. CoinShares says that institutional investments in digital assets have been continuously rising since the second quarter of 2025. This shows that hedge funds and wealth managers are once again interested. Ripple’s burgeoning alliances, like its push into Asian cross-border payments and tokenization projects, are also good for long-term growth.
