XRP is making headlines after Ripple trademarked “downloadable software” that will allow people to store cryptocurrencies. This development has sparked speculation about its potential impact on the XRP price.
Ripple's long-running legal battle with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is reportedly nearing its conclusion, according to sources within the agency, cited by an XRP community member dubbed Andrew. The insiders claim that negotiations involving the five-year court case could reclassify XRP as a commodity.
At the beginning of 2025, XRP saw a significant upward performance, reaching as high as the $3.2 level in January. After witnessing a strong bullish performance, the altcoin has been faced with bearish conditions that have slowed down its growth.
XRP's price has rebounded over the past few days, climbing from a low of $1.8890 last week to over $2.30. Ripple (XRP) ose largely due to last week's rebound in the crypto and stock markets.
Every week someone floats the idea their favorite crypto coin should be a strategic asset of the US government. This week, Ripple's XRP has been nominated, and the SEC Crypto Task Force seems to like it a lot.
XRP has risen 1.6% in the past 24 hours, reaching $2.34 as the market continues its post-weekend recovery.As the best-performing cryptocurrency among the top five this year, XRP has gained 12.6% in 2025.
XRP has formed a head-and-shoulders pattern on the weekly chart which suggests a potential surge to $3 if bulls take over.
Investment in crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs) took a heavy hit last week, with outflows reaching $1.7 billion, according to the latest CoinShares report. This marks the fifth consecutive week of capital flight, bringing total outflows to $6.4 billion—an all-time high.
XRP, the fourth largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, is forming a classic reversal pattern on its weekly chart, which, if validated, could have implications for its price.
As someone once said about addressing the volatile fluctuations on the cryptocurrency market: just scale out. And this actually works, at least for the third biggest coin out there, XRP.
The cryptocurrency market has shifted dramatically following a huge Q4 rally. Now, many are questioning whether we're entering a bear market. Brian from Santiment, on the Thinking Crypto podcast, discussed how market sentiment can flip quickly and how the actions of whales often drive the market, regardless of retail investors' mood.
The digital assets market kicked off the week by printing “not so much big” red indexes all over around. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped almost 2% in 24 hours dragging major altcoins down with it.
The crypto market remained on edge as the fear and greed index stalled at the fear zone of 20 ahead of the FOMC decision. Bitcoin (BTC) dropped below $84,000, while Ethereum (ETH) and Ripple (XRP) were little changed.
Recently, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, under the leadership of its acting chairman, Mark Uyeda, has withdrawn cases against top crypto firms, including Coinbase and Consensys. There are rumours that the regulator will drop its four-year-old legal battle against Ripple soon.
A technology investor who backed ride-hailing app Uber in its early days has stirred up the crypto community after claiming that the OG cryptocurrency Bitcoin (BTC) will ultimately be replaced by a better digital asset.
Ripple's XRP has surged by almost 10% in the past week, riding the wave of a broader market uptrend. As of this writing, the fourth-largest crypto by market capitalization trades at $2.33.
According to a recent SEC clarification, Bitcoin is indeed being positioned as a strategic digital reserve asset. However, the role of other cryptocurrencies like XRP, Solana, and Cardano is equally critical in shaping the nation's digital economy.
XRP's focus on fast, low-cost transactions has made it the third largest cryptocurrency in the world (excluding stablecoins) — and one of the main beneficiaries of the late 2024 rally.
The crypto market is gradually undergoing bearish consolidation. However, coins like XRP are pushing for new rebound attempts.
Not official, not confirmed, but impossible to ignore: the idea that Ripple's legal war with the SEC is entering its final chapter is rippling through the crypto space.
XRP price dropped 8% to $2.30 after SEC paused altcoin ETF approvals, but analysts remain bullish due to technical patterns, growing wallet numbers, and possible SEC reclassification as a commodity.
XRP, this rebellious insurgent, rises from the ashes while Ethereum stumbles. The crypto-sphere holds its breath: the established order wavers, and the throne of altcoins threatens to change hands.
