The XRP price has seen a slight increase of 0.5% today, with its move to $0.523 providing some relief from the recent losses due to the SEC’s appeal against Ripple. XRP is still down by 11.5% over the week and 6% over the month, and it has declined by 2% over the past year. This performance might be disappointing for many holders, especially since most major tokens have risen significantly over the last year. However, several legal experts suggest that Ripple still has a positive outlook despite the SEC’s appeal, with some optimistic about a settlement before the case even reaches the appeal stage.
The SEC’s notice of appeal regarding the July 2023 decision, which ruled that Ripple’s ‘programmatic’ sales of XRP were not investment contracts, resulted in a more than 10% drop in the XRP price in just one day. Nonetheless, attorneys like Jeremy Hogan argue that the SEC is “very very likely to lose” the appeal and that even a win might only lead to an additional financial penalty for Ripple.
Fred Rispoli also mentioned the possibility of a settlement between Ripple and the SEC, avoiding the need for an appeal process. This could be favorable for Ripple, as it would prevent prolonged legal uncertainty. Currently, XRP’s price is showing signs of recovery after a tough start to the week, with its RSI indicating increased buyer interest. Additionally, XRP’s 30-period moving average is poised for recovery, which is also supported by recent whale activity indicating large transfers of the coin.
Twitter discussions have touched on the potential outcomes of the Ripple and SEC case, emphasizing the role of mandatory mediation in appellate courts, which could lead to an early settlement. The trend of whales buying the dip is evident, with significant XRP transfers from major exchanges to unknown wallets, suggesting a possible price increase to $0.6 by the end of the month and potentially reaching $0.80 by December.
In the context of challenging times for XRP, traders might seek to diversify by investing in smaller altcoins with higher growth potential, such as presale tokens. One such promising token is Pepe Unchained (PEPU), which has raised over $17.3 million in its sale. Pepe Unchained is set to launch its L2 network for Ethereum soon, offering fast transactions and low fees, with a focus on creating an ecosystem for meme tokens. Its success is anticipated, especially with its growing online presence and substantial follower base.
Investors can participate in PEPU’s presale, where tokens are currently priced at $0.00991, with a price increase expected soon.
