😬 XRP Struggles Amid Regulatory Uncertainty; BTC Sub-$100K

👨‍⚖️ SEC appeal plans weigh heavily on XRP prices; decisions may redefine US crypto market legal precedents.
🇺🇸 US BTC-spot ETFs attract record inflows, as investor confidence grows amid strategic reserve asset proposals.
📟 Capitol Hill embraces pro-crypto leadership, fueling optimism for regulatory clarity in the digital asset market.

XRP Price Volatility and Regulatory Impact
On Thursday, December 12, XRP declined by 2.37%, reversing a 0.91% from Wednesday, closing at $2.3379. XRP underperformed the broader crypto market, which dipped by 0.30%, taking the total market cap to $3.510 trillion.
Uncertainty surrounding Crenshaw’s renomination vote and whether the SEC will pursue the appeal continues to weigh on XRP demand.
Near-term price trends remain hinged on SEC plans to appeal. XRP could face renewed selling pressure if the SEC pursues the appeal, potentially pulling the token toward $1. Conversely, a withdrawal may drive XRP past its January 2018 all-time high of $3.5505.
A withdrawal would also set the Programmatic Sales of XRP ruling as a pivotal legal precedent for the US crypto market. This precedent may undermine the SEC’s ongoing legal cases against crypto exchanges, including Coinbase (COIN) and Binance.
In July 2023, Judge Analisa Torres ruled that Programmatic Sales of XRP did not satisfy the third prong of the Howey Test. In other words, XRP sales on crypto exchanges do not violate US securities laws.

📟 Ripple Price Annual Forecast: Can XRP ride the bullish wave to new highs in 2025?


⚡️XRP gained over 250% so far in 2024 following Donald Trump's election victory and SEC Chair Gary Gensler's resignation.

🔒 The SEC's appeal in its case against Ripple and the potential XRP ETF launch are key factors that could determine XRP's performance in 2025.

Technically, XRP could hit a new all-time high near $4.75 if the crypto market's bullish sentiment extends into 2025.

Ripple (XRP) extended its consolidation pattern – which dates back to a sharp decline it witnessed in May 2021 –  within the first 10 months of 2024. Despite Judge Analisa Torres's final ruling in August, which gave XRP a major victory in its case with the United StatesSecurities and Exchange Commission (SEC), prices remained mum until November.
However, with tailwinds from crypto-friendly candidate Donald Trump's presidential election victory and SEC Chair Gensler's resignation, XRP broke out of its more than three-year consolidation.

Merry Christmas 🎄 Family
