XRP, which spent its last few years engaged in legal battles with the SEC and the resulting weakness, experienced a major surge after November 2024.
Donald Trump’s victory in the legal battle against the SEC and his election win caused the price of XRP to rise from $0.5 to $3.6 in a matter of months, reviving interest in XRP.
However, a significant downward trend has been observed since October, with the XRP price falling to around $1. Despite these declines, a US company has added XRP to its list of altcoins to watch.
Accordingly, the American financial consulting firm The Motley Fool stated in its latest analysis that XRP is a token worth watching in the next few years.
Company analysts offered two reasons for this, firstly pointing to the remaining regulatory hurdles facing XRP. According to the analysts, the regulatory clarity resulting from the resolution of the SEC-Ripple case could pave the way for institutional participation, especially if supported by new frameworks such as the Clarity Act. With less legal risk, institutions may feel more comfortable using XRP for cross-border payments, which could increase adoption by 2027.
Secondly, it showed Ripple’s continued expansion in the payment system. According to the company, Ripple is now building a broader financial ecosystem instead of focusing solely on fast transactions. This could expand institutional access to XRP.
Pressure on XRP Price May Continue!
The Motley Fool analysts recently offered a general assessment of the XRP price. According to their findings, they predict that the XRP price will remain under pressure for the remainder of 2026.
However, analysts say this slow movement might not actually be a sign of weakness, but rather a preparatory phase. At this point, analysts suggest that the weakness in XRP could create an opportunity for investors before 2027. They believe that despite XRP’s value dropping by up to 60% in the last year, its long-term upside potential has not been completely eliminated.
