The price of XRP coin did not meet the anticipated rise even after the conclusion of the legal battle between Ripple 
$1 and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Lawyer Bill Morgan emphasized that the community can no longer attribute the price stagnation to the lawsuit. Despite approval of the first spot XRP ETF in the U.S. and an expanding partnership with Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA), the altcoin continues to trade below $3.
XRP’s Post-Lawsuit Price Performance
For a long time, the XRP community attributed the price pressure to the uncertainty of the lawsuit. However, in spite of the lawsuit’s conclusion, XRP’s price has dipped to $2.77. Neither the approval of the first spot XRP ETF in the U.S. nor the expanded partnership with BBVA have led to a lasting price increase.
Although the altcoin experienced a strong rally towards the end of 2024, it became stagnant again after a brief recovery at the beginning of the year. The conclusion of the lawsuit did not lead to the different price trajectory that had been expected.
High Expectations from the Community
For a significant period, the XRP community linked the coin’s stagnation to the lawsuit. However, current conditions suggest this reasoning is no longer valid. Morgan noted that from now on, market dynamics and demand will determine XRP’s value, indicating a need to focus on different factors.
Many investors within the altcoin community express dissatisfaction as XRP lags behind major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin 
$78,323 and Ethereum 
$2,378 during their periods of growth. Recent analyses indicate that future price movements of XRP will be shaped by market conditions, not legal proceedings. This implies that the prolonged wait in the altcoin market could extend over months or even years.
According to Cryptoappsy, at the time of writing, XRP has dropped by 5.89% in the last 24 hours, trading at $2.80. It is worth noting that the altcoin’s trading volume surged by 111.84% in the same period, reaching $7.16 billion.
