The War is Over, but the Battle for $5 Starts Now: The Real Post-SEC XRP Landscape
We need to have a serious, data-driven conversation about Ripple ($XRP).
For years, the "SEC Lawsuit" was the single biggest excuse for XRP’s suppressed price. We were told that once the shackles were off, the rocket would launch. Well, here we are in December 2025:
The Lawsuit: Officially over. Appeals were dismissed in August, and the $125M penalty is paid.
The ETFs: Live. Bitwise, Canary, and 21Shares are trading on major exchanges.
The Stablecoin: $RLUSD is integrated on Gemini and XRPL, bridging the gap to real-world payments.
So, why is XRP still consolidating near $2.00 instead of sitting at $10?
The hard truth is that we have shifted from a "Speculative Narrative" to a "Utility Reality." The massive "God Candle" didn't happen because institutional growth is slow and steady, not explosive. The 19-day inflow streak of $16M+ into XRP products proves that Smart Money is buying, but they aren't chasing pumps—they are accumulating floors.
The Bull Case for 2026:
With AMINA Bank in Europe becoming the first to fully adopt Ripple Payments and the US regulatory environment finally clear, the "pipes" are built. The next run won't be fueled by rumors of a settlement; it will be fueled by actual bank volume moving across the Ledger.
My Take: The $2.00 zone is the new $0.50. It’s boring, it’s painful, but it’s likely the launchpad for the real utility run.
👇 The Big Question:
Are you disappointed by the "Sell the News" action after the ETF approvals, or are you grateful for one last accumulation zone before 2026?
