Now, the SEC must submit a status update to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Though not a final verdict date, this update could reshape the legal timeline.
Still, any settlement will need Judge Torres’s formal approval, which could take time.
XRP Price: What Comes Next?
Experts believe June 16 might not bring a major XRP price rally. Much of the legal optimism is already priced in by investors.
But, a further delay could put downside pressure on the XRP price. On the other hand, positive signals from court might lift short-term sentiment.
Moreover, currently, XRP price shows a 0.91 correlation with Bitcoin. This means XRP tends to track Bitcoin’s moves closely, and could wait for BTC to push beyond $112K, before XRP price makes an big leap.
Recently, in short-term, it faced rejection at $2.33. If Bitcoin falls to $105K, XRP price may slip to $2.15 or even $2.10.
