Key Takeaways:

  • Ripple’s $50M SEC settlement ends a pivotal legal chapter, restoring institutional XRP sales.
  • Analysts and AI predict July XRP ETF filings, potentially involving heavyweights like BlackRock.
  • XRP price jumped 5%, but experts warn of short-term volatility despite the long-term bullish setup.

The XRP community is celebrating a major milestone after Ripple officially ended its cross-appeal in its years-long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The crypto firm has agreed to a final settlement of $50 million—less than half the SEC’s previously proposed $125 million. This move not only lifts restrictions on Ripple’s institutional sales of XRP but also removes one of the largest overhangs in the asset’s history.

XRP Gains Regulatory Clarity as ETF Talk Heats Up

With both Ripple and the SEC dropping further appeals, XRP now enjoys a level of regulatory clarity unmatched by most digital assets. This has renewed speculation about a spot XRP ETF. According to AI analyst AIXBT, XRP filings could arrive as early as July, riding on the coattails of Ripple’s courtroom victory.

ETF Store President Nate Geraci recently echoed this sentiment, suggesting that the resolution could pave the way for major asset managers—like BlackRock—to explore XRP-based investment products. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart added that an XRP ETF attracting over $85 million in its first week would be considered a strong debut, given XRP’s current market size relative to Bitcoin.

XRP Price Jumps 5% After Ripple CEO’s Comments

Following Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s statement confirming the case was closed “once and for all,” XRP’s price surged nearly 5%. Investors welcomed the end of the legal saga, with many interpreting the court’s decision as a green light for institutional engagement.

AI agent AIXBT labeled XRP as the “cleanest” crypto in terms of regulatory status, a stark contrast to the murky landscape surrounding other tokens like SOL and ADA. However, the AI also warned that traders could be overleveraging on long positions, suggesting that short-term corrections remain possible despite the positive outlook.

BlackRock Watch and July ETF Filing Speculation

Market watchers are now focused on July, the date predicted by AI models and speculated by analysts for potential XRP ETF filings. Although the SEC is not expected to deliver formal decisions until late 2025, entities like Grayscale, VanEck, Bitwise, and Canary Capital are rumored to be preparing applications.

If BlackRock enters the fray, the coin could undergo a massive shift—from a token burdened by legal uncertainty to a fully legitimized, tradable financial product in the eyes of Wall Street.
