XRP Poised for Long-Term Gains as Ripple Ends SEC Battle, Analysts Predict $10 Target by 2030
XRP is gaining traction among investors after Ripple Labs secured a decisive victory, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) formally dropping its lawsuit last week. The legal clarity has fueled speculation that XRP could surge to $10 by 2030, with analysts pointing to factors like Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, expanding adoption, and a potential IPO as key catalysts.
According to Bitget’s Ryan Lee, XRP is currently consolidating between $2.35 and $2.55, with a breakout likely to drive its next big move.
“A sustained push above $2.55 could set the stage for $2.65-$3.00 in the near term,” Lee said. “On the flip side, a drop below $2.35 might trigger a pullback to $2.00-$2.17.”
For the long term, Lee sees XRP reaching between $4.20 and $10 by 2030, provided Ripple leverages institutional partnerships and payment adoption. He also highlighted speculation around an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) as a potential price driver, estimating a broader range of $1.50-$5.89 in the mid-term.
Despite the bullish sentiment, technical indicators suggest a period of consolidation. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) remains neutral, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) signals caution, indicating possible short-term volatility.
Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, noted XRP’s resilience during recent market downturns:
“XRP has remained relatively stable even as broader crypto markets faced heavy selling. This suggests that investors are confident in its long-term trajectory, but macroeconomic factors—such as interest rates and trade policies—could still impact sentiment.”
Meanwhile, speculation is mounting around a potential Ripple IPO, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently hinting at the possibility. If Ripple goes public, analysts believe it could provide another major catalyst for XRP’s long-term growth.
