Ripple Labs and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have jointly requested a pause in their respective appeals to finalize a potential settlement, per a motion filed on Thursday. The filing signals a possible end to a high-profile dispute that has gripped the payments upstart industry since December 2020 for its sale of XRP tokens , which the SEC alleged were unregistered securities. The case has been a focal point for debates over the regulatory status of cryptocurrencies in the United States, with Ripple arguing that XRP is a currency, not a security, and thus outside the SEC’s jurisdiction. Ripple and the SEC have reached an “agreement in principle” to resolve all outstanding issues, per a post shared by attorney James Filan. This includes not only the SEC’s appeal of the district court’s final judgment but also Ripple’s cross-appeal and the claims against Ripple founders Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen. The motion requests that the court hold the appeals process in abeyance — effectively pausing it — while the parties hammer out the final terms of the settlement, which still requires formal approval from the SEC’s commissioners. This follows a similar request from the SEC and Gemini in early April , where the two parties requested the court approve a two-month pause to finalize a deal to close their long-running legal dispute over Gemini`s Earn program.

XRP To $50? Technical Analyst Lays Out The Roadmap
XRP owners experienced a rollercoaster ride last week as the cryptocurrency fought to remain above the $2 level. The altcoin, which recently exchanged hands at $2.13, fell by almost 20% between April 5 and 7, touching a five-month low of $1.78. However, the token soon regained its ground with a 15% jump the next day, reclaiming the $2 region – although it still struggles to maintain this position.

Though certain experts foresee levels between $12 and $15, Cryptominder has put forward an ambitious goal of $50 by 2030. This prediction is a whopping 2,330% climb from today’s levels around $2.06, with annual growth of over 80% for the next half-decade. This growth rate is within reach, says Cryptominder, citing last year’s 230% price appreciation of XRP as proof. The analyst went as far as to say that market observers would look back at his call with acknowledgment in the future. In 5 years from now $XRP will be over 50$ price. Today is the day you will remember. You will say to your friends that we never believed in XRP when it was 0.09$ we never believed at 0.35$ we never believed at 2$. I buy this XRP you are not. I bought at these prices! — Cryptominder (@Crypt0minder) April 17, 2025 Skeptics Reminded Of Previous Missed Opportunities Cryptominder targeted risk-averse investors who are reluctant to purchase at $2. He compared it to the same sentiment during the time when XRP only cost $0.09 in May 2017 and then subsequently at $0.35. Both prices eventually realized significant returns for investors who purchased in, he asserted. The analyst pointed to his own experience purchasing at these lower levels, and indicated that the current $2 level might provide similar potential for expansion. This pattern in the past is the foundation for his lofty $50 target. Other Analysts Share Similar Optimism Cryptominder is not alone in being bullish. Following reports, Amonyx said last August XRP would beat $10 before hitting $50, stating “no one could stop the momentum.” More recently, Edoardo Farina intimated that investors would kick themselves for failing to buy if and when XRP hits $50, so far even making a suggestion on the potential at $100. #XRP will quickly go above $10+ and then above $50+, there is nothing you can do about it. ????#XRPHolders #XRPCommunity pic.twitter.com/B8pFABeZLK — Amonyx (@amonbuy) August 28, 2024 Some market experts seem to support these estimates, predicting a high price of $48 for XRP by 2030 – similarly close to Cryptominder’s estimate. However, other analysts provide a more cautious timeline, estimating that XRP will not hit the $50 mark until 2033.

Having recently retreated to $1.78, the altcoin was able to recover and drive back above $2, albeit holding on to this level has not been easy. Market observers point out that even with these challenges, bears have yet to fully take over the price action. Based on price charts, XRP must set stronger support higher than the $2 psychological mark in order to gain momentum towards any future expansion. The fact that the token managed to bounce back by 14.33% in a single day reflects the potential for sudden movements in either direction and illustrates the extremely volatile nature of cryptocurrency markets.
