XRP to $5?! A Most Curious Prediction 🤔

by

It would appear the current state of the crypto-market is, shall we say, spirited. Fortunes are being made, or lost with alarming rapidity! Bitcoin, that most volatile of companions, has ascended to a dizzying £123,000 – a rise of 7.7% in a single week! One can scarcely keep track. Ethereum, not to be outdone, flirts with £4,760, while our friend XRP has modestly improved to £3.33. A respectable advance, though one wonders if it justifies the excitement.

Observing the XRP’s, ahem, “price chart” (as if one needs a chart to observe a price!), it seems the gentlemen on the buying side have managed to hold their positions. Now that the tiresome affair with the SEC is, at last, concluded, many predictors of the future are anticipating notable gains. While claims of £100 a share are clearly the fancies of an over-imaginative mind – such sums are best left to novels – a more sensible £7 to £10 is now deemed plausible. 🧐


Mr. Manhar Garegrat of Liminal Custody, in a recent discourse with Coinpedia, declared that XRP has demonstrated ‘resilience’ during this… cycle. One supposes resilience is a necessary quality in such a precarious undertaking! He suggests, should the ‘market momentum’ – a rather grand phrase, is it not? – continue, and with the potential spread of crypto-mania to more corners of the globe, a price holding between £3.5 and £5 is perfectly conceivable. He also hints at a possible XRP Exchange Traded Fund, which sounds exceedingly modern and, if successful, will no doubt confer further ‘stability’ upon this most unpredictable of assets. 🙄

The SEC Case – Finally Laid to Rest

For years, the proponents of XRP have borne a considerable degree of disappointment, attributing any lack of progress to the legal entanglement with the SEC. Now, with that tiresome burden removed, Ripple is free to forge new alliances – though one questions if such alliances are truly beneficial, or merely elaborate schemes. Even Commissioner Hester Peirce deems the conclusion of the case to be advantageous, suggesting that the energy previously devoted to legal battles may now be channeled into the creation of a sensible regulatory scheme. A commendable notion, though one suspects ‘sensible’ and ‘crypto’ are rarely found in the same sentence.

Chairman Paul Atkins wisely echoed this sentiment, noting that the opportunity now exists to move from the courtroom to the paper-strewn drafting table. His hope is for a regulatory regime that fosters both ‘innovation’ and ‘investor protection’ – a most delicate balancing act, and one that I suspect will prove to be a considerable challenge. 😇
