Predicting the price of XRP or any other cryptocurrencies is inherently uncertain. However, XRP does possess a distinct advantage as it serves as a core network for banks and has a direct application. An Initial Public Offering (IPO), once a verdict is reached in the SEC lawsuit, could positively influence the price, but whether this will materialise remains unknown. A defeat in the lawsuit could detrimentally impact the XRP price and potentially instigate a wave of lawsuits. Therefore, the repercussions on the Ripple price remain uncertain. Investors should always bear in mind that past performance is not a reliable indicator of future price evolution.
