What Could XRP Lose or Gain?
Ripple vs SEC battle extends to the end of 2025 as the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) decides to appeal district court rulings. Ripple plans to cross-appeal the arguments by the regulatory agency as it continues to threaten the crypto industry with regulation by enforcement approach. Meanwhile, traders brace for impact as XRP price moves sideways this week.
Ripple SEC Lawsuit Appeals Filed in the Second Circuit Court
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission finally filed its Form C related to appeals in the Ripple lawsuit. Form C is an appeal pre-argument statement required by the US Court of Appeals.
The appeal against Judge Torres’ ruling gets heated comments from Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and CLO Stuart Alderoty as the XRP army claimed the agency has missed the deadline. Moreover, the SEC is accused of missing the Form C filing deadline and back dating the document.
Notably, the SEC has appealed the summary judgment on Ripple’s XRP sales through crypto exchanges, distribution to employees and others by the firm, and XRP sales by CEO Brad Garlinghouse and Executive Chairman Chris Larsen.
The Gary Gensler-led government agency has started attacking the crypto market on secondary sales after recent losses in the lawsuit, Binance, and other lawsuits. Crypto executives including Stuart Alderoty slammed SEC and Gensler for their approach and overreach.

How It Will Impact XRP Price?
While the long-running U.S. SEC v Ripple Labs lawsuit has impacted the XRP price rally, some experts believe the appeals will continue to make an impact for a few years. However, price predictions by analysts and recent developments by the company indicates otherwise.
Recently, Ripple has introduced crypto custody for banks and financial technology firms. Also, the company is near to launch its RLUSD stablecoin, with numerous partnerships for XRP Ledger adoption. XRP price analysis by CoinGape shows that the price can hit $1 after RLUSD’s launch.
The crypto industry is upbeat on approval of XRP ETF by the U.S. SEC as the companies roll out indexes and futures in regulated markets. However, Bitnomial XRP futures were challenged as the securities regulator claimed that the futures fall under the purview of both the SEC and the CFTC.
XRP price performance is up just 1% this week after the SEC filed its appeal in the Ripple lawsuit. The price is currently trading at $0.54, with a 24-hour low and high of $0.542 and $0.550, respectively. Furthermore, the trading volume has decreased further by 30% in the last 24 hours, indicating a lack of interest among traders.

Veteran trader Peter Schiff has stated that the XRP price is set for a parabolic rally, indicating that the crypto could soon enjoy another leg up just following its break above $1. The trader also explained what needs to happen before XRP can enjoy this parabolic rally.
XRP Price Ready For Parabolic Rally
In an X post, veteran trader Peter Brandt said that the XRP price is ready to rip, indicating that the crypto was set to witness a massive move to the upside. Brandt remarked that a massive coil was building up for XRP.
This coil pattern provides a bullish outlook for XRP, indicating that the crypto will enjoy an explosive move that will align with its fundamentals. XRP’s fundamentals are currently bullish at the moment, thanks to several developments.
This includes the fact that the XRP lawsuit could soon be over once the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Chair Gary Gensler resigns. It is worth mentioning that there was a recent rally above $1, as Gary Gensler hinted at resignation.
Besides these fundamentals, XRP is also bullish from a technical analysis perspective. Peter Brandt mentioned that XRP has already cleared the 2023 high. This 2023 high came when Judge Aanalisa Torres ruled that the crypto wasn’t a security in itself.
With the 2023 high out of the way, the veteran trader remarked that XRP is ready for take-off once the crypto clears its 2021 high. XRP will need to climb to as high as $1.60 to clear its 2021 high. Once that happens, the parabolic rally could follow, as Peter Brandt suggested.
The trader’s accompanying chart showed that XRP could rally to as high as $9 once the crypto reaches this target. XRP whales could also contribute to this rally as they are actively accumulating. These XRP whales recently bought $526 million worth of coins, with XRP targeting a rally to $7.5 first.
Price Action Based On An Elliot Wave Analysis
In an X post, crypto analyst Dark Defender provided insights into what the XRP price action could look like moving forward based on his Elliot wave analysis. He said that XRP had completed the first wave (of the third wave) at $1.2680. He revealed that wave 2 started with wave A from $1.26 towards $1 and has already happened.
In line with this, he mentioned that wave B has begun, which can lead to a bullish reversal back to $1.26. However, that might not put XRP out of the clear yet as the analyst expects that there will be a corrective wave C.
This wave C could lead to XRP dropping back to $1 again or even below. If this corrective move doesn’t happen, Dark Defender remarked that this means that XRP will break above the $1.33 level and rally to $1.88. A rally to $1.88 is significant as it means that XRP has cleared its 2021 high and will witness that parabolic rally, as Peter Brandt predicted. An XRP rally to $4 is on the cards based on crypto analyst Egrag Crypto’s prediction. The analyst predicted that the crypto could rally to as high as $4 after it crossed the $1 mark.

A crypto trader made a massive profit with MANTRA trading, catching the eyes of investors. According to reports, the trader has witnessed an estimated gain of more than $6 million with OM price witnessing a slight dip during writing. However, the massive dump by the investor has sparked speculations over a further dip in the crypto’s price, while many anticipate otherwise looking at the current broader market trends.
Crypto Trader Made $6M Profit With MANTRA Trading
A recent report by the on-chain analytics platform The Data Nerd showed that smart money, identified by the wallet address “0xdc2”, has deposited 600K OM tokens to Binance. The transfer was valued at around $2.53 million, according to the report citing Arkham Intelligence data.
This massive transaction by the crypto trader has caught the eyes of investors. Besides, the market participants have also shifted their focus amid the recent gains in MANTRA price. Notably, the report notes that on June 6, 2023, the smart money withdrew 1.489 million OM from the same top crypto exchange. His entry was at an average of $0.026 per token.
Meanwhile, the whale has sold the 600K tokens at the current price now, witnessing a profit of $2.49 million or a return of 64X. Besides, his current holdings indicate his total estimated profit at $6.28 million or a return on investment (ROI) of 161X.
This massive profit booking by the trader has discussions in the broader crypto market. Crypto investors often use the opportunity of soaring prices to book profit, but it also fuels concerns over a potential dip ahead for the asset.
For context, recently, a crypto investor has turned $1.1K into $1.82 million in just 20 days by trading two altcoins. Notably, the massive dump by the investor could spark further selling pressure on the crypto, which could potentially weigh on the investors’ sentiment in the coming days.
OM Price Soars 26%
Despite a slight dip following the massive dump by the crypto trader, it has maintained a steady momentum in the 24-hour time frame. OM price today was up 26.58% and exchanged hands at $4.15, while its trading volume rose 33% to $771.50 million.
However, the price went down from its 24-hour high of $4.47 after the transfer. Despite that, the surge of around 26% in its price indicates strong market confidence in the asset. Besides, the MANTRA Futures Open Interest also rose nearly 53%, hinting towards further gains ahead.
Notably, it appears that the market is shifting its focus towards the altcoins, amid a positive sentiment hovering in the broader crypto market. For context, the overall crypto market cap was up 1.03% during writing and soared past the $3 trillion mark, reflecting market confidence.
