Operator Altstreet Bets has shared the chart below to indicate XRPâs price could go to $3 âwithout resistanceâ. The trader has set support at $1.10 and $1.72 and believes XRP could target $8.49 in the long term.
Many factors are contributing to XRPâs recent performance. The high interest of investors in South Korea, buying the token for a premium, and new uses case for XRP.
In the legal corner, operator King Solomon has been bullish over the recent developments in the Securities and Exchange Commission versus Ripple Labs, and executives Brad Garlinghouse and Chris Larsen lawsuit.
Filed for the alleged sale of an unregistered security, things seem to be going in favor of the payment company.
Researcher Leonidas Hadjiloizou has shown the position of international institutions on XRP. The Bank of International Settlements, in a report, said XRP is âdefinitely not a securityâ. Hadjiloizou said:
Would Jay Clayton push for a lawsuit against Ripple as he was walking out the door if he believed the SEC would take action anyway after he left? I believe he wouldnât. This is one of the reasons I believe this lawsuit is unwanted by the SEC and will settle it if it can save face
Although the legal dispute could be far from over, the sentiment over the result is bullish on the crypto market. King Solomon said:
Moreover, the case seems to reveal that former SEC leaders put their personal gain above the well-being of the nation. When the agency repeatedly claims in filings and hearings that âthe SEC is not on trial hereâ, it is almost certain that the opposite is true.
XRP uses cases expand to DeFi
Interoperable solution Wanchain has announced XRP will be integrated into its platform alongside Ethereum, Bitcoin, EOS, and others. Leveraging âWanchainâs Universal Multichain Bridgesâ, users will be able to trade cross-chain enable XRP Tokens.
As of now, XRP holders can start earning with Wanchain DeFi protocols like WanSwap, the platformâs native decentralized exchange. Wanchainâs team said in an official post:
XRP holders can now securely use their XRP to farm, mine and provide liquidity rather than simply leaving their tokens, inactive, in wallets and exchanges. XRP tokens can now, finally, engage with DeFi applications and reach their full potential.
Wanchain users will have at their disposal a native wallet and a Wanbridge website where they can send and receive XRP cross-chain.
In order to achieve this, the platform âconvertsâ the token on the XRP Ledger and, in the case of Ethereum, mints an ERC-20 token called wanXRP. Â All transactions using Wanchain are free.
