XRP Eyes $10 by 2030 as Ripple Ends SEC Legal Battle, Analysts Say

XRP’s outlook has brightened following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision to drop its lawsuit against Ripple Labs, fueling speculation that the token could climb to $10 by 2030.

The resolution removes a major legal hurdle that has weighed on XRP for years, with analysts citing factors like regulatory clarity, adoption of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin, and even a potential Ripple IPO as key drivers of long-term price appreciation.

Ryan Lee, a market strategist at Bitget, pointed to a key trading range between $2.35 and $2.55, stating that a breakout in either direction could dictate XRP’s next major move.

“If XRP moves above $2.55, we could see it push toward $2.65-$3.00 in the short term,” Lee said. “However, a drop below $2.35 could open the door to a retest of the $2.00-$2.17 support zone.”

Looking further ahead, Lee said that if Ripple capitalizes on payment adoption and institutional interest, XRP could reach between $4.20 and $10 by 2030. He also noted that speculation around a potential XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) could influence prices, with mid-term projections placing XRP between $1.50 and $5.89.

Despite the optimism, technical indicators remain mixed. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) suggests neutral momentum, while the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) is flashing bearish signals, pointing to possible consolidation.

Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research, highlighted XRP’s resilience in recent market downturns, stating, “XRP has shown strength compared to other major cryptocurrencies, holding its ground even during broader selloffs. This suggests continued investor confidence, but external macroeconomic risks could still pose challenges.”

Meanwhile, speculation over a Ripple IPO is heating up, with CEO Brad Garlinghouse stating in a recent interview that a public listing is “on the table”—a move that could further boost investor sentiment around XRP.
