On the contrary Ripple (XRP) has been largely affected by the lawsuit filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). As the trial continues to proceed, the crypto analysts and experts predict the XRP price will go to hit $2.55 by end of this year. According to Finder.com its panel of experts expects a price rise of over 260% by 2022.
But, if Ripple loses its case to the U.S. SEC it might see a drastic loss. However, if Ripple wins the case the XRP price might surge significantly to $5 by end of 2022. This projection has been made by Matthew Harry, the head of funds at DigitalX Asset Management. Further to this, the panel is hopeful XRP can touch $3.61 by 2025 and $4.98 by end of 2030.
