Judgment Day Is ComingXRP Set To Explode, Analyst Warns
Ripples ongoing lawsuit with the US SEC is moving through the courts, and some in the XRP community say judgment day is close. XRP pushed past $2 late last year, only to slip back under that mark recently.
For most of 2024, it hovered near $0.50, a range many traders saw as a barrier. Now, with fresh legal hurdles, believers and skeptics are both bracing for what comes next.
Legal Battle Takes A Detour
According to court records, Judge AnalisaTorres blocked a joint settlement on May15,2025. Ripple hoped to pay a reduced $50million fine and lift a permanent injunction. Instead, the judge ruled that the motion had cited the wrong procedural ruleRule62.1 instead of Rule60.
Ripple and the SEC must refile under the correct rule. That move wont overhaul the timeline, but it does mean more filings and a delay that could last months.
Very soon, nothing will be holding XRP back.
No lawsuit. No distractions.
At that point, it all comes down to the utility weve been talking about for years.
Judgment day is comingand well see if we were right.
Will we see explosive growth?
Or a slow and steady climb?

Community Pushes Judgment Day Narrative
Based on reports from XRP forums and social feeds, many holders believe price suppression has held the token down. They point to the long stay around $0.50 and insist outside forces prevented higher gains.
After XRP rallied above $2 at yearend, talk of suppression fadeduntil it fell back under $2. Now critics warn that believers are setting themselves up for disappointment, while optimistic voices say judgment day will reveal the truth and clear the way for a big rally.
Utility Claims Face CompetitionCommentators often highlight XRPs role in crossborder payments through RippleNet. They predict it could capture a slice of a tokenization market projected to exceed $18trillion by 2033. But rivals are gearing up.
SWIFT is rolling out faster transaction corridors, and platforms like Ethereum, Solana and Algorand are also targeting tokenized assets. So far, realworld XRP volume remains small compared with its total supply, and widespread adoption has yet to materialize.
Bold Price Targets Draw DoubtSome analysts toss around targets of $50, $100 or even $1,000 for XRP once the legal cloud clears. To reach $100, the market cap would need to expand more than 40times from todays levels.
A $1,000 price tag would require an even more massive inflow of new money. Few market watchers see that happening without a major institutional push or a breakthrough in crossborder payment adoption.
Final Ruling Could Set The StageRipple and the SEC both say they want this case wrapped up quickly. Yet appeals courts move at their own pace. Even the most optimistic projections point to a final decision in late 2025 or early 2026.
When judgment day arrives, it could either validate those bullish forecasts or underscore how tough it is for XRP to shake off legal overhangs.
Until then, traders will likely watch every court update more closely than utility metrics. For now, its still a waiting gameone that could reshape XRPs next big move.
