However, in the 2021 bull market, the altcoin failed to do so due to Ripple’s dealings with the SEC, something that derailed its price.

While the formation on the XRP price chart is promising, there are other factors that could push the altcoin’s price to new heights. The Ripple vs SEC lawsuit is fast coming to an end, with the court ordering Ripple to pay $125 million to the SEC. The regulator has since appealed this decision and the market awaits the outcome.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has also said that he expects the lawsuit to be concluded sometime this year. If that happens, it could give XRP’s price the boost it needs to grow without the burden of securities charges levied by a regulatory body.
