{"content":"Ripple Wins – SEC Ends 5-Year Battle, But New Market Risks Loom August 8, 2025 — A major chapter in crypto history has closed. Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have officially ended their long-running legal fight. On August 7, both parties agreed to drop all appeals, bringing the case to a final close. The outcome means no fines or penalties for Ripple, while the SEC covers its own legal costs. It’s essentially a draw, but for the XRP community, it feels like a long-awaited victory. Following the announcement, XRP’s price surged 12% and pushed past $3.33. The move fueled optimism across the market, but not everyone is convinced the rally will hold. Crypto analyst Vincent Van Code cautioned that the spike may be driven by trading bots rather than genuine buying pressure. He noted that arbitrage bots — programs designed to profit from price differences across exchanges — can quickly reverse artificial jumps. According to him, XRP would need daily trading volumes above $30 billion to maintain sustainable momentum. With the legal burden lifted, XRP is now positioned for potential institutional adoption, expanded real-world use cases, and even the possibility of an exchange-traded fund in the future. Van Code believes $4 is still within reach, but warns that the true challenge lies ahead as the market adjusts. The courtroom fight is over, but the next phase for XRP will be decided by market demand, liquidity, and the ability to outpace automated trading strategies. The coming weeks could set the tone for its long-term trajectory.","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025082025/08/08/b0a9a95342c34eb58702385d4b62428d.jpg"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["XRP/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
