Edoardo Farina, CEO of Alpha Lions Academy and well-known XRP advocate, took to X to outline what he sees as the path ahead for the digital asset. Many notable developments in XRP’s future have the community excited, and Farina highlighted key ones that could be game-changers.
The End of XRP’s Legal Troubles
The most exciting development in XRP’s immediate future is the resolution of the long-running legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
In late March, the SEC agreed to withdraw its appeal against Ripple. Both parties have been working to dismiss the lawsuit legally. This agreement will remove the permanent injunction preventing XRP sales to institutions and lower Ripple’s penalty from $125 million to $50 million.
They recently faced a setback as Judge Annalisa Torres rejected the settlement agreement filed by the SEC due to a procedural error. The community is eagerly awaiting the next steps and the resolution of the legal battle, as it would provide legal clarity for XRP in the U.S., which most digital assets don’t have.
Here's what awaits for $XRP:
– SEC lawsuit officially over
– Legal clarity in the U.S while most Cryptos are still in limbo
– BTC maxis are starting to FOMO in
– Set to replace SWIFT as the global payment standard
– Helping governments build their CBDCs
– Reserve Currency pic.twitter.com/mfgwmxTcJg— EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) May 30, 2025
XRP’s Potential Shines Through
According to Farina, XRP is gaining traction among skeptics, including Bitcoin maximalists. Davinci Jeremie, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, recently predicted that XRP will rise to $24 by the end of 2025, showing that even Bitcoin maximalists can see XRP’s potential.

A New Global Payment Standard
Farina also reiterated the long-standing position among XRP supporters that the asset is poised to challenge or replace SWIFT, the dominant messaging system used by banks for international payments. XRP’s underlying technology enables the direct transfer of value without the delays and fees associated with traditional systems.
The increasing demand for faster and more transparent payment networks could open the door for XRP to take on SWIFT’s role.
CBDC Infrastructure and Reserve Currency Goals
Another significant point made by Farina is XRP’s ongoing involvement with central banks in developing Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). France has shown interest in the XRP Ledger (XRPL) for this purpose, and Ripple has been working with the National Bank of Georgia on a CBDC project since 2023.
The XRP Ledger has been piloting programs and exploratory projects to test the feasibility of CBDC issuance. This process could aid XRP’s global expansion, adoption, and influence.
XRP’s role as a CBDC could also enhance its standing as a neutral bridge currency between fiat systems, helping it achieve its goal of becoming a global reserve currency—the final development highlighted by Farina.
