XRP has been the subject of contrasting viewpoints regarding its future. While its price performance hasn’t mirrored the highs of other cryptocurrencies during this bull run, prominent figures like “Crypto Bitlord” believe a significant event could be imminent, potentially impacting its value.
A Bullish Outlook Despite Subdued Performance
Crypto Bitlord, a veteran crypto analyst, recently expressed a bullish sentiment on XRP through a social media post. Their message emphasized the potential for a substantial event to transpire soon, urging investors to be strategically prepared for its ramifications on XRP’s price.

This perspective comes amidst XRP’s price decline over the past week. Notably, unlike other prominent altcoins that surged close to their all-time highs earlier this year, XRP’s rally peaked at $0.74, falling short of its yearly high. According to data from CoinMarketCap, XRP trades at $0.4357 currently.
Community Divided on the Nature of the Impending Event
While Crypto Bitlord’s prediction sparks anticipation, the exact nature of the anticipated event remains a topic of debate within the XRP community.
Edo Farina, a prominent figure within the XRP ecosystem, expressed skepticism. He argues that significant developments for XRP have already occurred.
Farina highlights XRP’s unique position as the only cryptocurrency potentially possessing regulatory clarity within the United States and its categorization as a stablecoin suitable for cross-border payments by the World Bank. Additionally, he emphasizes the recent launch of the automated market maker (AMM) on the XRP Ledger.
Potential Catalysts for XRP Price Movement
Despite Farina’s viewpoint, commentator Alex Cobb suggests several crucial future developments that could significantly impact XRP.
The most anticipated event identified by Cobb is the final verdict in the ongoing SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit. Both parties have submitted their closing arguments regarding potential fines, with the judge’s decision pending. Legal expert Fred Rispoli predicts a final ruling on July 31st or July 13th.
The latter date holds particular significance as it coincides with the anniversary of Judge Analisa Torres’ landmark ruling in 2023, where she declared XRP not to be a security. This decision triggered a surge in XRP’s price by nearly 100% within 24 hours, reaching $0.93.
While a BlackRock XRP ETF filing is another possibility mentioned by Cobb, it appears less likely soon. Industry observers anticipate a Solana ETF to precede XRP, with VanEck already filing for one and potentially paving the way for similar filings from other issuers.

Finally, Cobb suggests the possibility of a major bank adoption announcement by Ripple or other institutional players seeking to leverage XRP’s functionalities.
The future trajectory of XRP’s price hinges on a combination of factors, including the outcome of the SEC lawsuit, potential institutional adoption, and broader market trends.
While some within the community believe significant developments have already transpired, others remain optimistic about the potential for a forthcoming event to propel XRP’s value. Regardless of the specific catalyst, XRP’s price performance in the coming months will be closely watched by investors and enthusiasts alike.
