Trading Veteran Lists Factors to Send XRP to Double Digits

XRP has shown significant resilience recently, and this stellar performance has prompted Jay Grissom, a seasoned full-stack developer and long-term trader, to outline several key factors that could propel XRP’s price into double digits. These factors encompass regulatory developments, ecosystem expansions, and market dynamics.

Regulatory Clarity and Market Sentiment

A pivotal catalyst for XRP’s potential surge is regulatory clarity. Grissom points to the surge in Ethereum’s price following increased regulatory certainty as a precedent. While Ethereum’s journey from $7 to $1,500 spanned several years, the correlation between regulatory clarity and price appreciation is evident.

The legal battle between Ripple and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) hindered the digital asset’s growth. However, Grissom is optimistic that a favorable resolution could significantly boost investor confidence.

The judge has ruled that Ripple will pay $125 million as a penalty, and the XRP community is excited, as almost four years of struggles and uncertainty have ended. The next few months will tell if the aftermath of the ruling can bring positive momentum into the XRP ecosystem.

Ecosystem Growth and Utility

The introduction of Ripple’s stablecoin, RLUSD, on the XRP Ledger is another factor that could drive XRP’s price upward. Stablecoins can lead to increased network activity and utility as traders and investors seek to leverage the new asset.

Grissom expects a similar outcome for XRP when RLUSD launches. He cites the example of BNB, the native token of the BNB Chain, which experienced a substantial price increase following the launch of the now-defunct BUSD stablecoin.

Other Notable Bullish Factors

The recent listing of XRP-based Exchange Traded Products (ETPs) on Nasdaq Stockholm and the Nordic Growth Market is a positive development. While the full impact of these ETPs on XRP’s price remains to be seen, they offer increased accessibility for investors seeking exposure to the cryptocurrency.

Furthermore, the announcement of an official XRP price index by the CME Group is seen by Grissom as a bullish indicator. This development suggests growing institutional interest and could pave the way for increased XRP adoption in traditional financial markets.

The cyclical nature of the cryptocurrency market, marked by periods of altcoin rallies following Bitcoin halvings, also presents an opportunity for XRP. Historically, these periods have been characterized by significant price increases for various altcoins, including XRP.

Finally, the acquisition of Ripple partner Bitstamp by Robinhood is expected to expand XRP’s reach to a broader retail investor base. XRP is trading at $0.6023, up 18.95% following the end of the XRP lawsuit. Many experts believe more surges are coming, the next few days and weeks will tell if XRP can capitalize on this momentum and keep rising.
