The Cryptocurrency Community At CoinMarketCap Has Made An XRP Price Prediction

Ripple’s XRP, the sixth-ranked cryptocurrency in terms of market capitalization, is experiencing turbulent times as the blockchain company wages a legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Given the latest developments around the digital asset’s current situation, the cryptocurrency community at CoinMarketCap has predicted that XRP will trade at $0.83 by the end of March.

The set price represents a 10.82% or $0.08 increase from its current price, which at press time amounted to $0.75. In total, the price estimate included votes from around 3,710 members of the CoinMarketCap community as of March 15.

Over the seven days before press time, the price had increased by 2.74%, from $0.73 to its current price of $0.75, according to CoinMarketCap data. Its total market capitalization at press time was over $36.19 billion, a 3.95% increase from the $34.76 billion it had a week before.

Ripple’s saga with the SEC 

As Finbold reported earlier, the blockchain payment company expects the litigation to drag on no longer than the second half of November 2022, putting its expectations somewhere between August 26 and November 18, according to a court document requesting the rescheduling of the pending class action.

The SEC had filed a lawsuit against Ripple and two of its executives in December 2022; it alleges that the blockchain company had sold its token as an investment product without SEC registration from 2013 to December 2020 – when the SEC sued. 

Ripple has argued that the XRP token was a digital asset for real-time global payments and wasn’t subject to SEC’s jurisdiction. 

Recently, its general counsel has accused the agency of using the newest evidence of the company’s proactive compliance “as a sword, or as a bludgeon.”
