Rally

BlackRock

<p>XRP price is leading gains among top cryptocurrencies today as the crypto market recovered from the recent downturn. Traders anticipate this could be the start of a massive rally in XRP crypto as token value saw no clear upside momentum after the Ripple Labs vs SEC lawsuit concluded earlier this month.</p> 
<p>The company continued to grow and expand during the long-running case, but investors returns were impacted as the price didn’t climb largely.</p> 
<h2 id="xrp-price-at-the-start-of-a-big-rally">XRP Price At the Start of a Big Rally?</h2> 
<h3 id="us-sec-v-ripple-labs-ended">US SEC v. Ripple Labs Ended</h3> 
<p>Judge Analisa Torres ordered <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-vs-sec-judge-torres-ruling-could-end-crypto-lawsuits/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ripple Labs to pay $125 million</a> in penalties only to the U.S. SEC, significantly lower than $2 billion sought by the government agency. Ripple’s ODL business is not impacted much despite the injunction as the company does more such deals outside the United States.</p> 
<p>The latest ruling is considered a victory for the company and the crypto community. However, the recent crypto market crash wiped out the positive sentiment and XRP price fell below $0.50. The price has recovered 25% since then as investors remain bullish on XRP. Notably, the latest market recovery can trigger the most-awaited rally that was not witnessed after Ripple Labs’ win.</p> 
<h3 id="xrp-etf-anticipation-and-rlusd-stablecoin">XRP ETF Anticipation And RLUSD Stablecoin</h3> 
<p>Immediately after the ruling, Ripple Labs announced further plans related to RLUSD stablecoin. The crypto payments firm started <a href="https://coingape.com/ripple-stablecoin-rlusd-private-beta-live-on-xrp-ledger-ethereum-mainnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">testing its stablecoin Ripple USD</a> (RLUSD) on XRP Ledger and Ethereum.</p> 
<p>The crypto community is extremely confident about XRP ETF launch after it gets clarity from the court. The company’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the launch of an XRP index by CME and CF Benchmarks has increased the odds of XRP ETF.</p> 
<p>These developments are expected to bring massive upside momentum in XRP price. While Wall Street giants such as BlackRock denied plans to issue XRP ETF at this time, companies have started using XRP. Wells Fargo nodded to the use of XRP for loan payments and settling of credit card debts.</p> 
<p>Bitnomial Exchange, a designated contract market, has officially&nbsp;informed the CFTC&nbsp;of its plans to introduce <a href="https://coingape.com/xrp-eyes-future-listings-on-major-exchange-etf-launch-next/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">XRP/USD futures contracts</a>.</p> 
<h3 id="xrp-price-chart-forms-golden-cross-pattern">XRP Price Chart Forms Golden Cross Pattern</h3> 
<p>XRP chart has formed a bullish chart pattern called the “golden cross”. This pattern forms when a short-term moving average (MA) crossovers above a long-term moving average.</p> 
<p>In the daily timeframe, the 50-MA has crossed over 200-MA to confirm the formation of a golden cross. This resulted in XRP crypto seeing an uptick of 7% in the last 24 hours. Thus, traders are extremely bullish considering the golden cross pattern formation.</p>
