- A final ruling in the long-running Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit is expected by late summer or early fall 2025
- Ripple continues to expand its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) service globally in markets like the UAE and Japan
- The prospect of an XRP ETF remains on hold pending the conclusion of the SEC case and regulatory clarity
Vincent Van Code, a known crypto influencer and developer, shared some interesting thoughts on X. He made a bold XRP price prediction of $30-$50, saying: “My opinion is $30-$50 XRP. And this is no shill, I don’t expect anyone to agree with me. But my investment in XRP is based on this opinion.”
Van Code didn’t offer a timeline to go with his prediction, and he specifically emphasized that he believes it’s okay for people to share their opinions, no matter how big or small.
This resonated through the crypto community because XRP is one of the most controversial coins in the crypto industry; some see XRP as a dinosaur doomed to stagnate while others think it’s about to break out.
Van Code didn’t specify why he predicts such a number, but it’s likely he believes in a positive outcome in the longstanding SEC lawsuit against Ripple Labs. There were some partial wins for Ripple in the court before, but the final conclusion is drawing near. Both Ripple and SEC filed remedies briefs in April, and the court’s final ruling could come by late summer or early fall 2025.
The final settlement could remove legal uncertainty and open the door for relisting on US exchanges and institutional products.
Ripple is expanding
The company continues to sign deals worldwide, such as UAE, Singapore, and Japan, where Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) is active with remittance providers.
Not long ago, Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse reiterated that the company is looking at IPO options after the SEC case ends.

Interestingly enough, there has been growing chatter about ETFs recently, and if any XRP ETFs get a green light, the price might increase. However, at the moment, this will all have to wait, considering that on June 2, it was reported that the SEC has indefinitely halted its approval for a Grayscale ETF that includes Solana, XRP, and Cardano, in addition to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Taking into account all of the above, some crypto community members are naturally skeptical of Van Code’s prediction. Still, in a world of ETF approvals, regulatory shifts, and tokenization of assets, even lagging tokens can see renewed narratives.
