Why Isn't XRP Rising After Ripple's SEC Win? The Analysts Explain



The XRP price has not risen much after Ripple's SEC triumph. After the SEC dismissed its appeal against Ripple, market participants predicted a record high. Investors expected a stronger surge, but XRP only rose 13% to $2.60 before falling to $2.40.

Why Is XRP Not Rising?

Merlin co-founder Johnny Krypto says XRP's absence of a significant price surge is expected. Anticipatory trading generally leads to subdued reactions when formal news emerges, he says, citing crypto and mainstream market history. “When Trump won, there was no logical reason for XRP's price to jump, but the market assumed the lawsuit would be dropped,” Johnny says. We witnessed the enormous pump then because of that.

He says the run-up from $0.50 to $2.50 in November was traders betting on Ripple's legal success. When the conclusion is certain, the market whimpers rather than bangs. According to him, “If the SEC had maintained the appeal, XRP's price would have likely plummeted instead of staying stable,” as the lack of a negative development has stopped XRP from dropping rather than pushing it to new highs.

Retail investors may lack patience due to gradual price changes, as they expect faster returns. Currently, most retail players are experiencing "pain" due to boredom, unlike in 2017, when the market experienced rapid fluctuations. However, financial markets function differently. It cycles and waves.”

Beyond legal rulings, XRP and the crypto market are vulnerable to global economic factors. President Trump's tariffs might start a US-led trade war. In particular, the 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico and the 10% tax on China have raised fears about stagflation—slow economic growth and rising inflation.

Federal Reserve monetary policy also affects attitude. On March 19, 2025, the Fed paused its rate-cutting cycle that started in September 2024 and maintained interest rates at the 4.25%–4.5% range established in late 2024.
