XRP has had a slow recovery despite a market-wide rally over the last few weeks. The asset’s lackluster performance is likely due to Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit with the US SEC (Securities and Exchange Commission).
Can Ripple’s XRP hit $0.80 this week?

Changelly also paints a similar picture for XRP, predicting the asset to hit $0.796472 on Mar. 21, 2024. Reaching $0.796472 from current levels translates to a growth of about 30.5%. However, Changelly also predicts that XRP will fall below $0.70 soon after the rally.
Ripple’s lawsuit with the SEC has been a significant barrier to XRP’s price. Although a US district court ruled partially in favor of Ripple last year, the lawsuit is now in the high court, and investors await a verdict. If the high court rules similarly to the district court, we may witness a surge in XRP’s adoption and price. Nonetheless, until we have a ruling from the US high court, XRP’s price may continue to trade at around current levels.
