This was supposed to be a massive news, those who have been investing in XRP for over 4 or 5 years had been waiting for this news for years and it hardly went up at all.
I will continue to hold my XRP for the long term as feel the real price action will come in the next bull run in 2028/29.
I think it could potentially reach $3-5 in the next 12 months but that's not enough for me to sell I want $20+ and I think that will come in 4 years or so.
I think the problem is the huge number of tokens in circulation. Aside from the fact that Ripple (the company) controls a large portion of the circulating supply, and the XRP Ledger itself is utterly-centralized. That's what is holding XRP back. Ripple should sell its holdings OTC, to save the cryptocurrency itself. By leaving everything in the hands of the community, the project will flourish like never before. Developers can decide to burn XRP per transaction to further boost its price. Or they could simply reduce inflation on the protocol.
I'm yet to see if XRP will have success with American regulators further down the road. The SEC may have backed down, but that doesn't mean it will be "reds and roses" from now on. What if Kamala Harris and her team win in November? Then, XRP and the rest of the crypto industry will experience more pain in the long run. The future can't be predicted, so lets hope for the best.
