The price of XRP, the popular remittance alternative crypto currency, has found its foot at $2.20, a crucial support level. Tuesday’s 2% upswing for Ripple (XRP) price comes amidst a 22% drop in trading volume on Spot market, raising eyebrows among meticulous crypto market watchers.

Out of the $1.86 billion in trading volume, one massive Ripple transaction saw 50,000,000 XRP flipping between crypto wallets, but other crypto whales remain silent. Most likely, the major XRP coin holders are awaiting the outcome of two legal developments this month.

Here’s What XRP Holders Are Looking Out For

Firstly, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is due to complete a bi-monthly report on the case by June 16, 2025. Just one day after this, Franklin Templeton’s Ripple ETF shall receive a significant, if not final decision on the XRP ETF pitch. In contrast, Grayscale’s Ripple ETF submission is not due for consideration up until mid October, 2025.

In a fresh interview for Bloomberg, Ripple’s Boss Brad Garlinghouse acknowledged there’s stumbling blocks in terms of regulations around XRP, just as any other crypto currency, when it comes to full-fledged adoption. However, from the get-go, Ripple has worked with regulators and banks, where there isn’t regulatory uncertainty.

So, is XRP the next Bitcoin (BTC)? “If we work with the system to solve this problem at scale”, then yes, believes Brad Garlinghouse. Such moves potentially open up trillions of dollars in market value.

To illustrate, XRP & SWIFT integration would enable Ripple’s XRPL network to participate in a $150 trillion market, which is nearly 50 times larger than all crypto currencies combined at present time.
