XRP Bulls Eye $5 as Market Gains Regulatory Clarity
Ripple's XRP token has had a tumultuous six years, struggling to gain traction from late 2020 till late 2024 due to an SEC lawsuit. The asset hit a new all-time high of $3.65 in July 2025 after the suit was settled, but a bear market followed and its price plummeted by more than 70%.
Despite this, XRP has all the necessary ingredients for another bull run. Regulatory clarity is one factor, as the SEC's lawsuit against Ripple came to an end in 2025 with a US judge ruling that the sale of XRP to retail customers did not fall under securities laws.
XRP also saw the launch of several spot ETFs in late 2025, which could contribute to its price growth. The cryptocurrency market tends to follow a four-year pattern, with Bitcoin hitting new peaks in 2017, 2021, and 2025. If this pattern persists, we could see another bull run peak in 2029, potentially starting in 2027.
