The XRP price prediction remains neutral as investors remain uncertain about the ongoing Ripple vs. SEC battle. Since both Ripple and the SEC have filed requests for summary judgment, it has been widely assumed that they have entered the final stages of their legal battle and that a resolution is just a matter of months away.

If confirmed, this hypothesis will significantly boost the XRP price, possibly pushing it over the current all-time high of $3.40 in the coming months. Let's take a quick look at the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit.

The SEC might ask Judge Torres to certify an appeal of the verdict if it chooses to forego the petition for reconsideration, which was due on October 13.
