Ripple’s XRP is making headlines again as its price has surged by 2.5% in a short time following a major announcement, signaling renewed market excitement and investor interest.
The buzz continues to surround the ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. SEC. While exact details are still emerging, many believe a final settlement is near. Once it’s officially confirmed, XRP could experience a strong upward rally.
In a significant update, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit has agreed to pause the current appeal between the SEC and Ripple Labs.

Just an hour ago, XRP was trading at $2.06, but it has since surged to $2.11, marking a 2.43% increase in a short period. However, currently trading at $2.09, with market cap has risen to $122 billion and while 24-hour trading volume has jumped by 14.63% to $3.28 billion.
What makes things even more interesting is that 10 XRP ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) applications are currently awaiting regulatory approval. If approved, these ETFs could bring big institutional money into XRP, just as we’ve seen with Bitcoin ETFs earlier this year.
A combination of legal clarity and ETF approvals could create the perfect storm for a sustained XRP price surge. Market sentiment is already shifting, and traders are watching closely for the next move.
For now, XRP holders have reason to be optimistic. The market is watching closely for updates on both the settlement and the ETF approvals—two events that could shape XRP’s future in a big way.
