Crypto analysts have suggested that the price of XRP could go as high as $0.60 following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) change of tact in its lawsuit against Ripple Labs.
Initially, the SEC went after XRP, claiming it was a digital asset security.
However, after Judge Analisa Torres ruled that XRP is not a security when sold to the general public, the SEC seemed to have made a subtle shift in its approach.
In a recent motion for an interlocutory appeal against Judge Torres’ ruling, the regulator described XRP as a computer code with no inherent value.
The wording of the SEC filing ignited hope among the crypto community that the agency would not challenge XRP’s new-found status, thus opening a path for the token to regain some of its value unimpeded.
