An almost 5-year-long XRP headwind has cleared with the Ripple SEC case closed, adding to bullishness building for the XRP price outlook . After a joint stipulation of dismissal on August 7, today’s litigation release marks the final nail in the coffin, with the SEC formally giving up its right to pursue further legal action.

However, the main impact comes as SEC Chair Paul Atkins cited the development as an “opportunity to shift our energy from the courtroom to the policy drafting table.” That policy focus comes as lawmakers advance the CLARITY ACT, a bill that could unlock sidelined demand from TradFi markets waiting on regulatory clarity. : The CLARITY Act just made things simple: If a blockchain is decentralized → It’s a commodity (CFTC) If it’s not → It’s a security (SEC) That means projects like $XRP could finally get the green light! pic.twitter.com/oB7bWNCf7B — Xaif Crypto | (@Xaif_Crypto) July 21, 2025 This opens the door for new demand, such as with the Trump-signed executive order granting crypto assets exposure to the $9 trillion 401(k) retirement investment market . Alongside the October 17 deadline for a potential spot XRP ETF, pending SEC approval, XRP could attract significant retail and institutional interest. XRP Price Analysis: Policy Shift Could Fuel $10 XRP The momentum created by a policy push from the SEC could see XRP continue on the breakout path of a bull flag pattern forming since the November post-election rally. XRP / USDT 1-day chart, bull flag breakout continues. Source: TradingView, Binance. While momentum cooled after the mid-June market top, indicators now point to a bullish continuation. The RSI has maintained its position above the signal line at 55, suggesting that buyers are pushing the current market move. The MACD line also hinges on a golden cross, moving in close parallel with the signal line, often a sign that a mid-term uptrend is taking hold on the daily chart. A breakout continuation could drive XRP 55% higher to reclaim the $5 milestone, setting the stage to challenge its 2018 all-time high of $5.56 and enter new price discovery. However, fully realised the pattern could see the rally extend to $10 for a potential 215% gain, supported by catalysts such as 401(k) adoption and a spot XRP ETF approval with the added fuel of rate cuts. Softer-than-expected inflation data has strengthened expectations for up to three rate cuts before year-end, starting as early as September, with the potential to stimulate new inflows into risk assets like cryptocurrencies. There is now an 84.5% chance of a rate cut in September. Keep your eyes on inflation and labor market data this week. CPI will be released today, initial jobless claims tomorrow, and PPI on Thursday. Expect high volatility. pic.twitter.com/BVa9AIzBYX — Crypto Rover (@rovercrc) August 12, 2025 Is This the Biggest Setup in Crypto?
