XRP News Today: XRP Rises 11% After SEC Dismisses Ripple Case Spurring $12.4 Billion Trading Surge

XRP surged past $3.25 following the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) dismissal of its long-standing case against Ripple Labs, marking a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency. The price jumped 11% in the 24-hour period ending August 11, moving from $2.90 to a high of $3.27 before settling at $3.22 [1]. Institutional interest appears to be a key driver behind the rally, with trading volumes increasing substantially in the wake of the regulatory development [2].

The resolution of the Ripple-SEC case appears to have removed a major overhang for XRP investors, leading to renewed optimism in the market. According to CoinCentral, the dismissal drove institutional trading volumes up 208%, reaching $12.40 billion during the period [3]. Analysts have also noted the potential for further gains, with some suggesting that XRP could test the $5 level during the next major price rally, especially if regulatory clarity continues to improve [4].

Technical analysis indicates that $3.00 is a key support level for XRP, and the current price action suggests bullish momentum remains intact despite minor pullbacks. Blockchair reported that XRP held strong at $3.25 following the SEC settlement, maintaining a positive trajectory in the short term [5]. While no official price targets from Ripple have been released, the market sentiment has clearly shifted in favor of the asset.

The broader cryptocurrency market has also shown signs of stabilization, with Ether volatility spiking on the same rally that saw XRP gain traction [6]. However, XRP’s move appears to be more directly tied to the legal resolution with the SEC than to broader market trends. As the case continues to evolve and regulatory clarity expands, investors remain closely watching for further developments that could shape XRP’s next move.
