According to PANews, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, has criticized the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) recent appeal brief, describing it as a reiteration of previously unsuccessful arguments. Alderoty suggested that these arguments might be abandoned under a future administration. He emphasized that the SEC's lawsuit is merely noise and stated that Ripple will formally respond to the appeal. Alderoty also expressed optimism about the emergence of a regulatory era that is more supportive of innovation, noting that Ripple continues to grow and strengthen.

According to Foresight News, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has filed a preliminary appeal brief in the Ripple case.

According to Cointelegraph, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is proceeding with its enforcement actions against Ripple, despite impending changes in its leadership. On January 14, Ripple's Chief Legal Officer, Stuart Alderoty, announced that the SEC would not delay filing a brief in its appeal against a judgment involving the blockchain company. In August, a judge ruled that Ripple was liable for $125 million, accusing the firm of using XRP as an unregistered security to raise funds. Alderoty criticized the SEC's actions, describing them as a "waste of time and taxpayer dollars." However, he expressed confidence in Ripple's position on appeal and anticipated working with the new SEC leadership to resolve the issue. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse supported Alderoty's statement, suggesting that the SEC's approach to cryptocurrency enforcement might shift following the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump on January 20. Trump had previously promised to dismiss SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who is set to resign on the same day. The civil case against Ripple, initiated in December 2020 during Trump's first term under SEC Chair Jay Clayton, is moving to an appellate court following the August 2024 decision. The SEC is appealing a ruling where a federal judge determined that the XRP token did not necessarily qualify as a security. Alderoty noted that Ripple's appeal would not address this aspect of the judgment. It remains uncertain whether the next SEC head, whom Trump intends to nominate as former commissioner Paul Atkins, will continue the case against Ripple, pending Senate approval. Alderoty has personally contributed over $300,000 to fundraising and political action committees (PACs) supporting Trump. Additionally, Ripple has donated $45 million to the Fairshake PAC, which spent more than $100 million on media campaigns backing "pro-crypto" candidates in the 2024 election cycle. Following the November 5 elections, Ripple announced an additional $25 million donation to the PAC for the 2026 midterms.

According to Odaily, JPMorgan estimates that exchange-traded products (ETPs) for XRP and SOL could see nearly $15 billion in net inflows. Matthew Sigel, Head of Digital Asset Research at VanEck, noted that this forecast considers the market capitalization and ETP flow performance of BTC and ETH. In its first year of trading, BTC ETPs reached an asset management scale of $108 billion, representing 6% of BTC's total market capitalization of $1.8 trillion. Similarly, ETH ETPs accumulated $12 billion in assets within six months, accounting for 3% of its market capitalization of $395 billion. Using these adoption rates as benchmarks, SOL ETP inflows could range between $3 billion and $6 billion, while XRP ETP inflows might be between $4 billion and $8 billion. A recent report by CoinShares indicates that SOL ETP assets under management (AUM) are close to $1.6 billion, and XRP ETP AUM has reached $910 million, with net flows for 2024 projected at $438 million and $69 million, respectively.

According to Odaily, U.S. District Judge Phyllis J. Hamilton has approved the request by Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to seal certain court documents. This decision allows both parties to keep sensitive information confidential as the case progresses. The sealed documents include crucial evidence related to summary judgment and expert testimony, which are vital to the case. The court's decision was made under the Ninth Circuit's 'compelling reasons' standard. Ripple sought to seal eight pieces of evidence related to summary judgment and 56 pieces opposing the SEC's motion. Meanwhile, the SEC requested to seal parts of its evidence, including expert testimony.

According to Cointelegraph, XRP is positioned for a potential 60% increase following its breakout from a symmetrical triangle pattern. This bullish outlook coincides with recent developments in Ripple's legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Symmetrical triangles are typically seen as bullish continuation patterns when prices break above their upper trendlines with increased trading volumes. XRP entered this breakout phase on January 11, suggesting a potential price target of $4, calculated by adding the pattern's maximum height to the breakout point. Independent market analyst World of Charts suggests that XRP could reach this level in the coming days. However, as of January 12, XRP showed signs of retreating towards the triangle's lower trendline at approximately $2.37. A decline below this support could invalidate the breakout scenario and increase the likelihood of a drop towards the lower trendline, aligning with the 50-12H exponential moving average at around $2.30. Maintaining a position above the upper trendline is crucial for keeping the probability of reaching the $4 target high. XRP's breakout coincided with a minor legal victory for Ripple against the SEC. On January 11, a federal judge approved a motion to file certain documents under seal, protecting sensitive information in the ongoing legal proceedings. This ruling comes as the SEC faces a January 15 deadline to file its appeal-related opening brief, challenging key rulings in the Ripple case. The SEC's October Notice of Appeal indicated plans to contest the Summary Judgment, including Judge Analisa Torres' decision that XRP's regular sales did not meet the Howey Test's criteria. This appeal has contributed to XRP's price volatility since July 2023. Despite changes in SEC leadership, with Chair Gary Gensler departing on January 20 and former Commissioner Paul Atkins expected to take over, the agency remains committed to pursuing the appeal. In December 2024, Gensler promoted senior crypto-enforcement lawyers to ensure continuity in the case. However, legal experts anticipate that Atkins could reverse the SEC's aggressive stance on crypto, fostering cautious optimism among investors. John Reed Stark, former chief of the SEC Office of Internet Enforcement, noted that Atkins favors free markets and opposes over-regulation, which could benefit the crypto industry. Stark also mentioned that Atkins believes SEC Enforcement can be overly aggressive and inconsistent, suggesting that reforming SEC Enforcement might be a priority under his leadership. Optimism is growing that incoming SEC leadership under Atkins may adopt a more favorable stance toward Ripple and crypto regulation, potentially reducing legal uncertainties and supporting XRP's price increase.

XRP, the payments-focused cryptocurrency, is poised for a potential 40% price increase as technical analysis and improving market sentiment point to bullish momentum. The so-called "Trump effect," coupled with favorable regulatory shifts in the U.S., has fueled optimism among traders.Bullish Technical Patterns Signal Major GainsDescending Triangle Breakout in PlaySince peaking at $2.9 in December, XRP has carved out a "descending triangle" pattern. This technical formation features a horizontal support line, indicating consistent demand near $2.00, and a declining upper trendline, representing weakening bounces.According to CoinDesk analyst Omkar Godbole, descending triangles typically resolve with either a downside break or a bullish breakout, with bullish patterns producing average gains of 47%. If XRP breaks above its declining upper trendline, prices could surge 40% or more, resuming the bullish trend that started from November's lows near $0.50.“All bets are off if prices diverge from the pattern and move below the horizontal support line near $2.00,” Godbole added.Social Sentiment and the Trump EffectOptimism Outpaces Bitcoin and EthereumSocial sentiment for XRP remains highly positive. Data from Santiment shows that XRP enjoys higher optimism than Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH), with increased mentions across social media platforms.Policy Expectations Under TrumpXRP’s price has surged over 300% since November, driven by expectations of crypto-friendly policies under President-elect Donald Trump. Ripple Labs, the firm behind XRP, anticipates a more favorable regulatory landscape, particularly following the departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler, who was viewed as crypto-skeptical.Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed optimism, noting that the incoming administration ends "years of regulatory limbo" and has already opened new business opportunities. Ripple Labs has signed more U.S. deals in the last six weeks of 2024 than in the previous six months.Ripple President Monica Long added to the bullish outlook, hinting that an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) could become a reality soon, aligning with expectations of a pro-crypto regulatory shift.Key Levels to Watch for XRPTo confirm the bullish breakout, XRP must break above the descending triangle's upper trendline. If prices fall below the $2.00 support, the bullish thesis would be invalidated.With technical patterns and social sentiment aligning, XRP is positioned for a potential 40% move higher, further fueled by the "Trump effect" and shifting U.S. regulatory tides, according to CoinDesk.

XRP price has dropped by 5% today as bearish on-chain metrics and technical indicators weigh heavily on the altcoin. Over the last 24 hours, XRP’s price fell by 4.8%, aligning with a broader market decline that saw the total crypto market cap slide by 6.5% to $3.35 trillion. The price drop was accompanied by a 114% surge in trading volume, highlighting significant sell-side activity.What’s Behind XRP’s Price Decline?$4.5 Million in XRP Long Positions LiquidatedMassive liquidations in XRP’s derivatives market have fueled the price decline. Data from CoinGlass shows that over $12.92 million worth of long positions were liquidated in the past 24 hours, compared to only $3.86 million in short positions. This forced selling has intensified the downward pressure.These liquidations mirror the $72.6 million in long liquidations seen between Dec. 18 and Dec. 20, which led to a 23% price drop, bringing XRP to a low of $1.95.Adding to the bearish sentiment, XRP’s funding rates have turned negative, dropping from 0.21% on Jan. 7 to -0.11% on Jan. 8. A negative funding rate indicates increased short interest and declining demand for long positions, with open interest dropping by $300 million in the same period.Long-Term Holders Offloading XRPOn-chain data reveals that long-term holders are contributing to the sell-off. According to Santiment, XRP’s Dormant Circulation Supply (356D)—tracking tokens unmoved for over a year—spiked from 8.3 million on Jan. 4 to 208.3 million by Jan. 7.This suggests long-term investors sold over $467 million worth of XRP, adding significant selling pressure and contributing to the 7.2% price drop since Jan. 4.Key Technical Levels to Watch for XRPXRP’s price continues to face resistance at the upper boundary of a descending parallel channel, currently at $2.45. If bulls fail to flip this level into support, the altcoin risks further decline to $2.15, supported by the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA). A break below $2.15 could lead to a deeper drop toward $2.00.The Relative Strength Index (RSI) currently sits at 53, suggesting a neutral stance, leaving room for a breakout in either direction. XRP needs to overcome the $2.45 resistance level for a bullish reversal.Outlook for XRP PriceDespite the current bearish momentum, some analysts remain optimistic. Crypto analyst Steph Is Crypto predicts XRP could still break out of its bull flag formation and potentially reach $5.60.Market Sentiment and TrendsThe ongoing price movement underscores the influence of derivatives market dynamics, long-term holder activity, and key technical levels. Traders are advised to monitor XRP’s funding rates, trading volume, and resistance levels to anticipate future price action, according to Cointelegraph.
