**XRP Faces Volatility Amid Legal Uncertainty**

The U.S. regulator's latest appeal in its case against Ripple is stirring the pot for XRP investors. Despite not directly challenging the ruling that XRP isn't a security, the appeal seeks a review of Ripple's XRP sales and those by its top execs.

Crypto analyst Ryan Lee from Bitget predicts XRP's price could swing between $0.50 and $0.80 by year-end, hinging on regulatory outcomes. This legal limbo might keep XRP's price volatile, with its highest this year being $0.71 in March. Currently, XRP trades at $0.55.

Ripple's legal battles could drag on until mid-2025, adding to the uncertainty. A favorable ruling might boost XRP, while a negative one could dent its value. Investors are advised to stay cautious as the regulatory landscape remains murky.
