$XRP Pundit Says Don’t Sell Your $XRP Until These Seven Things Happen

Well-known crypto analyst Velo Maxi shares his insights on the future of XRP and outlined a series of key events that holders should watch before considering selling their tokens

1. Ripple’s RLUSD Stablecoin Launch.

2. Trump’s Potential Return

Maxi advised XRP holders to hold on to their tokens until Donald Trump officially returns to office. Trump emerged victorious in the November election. His return as the U.S. President promises to bring regulatory changes that could be favorable to cryptocurrencies, including XRP.

3. Gary Gensler’s Departure from the SEC

Potential the departure of SEC Chair Gary Gensler. Gensler announced his resignation in November, which will take effect in January.

While the court has clarified XRP’s legal status, some community members feel that the threat to XRP will not be fully over until Gensler steps down.

4. End of Ripple’s Legal Battle

Maxi also pointed to the ongoing legal case between Ripple Labs and the SEC as a crucial event. The case is currently in the appeal phase, but many market commentators believe it could settle once Trump takes office and the new pro-crypto SEC chair leads the agency.

5. Altcoin Season

6. Ripple’s Major Bank Partnership

The analyst also mentioned the possibility of Ripple announcing a significant partnership with a major financial institution. This development could positively impact XRP’s market value.

7. XRP ETF Approval

Lastly, Maxi highlighted the possibility of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) being approved. Currently, four filings are under review by the SEC. Approval is expected before the end of 2025, particularly with the new pro-crypto SEC chair.

If approved, the ETF could attract more institutional investment, potentially driving up XRP’s price and accelerating its mainstream adoption. XRP enthusiasts hope for a scenario similar to Bitcoin’s rise after its ETF approval earlier this year. Specifically, Bitcoin has surged from around $40K to over $108K since the coming of ETFs.
