XRP’s price has been the subject of massive speculation throughout the past months, especially in light of the most recent developments in Ripple’s case against the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.
As it’s clearly seen in the above chat, XRP’s price has actually declined throughout the past three months, making the pump following the ruling of Judge Analisa Torres look like a deviation.
However, this has had many analysts and speculators discuss the prospects of XRP reaching the coveted $1 in 2023. While the prospect of such an increase is currently looking slim, ChatGPT outlined a few conditions that could direct its price in a positive direction.
The Market Matters
The cryptocurrency market is known for the fact that whatever Bitcoin’s price does, altcoins tend to follow. ChatGPT confirms this by stating that “positive sentiment in the overall cryptocurrency market can attract more investors, potentially driving up demand and price.”
To that, however, the AI-based chatbot also noted:
Economic events, such as inflation, currency devaluation, or geopolitical tensions, could drive individuals and institutions to seek alternative stores of value, potentially benefiting cryptocurrencies like XRP.
It’s also worth noting that market awareness might play a huge role in XRP’s future price in 2023. ChatGPT said that increased adoption of XRP for various use cases could contribute to its price appreciation.
But there’s clearly something hampering XRP’s current adoption.
Regulatory Clarity and the Ripple v. SEC Case
The case between Ripple Labs and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has been going on since 2020, and it has obviously had its impact on the cryptocurrency.
CryptoPotato recently reported on the multiple ways the legal battle has hurt XRP’s adoption rates, as explained by a well-known pro-XRP lawyer, John E. Deaton.
ChatGPT said:
Regulatory developments and clarity regarding the legal status of XRP can have a significant impact on its price. Favorable regulations may boost investor confidence and increase adoption.
Although unlikely in that timeframe, a definitive victory for Ripple in its case against the SEC could catapult XRP’s price just like the ruling of Judge Torres did earlier in July. However, if the case is finally settled, this might alleviate a lot of the concerns that institutional investors might currently have when it comes to XRP’s legal status.
