XRP Price Surge Driven by Gensler Exit Rumors, Court Win, and Whale Activity – What’s Next?

• Gensler’s possible resignation and Ripple’s court victory have significantly boosted market sentiment, with hopes for more favorable regulatory treatment of XRP.
• Large transfers of XRP by whales suggest increased investor confidence, potentially driving further price surges as demand outpaces supply.

Chair Gary Gensler’s possible resignation and Ripple’s legal win in court have sparked optimism among investors. Many believe that Gensler’s exit could lead to a friendlier regulatory stance toward crypto, particularly under the newly elected Trump administration.

As previously predicted in a recent CNF update, the XRP price surge sparked hopes for new all-time highs. This market enthusiasm led to a 20% price jump in just one day, as XRP holders anticipate further gains. Following a recent tweet by Whale Alert, 105,319,692 XRP (valued at $76,560,557 USD) were transferred from Binance to an unknown wallet.

Ripple’s Court Victory Boosts Investor Sentiment

Ripple also received a favorable court ruling in its ongoing SEC case. A U.S. judge granted the company and its CEO a partial judgment while pausing certain class-action claims against them.

This decision supports Ripple’s assertion that XRP transactions on secondary markets are not securities offerings, a view that could weaken the SEC’s case against the cryptocurrency. The legal win has further lifted market confidence in XRP as Ripple edges closer to a resolution that could redefine its regulatory landscape.

Potential Price Surge of XRP

Adding to the current excitement, large XRP investors—known as “whales”—are showing increased interest. One recent transfer saw 105 million XRP, valued at $76.5 million, moved from Binance to a private wallet. Such substantial transfers suggest that big players may be holding XRP for future gains, reducing the immediate market supply.

As this demand-driven momentum continues, experts predict XRP could rally to $1.50, fueled by reduced availability on exchanges and strengthening regulatory optimism. At the time of writing, according to today’s CoinMarketCap data, Ripple has surged by 16.15% in the past day and 47.51% in the past week, reaching a current price of $0.8039.
