Ripple on the Rise: Can Gensler's Departure Propel XRP to $3?

SEC Chairman Gensler's Potential Departure and Ripple's Legal Battle

Discussions about SEC Chairman Gary Gensler potentially stepping down are increasing, particularly due to ongoing legal issues with Ripple Labs. There are rumors that his departure could lead to a more favorable regulatory environment for cryptocurrencies. Ripple Labs is currently in a critical lawsuit with the SEC over whether its XRP token is a security, which could significantly impact the broader cryptocurrency market.

Increased Whale Activity in XRP Transactions

Recent activity shows a rise in large XRP transactions, indicating that major investors, often called "whales," are moving their assets, likely in anticipation of market changes.

SG-FORGE's EURCV Launch on the XRP Ledger

In a notable development, Societe Generale-FORGE (SG-FORGE) plans to launch its euro-pegged stablecoin, EUR CoinVertible (EURCV), on the XRP Ledger in 2025. This aligns with SG-FORGE’s strategy to utilize multiple blockchains and comply with European regulations, emphasizing transparency and consumer protection. The use of the XRP Ledger promises fast and low-cost transactions, boosting the utility of XRP in global finance.

XRPUSD breaks significant resistance at $1 after a long consolidation. It hit a high of $1.26 and is currently trading around $1.160.
