In fact situation can change in every moment, if the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will finally say that Ripple is innocent then its price will go to the moon very quickly. But the 18th of February as well as the 22nd of February has no proved and the results are unclear so Ripple fans and haters still have to wait for some more news.
You are looking at the bright side only which would obviously bring good results to ripple, what if the court will rule that Ripple is guilty of the charge?
What do you think will happen to the project?
On the 2nd of March Gary Gensler will be the new chairman for SEC. He's into crypto and knows very well what XRP and Ripple are.
Ripple will try to reach a settlement with the SEC and Gensler once he is announced (SEC denied a settlement earlier).
The SEC did not make a good impression at the pre-trial on the 22nd of February.
If it comes to a real court case, then it might take a few years until there is a decision, but both parties want to avoid such a long court case (especially Ripple, it will hold them from the bigger deals in the coming years).
So I guess that there will be a settlement between the SEC and Ripple in the next few months and then we will see the true value of XRP, probably past ATH.
