If the xrp is able to win the case with SEC, then the exchanges which announced that they delist XRP, they will re-list it back making the hype and price rise for the xrp. Recently the hash tag Relist XRP was trending. I still not advise people to invest in XRP but those who are holding XRP should wait and hope they could sell at good price.
There is a great probability that XRP might need to pay some fees to settle this current lawsuit. As it's not the first time, SEC announced any lawsuit on crypto projects because previously SEC was suing Kin Token or Kik team for doing ico which was solved by paying settlement fee from kik team in 2020. So, Ripple is on the way to get a notice of settlement, IMHO. After tha, Ripple might back to its bullish position like you said.
So money can buy anything and even turn the law in favor of you. If the ripple team has been dumping on the people for all those years, now they can continue their business by just giving some bribe to the SEC. Although many of us are here to make trading with ripple and increase our bitcoin but we should see how things are being unfolded and what the power of money.
