I believe Ripple and the SEC will ultimately strike an agreement, which might result in some minor profits. But, as always, do your own homework and remain up to date on the legal status of XRP and any other cryptocurrency you're considering investing in.
I'm not sure what middle ground or agreement will they have, it's either a win or a big L for them, not concessions whatever from SEC. It used to be a good project, and I will say that I have been a holder and earn a lot during those times wherein they still don't have this lawsuit filed on them.
But know it's different, all time high is 2018, which means it didn't have any push in 2020-2021 massive bull run.
Which shows that investors are staying away until we know what is the score with SEC.
