Many people are losing hope for Ripple because it is behind major coins the market especially right now that most of the coins are creating new ATHs. Some are even looking at this coin as the most manipulated in particular with CBDC. Well, my personal take is to either move away from it and free yourself from stress if you're in doubt of Ripple. There are other coins to watch out such as SUI and ETH if you're after altcoins. But I do think XRP could still make it up for this year, keep in mind that Altcoin season hasn't started yet and that might be the biggest thing to trigger an ATH for XRP. Another to consider is its lawsuit which might also be a factor why its market price is being held because many investors are still in doubt as the case rolls still. There are mixed of assumptions for this token at this moment. But no matter how we look at it, XRP is for people who gets its trend and understands how this coin moves during both uptrend and downtrend.
I think lawsuit is already far behind, it's just that XRP is lacking in growth, the XRP price trend always deviates from general crypto sentiment as well, just see right now when any coin just becoming bullish, XRP just stay silent, but when market possibly bearish, XRP can just pump out of nowhere. which is quite funny.
I think maybe, I can think of investing in XRP once the bitcoin's bullrun finally settles dust. but for now, it's among the most underperforming altcoin.
arguably, some people might see something in it, maybe CBDC integration and so on that could possibly help XRP garner attention but seeing from the chart, I don't think it's that great.
