XRP Drops 4% As Judge Rejects $50M SEC-Ripple Settlement Bid
On June 26, 2025, the XRP price dropped 3.30% and currently trades at $2.105 after the Federal court rejected Ripple’s proposed $50M settlement bid. The Federal court ruled the motion “procedurally improper,” leaving the case on appeal. The decision preserves Ripple’s $125 million penalty for $1.3 billion in unregistered XRP sales, triggering an immediate drop in the token’s value as investors face prolonged uncertainty.
Ripple CLO Stuart Alderoty provided clarification on this regard:
“Either way, XRP’s legal status as not a security remains unchanged. In the meantime, it’s business as usual.”
Pro-XRP lawyer John E Deaton added,
“Although I believed she would ultimately grant the indicative ruling, I can’t say I’m shocked.
Here’s what investors can expect from XRP in the coming days.
What’s Next For XRP Price & Investors?
The 205-day consolidation for XRP price has created a value area, extending from $2.07 to $2.54. This is where 70% of the trading volume occurred, making it a key range.
Therefore, the key support level that needs to be held is $2.07 or the $2 psychological level. Despite this legal development against Ripple, if the token rebounds above $2.07, it would signal a demand from buyers. On the contrary, a breakdown would signal, lawsuit-driven crash.
Bearish Case: A breakdown of $2 could trigger a revisit of the immediate support levels at $1.95 and $1.61, respectively. These key levels are pivotal as buyers previously stepped in, catalyzing reversals. However, if the short-term footholds fail to hold, investors will need to direct their attention to $1.47 – this level served as a refueling point for buyers before the token nearly doubled in just nine days.
Therefore, $1.47 is the likely support to watch if the legal development-driven crash extends amid investors’ panic.
Bullish Case: A bounce off the $2, on the other hand, could trigger a 16% rally to $2.406, which is the Point of Control (POC) – the highest traded volume level in the past 205 days. Beyond this, the token’s price could revisit the range high at $2.54. However, the key hurdle that investors can consider booking profits is the $3 level.
This legal development comes after Ripple co-founder ended a 14-year silence, pushing XRP higher amid escalating geopolitical tensions due to the Iran-Israel war. Regardless, investors can expect a volatile outlook for the token.
