The XRP price has risen by a modest 0.5% today, moving to $0.523 to offset some losses following the SEC’s appeal against Ripple. XRP remains down 11.5% in a week, 6% in a month, and 2% in a year, disappointing many holders compared to other major tokens that have seen substantial gains in the last 12 months. Legal experts suggest that despite the SEC’s appeal, things may turn out positively for Ripple, with hopes for a settlement before the issue even goes to appeal. Attorneys like Jeremy Hogan are confident that the SEC is likely to lose the appeal, and Fred Rispoli raises the possibility of a settlement between Ripple and the SEC to avoid further legal uncertainty.
The mandatory mediation program in the appellate courts encourages parties to settle early, and there is speculation about a potential settlement between Ripple and the SEC to avoid a long legal battle. Ripple may prefer an early settlement to avoid legal uncertainty that could affect its performance for another one or two years. The XRP price has been affected by the legal issues but is showing signs of improvement as buyers are looking to buy the coin at a discount. The coin’s RSI and moving averages indicate a period of recovery, with whales taking the opportunity to buy the dip. The XRP price could potentially reach $0.6 by the end of the month and $0.80 by December.
As XRP enters a potentially difficult period, many traders may prefer to diversify and invest in smaller alts with more upside potential. Presale tokens, if they generate enough momentum during their sales, can rally strongly. One such coin with momentum is layer-two project Pepe Unchained (PEPU), which has raised over $17.3 million in its popular sale. Pepe Unchained is launching its L2 network for Ethereum, providing fast transactions and low fees, aiming to become an ecosystem for meme tokens. With instant bridging between Ethereum and its own Pepe Chain and double the staking rewards, Pepe Unchained is gaining popularity with over 28,000 followers on its official X account.
Investors can join PEPU’s sale at the coin’s official website, where it’s selling at $0.00991 per token. The price will increase in approximately eleven hours, so newcomers should act quickly to get PEPU at the lowest available price.
