XRP has maintained its position as a significant cryptocurrency for many years, largely due to Ripple Labs facing legal challenges from the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) which have impacted its price. The outcome of the SEC lawsuit could set a precedent for the crypto market regarding the classification of cryptocurrencies as securities.

The collapse of FTX heightened fears about the SEC's power in court, but recent legal developments and the ongoing crypto market bull run have renewed hopes for XRP to surpass its previous all-time highs.

To push XRP closer to $1, several factors need to be considered. Firstly, technological advancements such as integrating automated market makers and improving user-friendliness and speed can enhance the value of XRP. Additionally, increased internal and external adoption, regulatory clarity, the upcoming Bitcoin halving, and the resolution of legal battles, including the SEC vs. Ripple and SEC vs. Coinbase cases, could all contribute to a surge in XRP's price.

Looking at XRP's price chart, while recent performance has been relatively strong, there have been fluctuations, with the token seeing a 13.67% increase over the last 52 weeks but currently down 6.53% year-to-date. Despite a slight price increase in March, XRP has declined by 8.54% in the last 30 days and 3.58% in the past 24 hours, currently priced at $0.59.
