Top 3 Reasons why XRP should reach 1$?
#1 Montenegro Partners with Ripple
The Central Bank of Montenegro is partnering with blockchain provider Ripple to develop a pilot program for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), despite using the euro as its de facto currency. The program will identify practical applications for a CBDC and analyze its advantages and risks, including compliance with regulations and protection of end-users rights and privacy.
Montenegro has adopted the euro without joining the eurozone, and the European Central Bank and EU are considering introducing a digital euro. Over 100 countries are exploring the possibility of issuing a CBDC.
#2 XRP Broke the 50 cents Price Mark
From a technical perspective, it looks like XRP broke the downtrend it established back in April 2021. Looking at Figure 1 below, we can clearly see how XRP was in a downtrend, consolidated since June 2022, then broke the downtrend line. If XRP maintains a level higher than 50 cents, we can confirm higher highs in the medium term.
However, any break of this 50 cents price mark can send XRP back to a price of around 40 cents.
#3 Ripple still has a pending SEC Lawsuit
Many experts already speculated that Ripple is about to win the lawsuit. In fact, the resolution was supposed to happen at the beginning of 2023, but many factors contributed to the delay of the resolution such as slow legal processes, the complexity of the case, a backlog of cases, settlement negotiations, and an appeals process.
If Ripple wins the SEC lawsuit as expected, XRP price should soar high.
