XRP, the cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, surged to USD 2.84 on December 3, marking a 400% increase in a month, driven by positive regulatory developments, Ripple's corporate growth, and increased technological adoption. The outlook for Q1 2025 hinges on the resolution of the SEC litigation, which could provide regulatory clarity and boost demand, potentially pushing XRP above USD 5. However, ongoing regulatory uncertainty and market fluctuations may lead to price stagnation or decline.
