In a recent tweet, Bitboy expressed his bullish outlook on XRP’s price trajectory, fueled by the possibility of Ripple’s IPO aligning with favorable market dynamics.

However, the analyst’s second projection of $35 showcases a more optimistic scenario. Bitboy expects Ripple’s IPO to be timed perfectly and regulatory clarity to substantially improve, which would require the XRP price to rise by 4,168%, creating tremendous excitement within the cryptocurrency community.
Back in April, BitBoy named XRP as his top altcoin picks for the next bull run, predicting its potential skyrocketing if the SEC lawsuit favored it, granting XRP the sole asset with legal and regulatory clarity. While BitBoy anticipates a price increase to these projected highs, he acknowledges that the market is unpredictable.
BitBoy also drew attention to the possibility of a “pointless, vindictive” appeal from the US SEC on the recent court ruling, which could impede XRP from breaking its ATH. Even though, the market watchers speculated about an SEC appeal, especially after SEC Chairman Gary Gensler expressed disappointment with parts of the ruling.

Impressed by this remarkable feat, Luthra asked his audience for their price projections. The majority of predictions have been bullish, given XRP’s current price movements and the increasing demand in the market.
