XRP finally the day has come. It looks like that case is getting dropped. So what does this mean for XRP in the XRP Army? Shout out to everybody in XRP XRP Army. The case is finally won. Thank you for being long term investors. I'm very proud of you. Hopefully they can have some integration inside of the banks. I'm not sure. I haven't got any intel on which ones but now that the case is over and they've been suppressed forever, maybe a Van Eck or a Piper can do what BlackRock did to Bitcoin and find a way to use that asset to integrate it into the centralized banks. So you are going to see more massive adoption. I think all the predictions of XRP going to 25000 and all that I don't believe it's ridiculous.
Market Commentator
Ridiculous.
Crypto Analyst
Who's done that? I rock with everybody I love. I have nothing but love in my heart. They ammo but I don't think it's getting 25000 and no lifetime so but I mean can I see it going up to five bucks or seven bucks for sure but I do think that they were suppressed and as a result other coins took off and got bigger market caps and I don't know if you can capture recaptured the flame that they had for five or six years ago. Yeah they they were xrp so don't when y'all do your little think pieces. Don't don't put me in them.
Market Commentator
Yeah the the Van Echo the blackrock play is interesting. We've seen this happen for Ethereum and we thought that that might lead to some momentum and it hasn't quite worked out for Ethereum and the use cases there. XRP obviously is different, has different purpose. I think the, the closure of this case, it, I mean it does do a couple things for. It boosts confidence number one in investors in it.
Crypto Analyst
Sure.
Market Commentator
But, but it also allows it to be listed again like if the most, I mean for a long time the simplest, the most simplistic way to invest was through Coinbase. And when you went to Coinbase and tried to invest in xrp, it wasn't even an option. And so that should help it. And yeah, like again the institutional side, right, like with who will be the big tech company or the big fintech company or the, you know, the Goldman Sachs who will decide that they're going to create the ETF for it?
Crypto Analyst
Yes.
Market Commentator
If we look at the track record of who's already invested inside that space, I mean there's some signs that are pointing to it. Well, 25000 is ridiculous. But yeah, I mean getting back to 350 would be great. Getting back to Ford, getting back to 389 where it was at in like 2018. Like let's see if we can do that before we start throwing out hypothetical numbers of 7 and 10 and 25000 which would. I don't even know what that's being. What's that quadrillion status? Like, let's get back to its all time high.
Crypto Analyst
Yeah. For the love of God, Apple. I know y'all had that project and y'all been putting out nothing but that people don't want. If you adopt something crypto related like you were supposed to and I pitched for y'all to do four years ago. This may just be a step in the right direction because you already have the partnership and works in 2017 and 2018. Damn, it sucks when other tech companies in the Big seven treat Apple like the failure of the group. Now Apple, I love you dearly. Can we write this before it's too late, my boy? These are my thoughts and my thoughts on the Ian Dunlap and Red Panda llc. Okay.
Market Commentator
Yeah. Amazon's partner with, with the rip. I saw somebody put that in the chat, so that was promising. But we'll see. I mean it's still early. I feel like the space is so early. This being lifted definitely helps any type of partnerships with any of those max sevens. But yeah, Amazon was involved. We'll see what that relationship pans out to be post this decision.
Crypto Analyst
Yeah, somebody said Tesla's a step is the failure of the Max 7.
Market Commentator
Right now.
Crypto Analyst
But when you have the ear of the president and that has always been volatile, he's one or two hedge fund managers away and also too, he's going to weaponize these attacks at the dealerships for his benefit and he's like those cyber trucks are going to become MAGA mobiles for that base. When you have the president saying buy this, it's an American treasure that does have some credence to a particular audience.

Market Mondays: XRP's Legal Victory & Market Implications
Episode Overview In this episode of Market Mondays, hosted by the EYL Network, Ian Dunlap and the team delve into the recent legal developments surrounding XRP and explore the potential market implications of this victory. The discussion provides investors with strategic insights into how XRP's legal triumph could influence its adoption, market position, and future prospects.
1. XRP's Legal Victory
Crypto Analyst opens the discussion by highlighting the significant development in XRP's legal battle:
“XRP finally the day has come. It looks like that case is getting dropped. So what does this mean for XRP in the XRP Army? Shout out to everybody in XRP XRP Army. The case is finally won. Thank you for being long term investors. I'm very proud of you.”
[01:01]
This victory marks the end of a prolonged legal struggle, boosting confidence among XRP holders and potentially paving the way for increased adoption.
2. Market Implications and Adoption Potential
The conversation shifts to the broader market implications of the legal win. Crypto Analyst speculates on XRP's integration into traditional financial systems:
“Hopefully they can have some integration inside of the banks. I'm not sure. I haven't got any intel on which ones but now that the case is over and they've been suppressed forever, maybe a Van Eck or a Piper can do what BlackRock did to Bitcoin and find a way to use that asset to integrate it into the centralized banks. So you are going to see more massive adoption.”
[01:30]
Market Commentator echoes this optimism, adding that the resolution could facilitate XRP's listing on major exchanges:
“It boosts confidence number one in investors in it. But, but it also allows it to be listed again like if the most, I mean for a long time the simplest, the most simplistic way to invest was through Coinbase. And when you went to Coinbase and tried to invest in XRP, it wasn't even an option. And so that should help it.”
[02:30]
3. Price Predictions and Market Cap Growth
The analysts discuss realistic price targets post-legal victory. While acknowledging the enthusiasm within the XRP community, Crypto Analyst tempers expectations:
“I don't believe it's ridiculous.”
[01:54]
In response, Market Commentator agrees that some predictions might be overly optimistic but maintains that significant growth is plausible:
“If we look at the track record of who's already invested inside that space, I mean there's some signs that are pointing to it. Well, 25000 is ridiculous. But yeah, I mean getting back to 350 would be great. Getting back to Ford, getting back to 389 where it was at in like 2018.”
[03:23]
This balanced outlook suggests that while extreme price forecasts may be unattainable, substantial growth remains within reach.
4. Institutional Partnerships and Future Prospects
The discussion turns to potential partnerships and institutional support that could drive XRP's adoption. Crypto Analyst emphasizes the importance of big tech companies embracing cryptocurrency:
“Apple. I know y'all had that project and y'all been putting out nothing but that people don't want. If you adopt something crypto related like you were supposed to and I pitched for y'all to do four years ago. This may just be a step in the right direction because you already have the partnership and works in 2017 and 2018.”
[03:53]
Market Commentator adds that partnerships with giants like Amazon could further legitimize XRP:
“Amazon's partner with, with the rip. I saw somebody put that in the chat, so that was promising. But we'll see. I mean it's still early. I feel like the space is so early. This being lifted definitely helps any type of partnerships with any of those max sevens.”
[04:37]
The potential collaboration with leading companies indicates a promising future for XRP's integration into mainstream financial systems.
5. Challenges and External Factors
Despite the positive outlook, the analysts acknowledge ongoing challenges. Crypto Analyst points out the volatility introduced by influential figures:
“When you have the ear of the president and that has always been volatile, he's one or two hedge fund managers away and also too, he's going to weaponize these attacks at the dealerships for his benefit.”
[05:03]
This highlights the delicate balance between regulatory influences and market dynamics that could impact XRP's trajectory.
6. Conclusion
The episode wraps up with a consensus that XRP's legal victory is a pivotal moment, potentially unlocking new opportunities for growth and adoption. While cautious optimism prevails regarding price targets, the possibility of institutional partnerships and enhanced market confidence positions XRP favorably for the future.
