XRP, the 7th largest cryptocurrency by market valuation, has taken a hit as a result of the ongoing dispute against Ripple. The crypto community remains optimistic about the digital asset, forecasting a price increase by the end of May.
The crypto community predicted that the XRP coin will sell for an average of $0.8188 on May 31, 2022, with 2,028 votes. The predicted price represents a $0.1705 or 26.29% gain over the asset’s existing value in decentralised finance (DeFi).
The crypto community previously anticipated the month-end cost of XRP with an accuracy record of 77.57% based on the prior estimates.

Ripple and XRP ready to close the case
Both parties reached an agreement to file closing papers a few days before Christmas, thus delaying the lawsuit’s conclusion date to 2023. As previously reported by Finbold, the blockchain business planned fulfilment in the second half of November 2022.
