The Big Reveal: How Ripple’s 1,700 Institutional Deals Could Skyrocket XRP's Price

The resolution of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) case against Ripple has raised new questions about the company’s next steps, particularly regarding its undisclosed partnerships with major financial institutions. Industry analysts are now considering how the publication of these agreements might influence the price of XRP.

End of Legal Proceedings

Ripple’s legal dispute with the SEC officially concluded after both parties agreed to withdraw their appeals, ending nearly five years of litigation. This outcome has removed a significant source of uncertainty for the company and the XRP market. With no ongoing court challenges, Ripple now has greater freedom to reveal details of its business activities that were previously kept confidential.

The Scope of Ripple’s Confidential Agreements

Between 2013 and 2020, Ripple entered into more than 1,700 non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) with a wide range of organizations, including global banks, payment providers, and technology companies. These agreements enabled Ripple to hold private discussions on integrating XRP into existing financial infrastructures while protecting proprietary and commercially sensitive information.

The existence of these NDAs became public during the SEC case, where they were used to demonstrate that many XRP transfers took place under contractual arrangements for specific commercial purposes. Ripple argued that these transactions were not securities offerings, but rather operational uses of its digital asset.

With legal restrictions now lifted, market observers believe Ripple could choose to reveal details about some of these agreements. Public confirmation of institutional adoption could be viewed as a significant milestone, potentially boosting confidence among both retail and institutional investors.

Price Scenarios from Grok’s Assessment

Short term (1–3 months): $5 to $8, representing a 50%–140% increase from the reference price. This range assumes immediate investor interest and an increase in trading activity following the announcements.

Medium term (6–12 months): $8 to $15, contingent on ongoing positive sentiment, potential approval of XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and measurable institutional usage.

Long term (by 2030): $20 to $50, dependent on XRP’s widespread adoption for settlement, cross-border payments, and tokenized asset transactions.

According to Grok, if XRP captures even a small share of the $700 billion monthly stablecoin market or the $18 trillion tokenized asset market projected by 2033, its market capitalization could reach multi-trillion-dollar levels, supporting the higher end of its forecast.

These projections are hypothetical and assume several favorable developments, including regulatory clarity in major jurisdictions, broad institutional participation, and tangible transaction volumes generated through XRP’s use in financial systems. Without these conditions, price growth could be more limited.

Ripple’s decision to disclose details of its 1,700 NDAs could become a pivotal moment for XRP’s market trajectory. While Grok’s projections outline optimistic scenarios, actual outcomes will depend on the scale of institutional engagement, the credibility of disclosed information, and broader market conditions.
