As institutional adoption builds, XRP’s next breakout could be on the horizon, but patience is key for major price movement.

With growing institutional interest in crypto ETFs, Ripple’s move could mark a major milestone for XRP adoption in traditional finance.

Elon Musk’s social media platform X has filed a lawsuit in the Karnataka High Court, challenging the Indian government’s use of the IT Act to block content.

The platform also refused to onboard an employee onto Sahyog, a government portal it calls a “Censorship Portal.” X seeks legal protection against arbitrary blocking orders that violate Supreme Court rulings.

As the regulatory war shifts, all eyes are on Ripple’s next move—could it reshape the future of crypto?
