XRP price forecast: can XRP reach $1 as it showcases bullish signals?

XRP (XRP/USD) showcases bullish signals as there is a high level of optimism surrounding the outcome of the SEC lawsuit.

Additionally, XRP Healthcare also partnered with ScriptCo, which can further boost the appeal of the cryptocurrency and network.

XRP is the native cryptocurrency of the XRP Ledger (XRPL), which is an open-source, permissionless, and decentralized technology.

Partnership with ScriptCo and whale accumulation as catalysts for growth

RippleNet is a platform created in 2012 that offers banks and institutions access to a real-time gross settlement system. Ripple is a San Francisco-based startup that creates software used by banks. 

XRP is used within the ecosystem built by Ripple. However, XRP is not issued by Ripple and can live on even if Ripple ceases to exist.

With that in mind, whale addresses on the XRP Ledger that own between 100,000 and 10,000,000 cryptocurrencies have expanded their holdings.

The value of XRP began to surge as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple Labs began finding ways through which they could finish their litigation. 

On December 13, 2022, 300 million XRP were moved from Binance with an estimated value of $116 million based on data from Whale Alert.

Other transactions went to the Bitstamp exchange, where 35 million XRP, estimated at $13.8 million, was transferred. 

The end of the 2020 SEC-filed lawsuit against Ripple sparks interest in XRP with an optimistic view.

ScriptCo is a pharmacy in America that services 48 states plus Washington DC and will be the exclusive distributor of medication and prescription drugs for America on the XRP Healthcare Marketplace, based on an official press release.
