Is Now the Best Time to Buy XRP?
Investing in XRP is not without risks. The ongoing legal battle with the SEC is concerning. The SEC views XRP as a security, which leads to regulatory issues. Until these issues are resolved, XRP might struggle to attract investor interest.
So, is it worth buying XRP before it reaches $1? The answer largely depends on your risk appetite. If you believe in Ripple’s technology and are willing to take a risk, investing in XRP might be a worthwhile venture. However, if you are risk-averse, it may be best to wait until the legal issues are resolved.
