Why Ripple XRP Will Hit $30 in 2025

Remember this video by Raoul Pal? He said to avoid old coins like $XRP and $ADA. That’s only four months ago. And in all fairness, at that time, I thought the same. But how things can change. In my wildest dreams, I would not have expected $XRP, $ADA, or any other legacy coin to lead this bull run charge. But here we are. Ripple and $XRP stand out for a couple of reasons. There’s a long lawsuit with the SEC coming to an end, with Ripple winning it. Their $RLUSD stablecoin got approved by the difficult NYDFS. Furthermore, in South Korea, $XRP trading volume flipped Bitcoin’s.  Ripple is also donating $5 million to Trump’s inauguration.

So, lots of things are happening on the Ripple and $XRP front. That leads me to believe that 2025 is going to be a massive year for Ripple and $XRP. It won’t surprise me if $XRP will lead the altcoin season in 2025. 

On a completely different note. In yesterday’s video, I called three altcoins suggested by our Alpha team. Today, $MORPHO was up by 22% and Clearpool ($CPOOL) by 18%.

What Happened Recently With Ripple and $XRP?

So, let’s take a closer look at what has been happening recently with Ripple and its $XRP token. The biggest news is the end of the lawsuit with the SEC. Current chair Gensler has been targeting the crypto sector. However, he seemed to have a special place in his cold, dead heart for Ripple.

The SEC vs Ripple

The lawsuit dates to 2020. The SEC alleged that Ripple raised over $1.3 billion with $XRP. However, according to the SEC, $XRP was an unregistered security. So, after a long four years, this lawsuit is now coming to an end. The SEC must appeal, but current chair Gensler is stepping down come the 20th January 2025. 

With a more crypto-friendly new chair on the horizon, Paul Atkins, it’s likely that the case will be closed. As a result, interest in Ripple and $XRP has skyrocketed. Many institutions in the banking sector put their trust in Ripple. They want to create an alternative to SWIFT. Ripple wants to be the answer.

The $RLUSD Stablecoin

The next big move for Ripple was the approval of their $RLUSD stablecoin by the NYDFS. That’s the New York State Department of Financial Services. So, this is also a big deal. That’s because Ripple used to mint 20% of all USDC. That’s a lot of $USDC. However, now Ripple will mint their own stablecoin. It’s pegged 1:1 to the $USD.

Up till 17th December, Ripple minted 66.2 million $RLUSD. That’s also the date it went live on global exchanges. These were $52.9 million on Ethereum and $13.3 million on their own XRPL. However, ever since, quite a few more million $RLUSD may have joined Ripple’s wallets. It shows that $RLUSD is very likely to become a serious, worldwide stablecoin player. 

It’s also of interest to know that in Europe, all $USDT will be delisted. $USDT isn’t compliant with European laws. It’s quite possible that $RLUSD can take over some of that business. 

$RLUSD Available in Singapore

Singapore’s Independent Reserve became the first exchange to list the stablecoin there. It could mean that $RLUSD can start playing an important role in the Asian markets. That’s an up-and-coming crypto market and hub for many projects.

Ripple Donates $5 Million to Trump’s Inaugural Fund

Where Kraken and Ondo Finance each donated $1 million, Ripple donated no less than $5 million. Many other American corporate companies also pledged money to this fund. 

It’s a non-profit fund. However, it shows that many business leaders are looking for a favorable relationship with Trump. Most donations are to the tune of $1 million. So, Ripple adding $5 million does stand out. 14 Do I hear speculations of an $XRP ETF by any chance? Either way, folks, big things lie ahead for Ripple.

$XRP Price Predictions

With all this news about Ripple and $XRP, it’s no surprise that $XRP price speculation is rife. The current $XRP price is $2.24. Let’s see what some experts expect the price to be in 2025.

  • Crypto Bitlord starts with a modest $7 to $12 for January.
  • Raoul Pal, remember him from the beginning of this video? Well, he thinks that the $XRP chart looks really good. He expects $XRP to go up by a lot, without adding a price tag to it.
  • Steph is Crypto notches it up a bit and gets to $30.
  • Andrew Griffiths sees a $24 price and has some good arguments for it.

  • Armando Pantoja, a crypto investor since 2011, expects a price between $25 and $100.
  • XRP Consultant seems to be in the $XRP maxis camp. He expects a $100-$200 price.
  • And we said we thought it could hit at least $10. Twice. First time over a year ago, and then again just a week or two ago.

So, a price above $20 is likely. Many experts see this happening. So, 10x from here will give us a $24 $XRP. If it goes to $30, we’re looking at a 13x. Anything else beyond, you do the math. So, what’s your opinion about $XRP’s price in 2025?
