- XRP Eyes $12 as Institutional Demand Surges
- XRP ETF Debut Sparks Massive Trading Interest
- Ripple Expands Ecosystem With Key Acquisitions
XRP has seen a mix of bearish pressure and bullish projections, yet recent market and technical developments show a potential upward trend. Analysts and data from top sources are suggesting XRP could rally significantly, with some forecasting a surge to at least $12 by the end of 2025. With institutional interest growing and Ripple securing key partnerships, optimism around XRP’s long-term price remains intact.
Bullish Predictions Backed by Institutional Activity and Technical Patterns
XRP, the native token of Ripple, is predicted to achieve new heights by reaching $12.50 during 2025. Standard Chartered’s digital asset researcher Geoff Kendrick stated that XRP “is uniquely positioned at the heart of one of the fastest-growing uses for digital assets.”
He also added that the token’s price gains could match Bitcoin’s, based on XRP’s role in cross-border payments.Trading volume has increased sharply, with XRP futures volume hitting $21.62 billion recently. This rise suggests institutional and retail traders are showing growing interest.
On-chain data also shows that over 6.26 million addresses now hold at least one XRP, setting a new record and showing strong accumulation despite recent volatility. Technical signals such as MACD golden crosses and RSI pullbacks point to potential recovery from current levels.
ETF Launch and Strategic Integrations Fuel Market Sentiment
The launch of the 2x leveraged XRP ETF, listed on NYSE Arca, recorded $5 million in volume on its first day. Bloomberg ETF analyst Eric Balchunas said the debut ranked among the top 5% of new ETF launches, outperforming similar products tied to other crypto assets like Solana.
Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of Hidden Road and its integration with Colle AI further strengthen XRP’s ecosystem. These moves enhance XRP Ledger’s capabilities, enabling faster smart contract execution and multi-chain NFT support. The partnership with Colle AI could improve XRP’s use in digital art and expand its adoption across networks like Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain.
