• XRP has broken a long-term bearish channel and is consolidating above support, signaling potential bullish continuation.
• Current trading levels sit at $2.28, with optimistic projections aiming as high as $3.87 and beyond by end-2025.
• Ripple’s CEO underscores XRP’s real-world utility in cross-border payments, separating it from speculative crypto assets.
  

XRP is currently trading at $2.28, marking a 4.60% uptick in the past 24 hours and a 5.97% increase over the past week. With trading volume surging to $2.24 billion,  up 54.66%,  the momentum appears to be gaining strength.

Crypto expert VipRoseTr says XRP recently broke out of a downward trend on the weekly chart, which usually means prices were falling. But now, the price has moved up and is holding steady above an important support level. This shows positive signs, with possible price targets at $2.95, $3.40, and $3.88.

VipRoseTr suggests that if the price drops to around $1.85, it could be a good chance to buy for swing traders because the potential reward is worth the risk. The overall technical signals also show less price movement and steady upward momentum. Still, experts stay careful because things like changes in regulations and how investors feel could affect the price.

XRP Price Predictions Show Mixed Signals for 2025

Price predictions for XRP in 2025 are mixed. Changelly provides a conservative estimate, stating that the price would remain in the range of $1.84 and $2.15. However, DigitalCoinPrice has a more positive outlook and estimates that XRP could exceed $4.83, thus surpassing its historical high of $3.84.

XRP is expected to grow at a very gradual rate in mid-2025, approaching June with an expected price of close to $2.45. This may represent an ROI of nearly 11.9%. However, such predictions are highly subjective since various analysts use different methodologies and assumptions, including the level of consumption by individuals and large corporations of XRP as well as the economic changes that will unfold.

Investors need to watch Trading Volume, Price Variation, and News related to Ripple’s litigation. There is some uncertainty but most people believe that the coin is going to keep growing in the long run especially as it transitions beyond being an exchange token.

Ripple CEO emphasizes real world use of XRP

Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently said that XRP is useful for more than just price trading. In a video shared by a community member, he explained that XRP helps make fast international money transfers using Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) platform.

This system lets you change regular money (fiat) into the coin, send it through the XRP network, and then change it back into another currency, all in just a few seconds. Garlinghouse says this new way is changing how banks work together by removing the need to keep large amounts of money ready and making transactions easier and faster.

Ripple is already using this system between the U.S. and Mexico, as well as in parts of Asia and the Pacific. This helps banks save money and speed up payments. Unlike many digital currencies that are mostly about future hopes, the coin is being used in real payment systems right now, which Ripple wants everyone to know as it grows worldwide.
