XRP Outlook (May 2025):** Priced at $2.48, XRP has surged 20% in May despite a recent 4% dip. Key drivers include regulatory optimism (potential SEC settlement), ETF speculation (up to $8B inflows if approved), and a technical breakout above $2.40. Whale accumulation, South Korean demand, and upcoming catalysts like Vaultro Finance’s XRP Ledger dashboard (May 16) and CME futures (May 19) add momentum. Short-term targets: $2.85-$4.50 by June; end-2025 could hit $5.50+ with ETF approval. Long-term forecasts ($10-$20 by 2030) hinge on adoption. Risks remain: regulatory uncertainty (Coinbase warnings), volatility, and speculative hype. Caution advised amid bullish sentiment.
