Imagine that XRP is a rocket parked on a platform, going through multiple inspections before launch. These checks represent key events such as the end of litigation with the SEC, the opening of the ETF market, and institutional adoption for cross-border remittances. Once all these 'green signals' are given, XRP could ignite its engines and ascend.
Since January 2025, XRP has shown a range between USD 2.2 and 2.7, fluctuating around USD 2.40–2.60.
5. Technical signals reflect consolidation in a triangle, with support between USD 1.9–2.2 and resistances at USD 2.8–3.5.
The takeoff depends on breaking those upper levels, especially above USD 2.8–3.0.
2. Key events that could ignite engines
Complete (total) conclusion of the SEC trial: if the verdict is fully favorable to Ripple, it could be a significant catalyst; many analysts project values between USD 5–7 immediately thereafter.
Launch of XRP-based ETFs: CME plans to start cash-settled futures in May 2025, and in Brazil there is already a spot ETF (Hashdex). These products facilitate institutional entry.
Expansion of real utility: Ripple is already collaborating with more than 300 institutions using XRP for cross-border payments. If this adoption grows, demand could increase significantly.
