In $XRP 2025, is XRP really about to rise?

Recently, the cryptocurrency market has become lively again, and XRP has been making quite a stir. Today, let's have a good talk about it.

First, a brief introduction to XRP. It is the cryptocurrency issued by Ripple, born in 2012, making it a veteran in the field. The biggest difference from other coins is its focus on cross-border payments. Traditional cross-border transfers have high fees and slow speeds, while XRP, based on the Ripple protocol, can achieve almost real-time transactions with fees that can be ignored. This advantage directly hits the pain points of traditional cross-border payments and makes XRP stand out in the cryptocurrency space.

This year, XRP's performance has been stunning. At the beginning of the year, the price was hovering around 1 dollar, but by July 18, it actually surged to 3.45 dollars, setting a new historical high and jumping to the third spot in the cryptocurrency rankings, surpassing USDT, leaving everyone astonished. In the past 7 days, its increase exceeded 34%, which is an incredible rise. Behind the skyrocketing price is the frenzy of the futures market. Data shows that XRP's open interest has reached over 10 billion dollars, and the notional open interest of perpetual futures has surged to 8.8 billion dollars, with a large number of investors leveraging bets on its continued rise.

The reasons for XRP's price surge are numerous. First, institutional investors have re-entered the market. Some large financial institutions and hedge funds have begun to recognize XRP's potential in the cross-border payment sector and are buying in, injecting a large amount of capital into the market. Secondly, rumors about an ETF have been constant. If XRP's spot ETF is approved, it will attract more institutional funds into the market, just like the influx of capital after the approval of the Ethereum ETF this year. Moreover, Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have finally seen a result in their lawsuit, with the court ruling that XRP transactions in the secondary market do not fall under securities, clearing away years of legal uncertainty and removing obstacles to XRP's development.

However, the court may have different rulings in similar cases, and the compliance status of XRP still holds uncertainty. Therefore, if anyone wants to invest in XRP, they must be cautious and manage risks properly.
