$XRP “XRP and Mastercard join forces to bring cryptocurrency into everyday life!”

> Big news coming! Ripple, in collaboration with Gemini and Mastercard (via WebBank), has just announced — through a billboard in New York — the launch of an XRP-Mastercard expected on August 25, 2025.

What can we expect from this card?

Instant payment with XRP: The amount in XRP will be automatically converted to the local currency at the time of the transaction — making it easier to use cryptocurrency in daily life.

Rewards: The expectation is that the card will offer up to 4% cashback on transactions, encouraging more people to use their XRP.

Mass digital microcurrency: With Mastercard's global reach, this initiative could be a game changer for the practical use of XRP in everyday purchases.

Market impact – Upward trends (or not so high)?

Some analysts project a potential increase of up to 30% in the value of XRP, if the adoption of the card is solid.

However, the token has been under pressure: it fell about 14.7% in the last week and is 22% below the annual high. Techniques indicate that the downward trend may be weakening, opening space for a recovery.
