$XRP , the fast and efficient cryptocurrency for cross-border payments, may be about to experience a massive price breakout.
The token last traded higher than $3 in January of 2025, but since then has found it difficult to get back up to that value. A positive technical indicator known as a “golden cross” is now beginning to form and could send XRP higher again.

A golden cross occurs when a short-term moving average (such as the 50-day average) crosses over a long-term moving average (such as the 200-day average). This pattern typically indicates that an asset is entering a strong upswing. Analysts believe XRP is nearing the end of its pattern, which might lead to more investor buying activity.
As of writing, XRP is at $2.07, down marginally by 0.73% in the last 24 hours. Its trading volume has also fallen by 21.84%, indicating that investors are taking precautions for the meantime.
But if the golden cross unfolds, it can lead to an explosion of trading activity and take the price up to important resistance levels. The next significant price hurdle is $2.60, and if that is broken, XRP may return to $3.
To this upbeat mood is also added the rising interest of institutional investors. HashKey Capital, a large Asian investment house, has introduced a new tracker fund for XRP.
This is an important milestone because XRP is the only altcoin after Ethereum to acquire this level of institutional support from the corporation. The action demonstrates that banking institutions recognize the value of XRP, particularly for speedy and efficient cross-border transfers.
Back in the U.S., the cryptocurrency market continues to await approval by regulators of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that encompass XRP. President of ETF Store Nate Geraci thinks this approval is around the corner, and there’s not a particularly compelling reason that the SEC won’t give its seal of approval.
If the trends keep up, XRP may be bound for a solid rally. Both technical indicators and institutional support aligning, investors are closely observing as the coin attempts to break out again.
