$XRP

The latest information on the cryptocurrency XRP (Ripple) indicates dynamic development and changes in the market. In the first quarter of 2025, Ripple reached an agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), ending a multi-year lawsuit. The company agreed to pay a $50 million fine, which was positively received by the market - the price of XRP increased by 30% following the announcement of the verdict. In May 2025, the price of XRP fluctuates around $2.31 to $2.35, with a market capitalization of approximately $138 billion. Analysts are forecasting further increases, suggesting that XRP could reach $3 to $4 in the short term, fueled by optimism surrounding a potential approval of XRP-based ETFs. Ripple continues to develop its ecosystem, notably through the acquisition of Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, which is expected to evolve the XRP Ledger. Despite volatility, XRP is gaining popularity due to fast and low-cost cross-border transactions, thus attracting financial institutions.
