In 2025, XRP recorded impressive growth, reaching a price of $2.43 by mid-May, reflecting a strong recovery after Ripple settled its lawsuit with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in March. The SEC's decision to withdraw its appeal reinforced XRP's legal standing, facilitating expanded cooperation with global financial institutions.
The CME Group's announcement of the launch of XRP futures on May 19 attracted attention from institutional investors, marking an important step in bringing XRP into the traditional financial system.
Price forecasts for XRP in 2025 are quite positive. Standard Chartered predicts that XRP could reach $5.50 by the end of the year, while some more optimistic analysts believe a price of $15 is feasible if the upward trend continues.
With support from the U.S. government through the inclusion of XRP in the "strategic cryptocurrency reserves" and the increasing demand from financial institutions, XRP is on track to become a significant digital asset in the global financial system.
