XRP, the popular cryptocurrency tied to Ripple, is currently trading at around $2.40 โ a strong rebound from its April lows ๐. However, it still lags behind its all-time high (ATH) of $3.35 set in 2018 ๐ฐ๏ธ.
Despite this pause in price action, bullish momentum is building in the background. Traders on the prediction platform Polymarket are increasingly confident that XRP will smash its previous ATH by the end of 2025 ๐ฎ. At the start of May, only 24% of traders believed this. Now, that number has jumped to 46% โ nearly half of all bets โ๏ธ.
Whatโs Fueling the Optimism? โก
The buzz centers around the potential approval of a spot XRP ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) by the U.S. SEC ๐บ๐ธ. Polymarket bettors are giving this outcome a strong 85% chance of happening before December 31, 2025 โ .
Why is this important? A spot ETF could bring massive institutional money into XRP, increasing demand and liquidity ๐ฐ. Some analysts believe this could be a game-changer:
Zach Rector suggests XRP could soar to $15 with ETF-driven inflows ๐ฅ.
Gert van Lagen, another crypto analyst, projects a possible target of $38 based on technical patterns ๐.
Whatโs Next for XRP? ๐
For now, XRP is consolidating โ meaning itโs trading sideways as the market waits for a major catalyst โณ. But with increasing investor confidence, ETF speculation, and strong community support, many believe XRP could be ready for a historic breakout in 2025 ๐ฆ .
Whether you're a holder, trader, or curious spectator, XRP's journey in the coming months will be one to watch closely ๐.#XRP2025 #CryptoNews #XRPHODL #ETFBets#BullRunReady #TrumpTariffs $XRP
