Ripple XRP a Must Buy for Christmas? Analysts Project 80% Surge
CoinCodex analysts predict an 80% surge for XRP in 2025, mimicking the recent surge of the asset in 2024. By April, the analysts suggest that XRP could hit a maximum of $4 if the asset performs at its best. CoinCodex projects an average price of $ 3.17, with the token remaining at its current price at the bare minimum. This is great news for investors who don’t want to lose too much risking an early XRP investment for Christmas. While this is just one prediction, multiple analysts in the crypto world are also bullish on XRP’s future in 2025.

The U.S. consumer price index (CPI) rose 0.3% month-on-month and 2.7% year-on-year in November, aligning with expectations. This boosted the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut to 99%, up from 89% a day earlier, as per CME FedWatch.
As of 10:02 am IST, Bitcoin was up 4%, trading at $100,935, while Ethereum surged 7% to $3,919. Bitcoin reached an intraday high of $101,913 after dipping to $94,000 last week.
"The crypto market regains momentum as Bitcoin climbs back above the $100,000 milestone. Expectations of a 25-basis-point rate cut in the upcoming Fed meeting, following positive CPI data, boosted the market sentiment," said Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex.
