Ctrl Alt noted that the XRP Ledger is a decentralized layer-1 blockchain, which is renowned for its decade-long reliability and stability in tokenizing and exchanging digital and real-world assets. This move is expected to further enhance the network’s utility and ultimately increase demand for XRP, the network’s native token. Ripple Executive Reece Merrick commented on the development, noting that the Dubai Land Department forecasts a $16 billion tokenized real estate market by 2033. This represents 7% of total property transactions, which would be processed on the XRP Ledger. Pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton also commented on this milestone. In an X post, he remarked that people fail to realize that the XRP Ledger, which was created in 2012, has the world’s first decentralized exchange (DEX). He added that this DEX was designed for RWA tokenization, such as real estate, indicating that the XRPL is the perfect choice for the DLD. Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight highlighted how bullish this milestone is for the XRP price, predicting that it could be one of the catalysts that sparks a rally to $12. This will mark a new all-time high (ATH) for the altcoin. Other Recent Milestones For XRP And The XRP Ledger XRP has recorded some other milestones in the last week.

Ethereum prices have surged by over 19% in the past day, reaching almost $2,500 as a general crypto market resurgence continues. Amidst investors’ euphoria, prominent crypto analyst and OKC Partner Ted Pillows has tipped the prominent altcoin to sustain its bullish form, reaching a market price of $12,000 in 2025. Related Reading: Ethereum Stuck Between Retail Sell-Off And Whale Accumulation, Analyst Explains Institutional Adoption, DeFi Status To Drive Ethereum Market, Among Others In an X post on May 9, Ted Pillows provided some valuable insights into the bullish potential of the Ethereum market. The angel investor and KOL stated there are five reasons ETH investors should be expecting profits of about 600% before 2025 runs out. Firstly, Pillows has hinted that Ethereum is likely to experience the highest level of institutional adoption among altcoins. Amidst a pro-crypto US government and the growing chances of a digital asset regulatory framework, institutional investors are likely to start diversifying their capital to other cryptocurrencies aside from Bitcoin. As seen with the spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Ethereum ranks high ahead of other altcoins for portfolio additions, considering its position as the second-largest cryptocurrency with a 7.24% market share, and an extensive smart contract application. In particular, Ted Pillows emphasizes Ethereum’s dominance in smart contract programmability as another reason for investors to be highly bullish. According to DefiLlama, the Ethereum blockchain currently holds 80.17% of RWA, 51.01% of circulating stablecoins, and 53.29% of total value locked (TVL) in DeFi, indicating much potential for network adoption and price growth amidst a crypto bull market. Another possible market trigger highlighted by Ted Pillows centers on the potential introduction of Ethereum ETF staking. Deadlines for the SEC’s decision on the proposed staking option lie in late May & late August. However, Bloomberg analyst James Seyfart has indicated there is much potential for the Commission to wait till the final deadline in October, as seen with the ETH options trading. The introduction of staking is likely to drive inflows into the Ethereum ETFs as it provides an additional means of income for investors. Staking would allow ETFs custodians to lock up ETH on the Ethereum network to serve as a validator for a defined period and earn a commission in return. Token Burn Post-Pectra Upgrade Signals Good Times Ahead Among other potential bullish drivers, Ted Pillows also points to the high level of ETH Burn following the launch of the Pectra network upgrade on May 7. A high burn rate indicates rising scarcity, which is always good for the market price appreciation. Finally, Ted Pillows hints at the growing potential of a risk-on environment later in 2025 as the US Federal Reserve is expected to cut interest rates and begin quantitative easing, which would encourage investments in volatile assets such as cryptocurrencies. At press time, Ethereum continues to trade at $2,334 following a slight market retracement in the last few hours. Notably, the asset’s trading volume is up by 62.81% and valued at $49.85 billion.
