XRP has ushered in 2025 with a robust bullish performance, achieving its highest monthly close to date. As a result of significant advancements in regulation and institutional adoption, the token’s surge coincides with a growing sense of optimism in the broader crypto market. XRP advanced toward critical price levels during January’s rally, which established the foundation for potential future gains.

XRP Record Monthly Close Sparks Optimism January was an important month for XRP because it reached its highest closing price ever. On January 16, the token hit a monthly high of $3.39, getting close to its record high from 2018. This positive trend, driven by growing market confidence and more people using XRP, has sparked new conversations about its long-term promise. highest monthly close ever for XRP- $3.03 pic.twitter.com/boHBsHi6vP — xoom (@Mr_Xoom) February 1, 2025 XRP’s price has changed a lot. After a big jump and peak in January 2018, its value dropped sharply, falling more than 60% that month and kept going down. It stayed around $0.2700 until it suddenly rose in 2021, but that increase didn’t last long. Renewed Vigor Despite years of underperformance, XRP is now showing renewed strength. Ecosystem growth, positive macroeconomic shifts, including the RLUSD launch, and potential regulatory changes are fueling this resurgence. XRP’s recent price reflects this change. After strong gains in late 2023, it closed January at an all-time high of $3.0359, signaling a potential long-term uptrend. A significant factor in the rapid price fluctuations of XRP, according to market analysts, is its liquidity structure. In contrast to Bitcoin, XRP’s order books are relatively thinner, which facilitates the upward movement of the price through the implementation of substantial purchase orders. Throughout January, this attribute was most evident, as robust demand resulted in rapid growth. Recent Regulatory Changes Seen To Intensify Rally The expected changes in regulations in the United States are an important reason why XRP has been rising lately. There is talk of a possible friendlier environment for cryptocurrency regulations after news that US Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler has stepped down. This situation has encouraged investors to feel positive, especially about assets like XRP, which has faced regulation issues for a long time. XRP is gaining more attention because of its present momentum and the potential introduction of spot ETFs for altcoins. Market participants are examining other well-known digital assets to see if they can generate the same level of demand as Bitcoin ETFs. The creation of an XRP ETF would attract significant investment from large institutions, further boosting the token’s value.

At the time of writing, the asset was trading at approximately $2.78, with intraday fluctuations suggesting that volatility will persist. The token momentarily reached $2.95 before slightly retracing, indicating that traders were taking profits and exhibiting bullish strength. Meanwhile, on-chain data indicates that there has been an increase in activity among large holders, who are informally known as “whales.” Some analysts anticipate a potential breakout if key resistance levels are breached in the coming weeks, as their accumulation patterns suggest confidence in XRP’s long-term growth.

Ripple versus the US Securities and Exchange Commission is one of the longest-running battles in the crypto space. The situation has brought a lot of uncertainty for XRP holders and investors. But the end of this lawsuit is very close, and experts are expecting a big swing in the price movement of XRP. Just how high can the altcoin go once the legal battle is officially over? Related Reading: $534 Million Exit: DeepSeek Debut Sends Shockwaves Through Crypto ETFs Legal Resolution May Catalyze XRP Surge The general consensus in the crypto community is that once Ripple’s battle with the SEC is done, XRP will have a huge rally. Many experts think that the uncertainty of the lawsuit has kept the price of XRP artificially low. Once the legal cloud clears, the coin could touch new heights. The end of the lawsuit would most likely indicate that the regulatory hurdles that had been holding Ripple back are now finally behind them. When they announce the SEC lawsuit is fully over it’s entirety possible $XRP jumps above $10. ???????????? — EDO FARINA ???? XRP (@edward_farina) January 28, 2025 A community expert recently said that if the right agencies announce the SEC vs. Ripple case is completely settled, the price of XRP could possibly rise to $10. This would be a record high for the altcoin, which has been stable around $3 since January 16. The Coin’s Future Price, According To Expert Opinion One of the prominent members of the crypto community, Edward Farina, thinks that after the litigation is settled, the token’s price would rise. Farina predicted that once investors had faith in the initiative again, XRP’s market value would soar. He underlined that since it would give institutional investors clarity and security, the resolution of the SEC case would probably lead to a wider adoption of the crypto asset. Unfortunately, 95% of $XRP holders are likely to sell at $10, missing out on the true long-term gains. Many have sold at $0.80, settling for far less. Don’t make the same mistake by rushing into devaluated “stablecoins”. Make sure you’re locked in for the perpetual run. — EDO FARINA ???? XRP (@edward_farina) November 25, 2024 A push to the $10 barrier would require over 200% surge from present levels, since XRP is now trading at $3.12. Such an increase is still within the realm of possibility for the altcoin, given its enormous 400% increase from November 5 to December 3 on the heels of the excitement surrounding Donald Trump‘s recent election win.

The favorable shift could lead to more institutional and retail investments streaming into XRP. Featured image from Gemini Imagen, chart from TradingView

For weeks, Ripple’s XRP has been on a tear, breaking key price metrics which allowed it to solidify its standing as one of the industry’s biggest cryptos. For most of 2024, XRP has been on a sideways movement, trading at the $0.50 level. But then Trump and the US elections happened, and the XRP has become one of the industry’s best-performing digital assets. Related Reading: Bitcoin Sudden Breakdown: Price Falls Below $100,000 Support As one of the top-performing assets, XRP naturally caught the attention of some market analysts and commentators. Rajat Soni, a leading finance expert, has offered a satirical take on XRP and how holders can join the rush and become rich. Soni’s post generated a mix of amusing and dismissive replies from the crypto community. But one thing is sure: Soni only highlighted the common tactics and strategies marketers use to exploit the market and generate revenues at the expense of inexperienced crypto players. Get Rich With Ripple’s XRP? How does one get rich with cryptocurrencies like XRP? Soni counted the ways in his humorous take on the altcoin, which was shared on Twitter/X. Specifically, Soni listed nine steps to get rich quickly with XRP. How to get rich: 1) Create a coin like XRP out of thin air 2) Create a separate company and take ownership of the entire supply of XRP 3) Market XRP as much as possible 4) Sell XRP to anyone who wants to get rich quick (is 8 years still quick?) 5) Brainwash these people and… — Rajat Soni, CFA (@rajatsonifnance) January 25, 2025 According to Soni, the first step is to create the coin out of thin air and aggressively market the product (XRP). The next step is to sell the coin to interested individuals who want to get rich. Then, brainwash all those who bought the token and tell them that it will surge to $100k per token, and never believe naysayers. Also, he shared that an integral component of the campaign is to feed holders with lies and attack anyone who says that asset is a scam. Finally, the last step is to pull the rug and end up with a fortune. So, What’s Up With XRP? Ripple’s XRP has been the subject of criticism and other complaints in the last few years. For most commentators, XRP suffers from too much centralization or the control of a single entity. Soni is one of the leading critics of this project, calling it a “scam.” In one of his recent social media posts, he described Ripple’s token as fraudulent, and banks will never use it. Soni’s main beef with this digital asset is its lack of centralization, a key feature of Bitcoin and other top altcoins. He argued that the company controls almost half of its supply, making the token prone to market manipulation. What XRP Supporters Say About Soni’s Satirical Post Soni’s post received mixed reactions from the community, with some offering some amusing replies to the thread. Interestingly, a few direct responses to Soni’s satirical post suggested that some of XRP’s supporters are now immune to these targeted attacks against the project.

XRP has faced significant selling pressure over the past several hours, causing the price to dip to new local lows around $2.65. This decline comes after a period of heightened volatility in the broader cryptocurrency market. While the long-term outlook for XRP remains bullish, the recent drop highlights risks that investors need to monitor closely. Related Reading: Solana Active Addresses Surge To 832K Per Hour Outpacing Ethereum Amid TRUMP Meme Coin Hype Top analyst Ali Martinez shared insights on X, pointing to a critical development on XRP’s daily chart. He revealed that the Bollinger Bands, a popular technical analysis indicator, were tightening prior to the drop. This “squeezing” pattern is often a precursor to a significant price movement, signaling a shift in market dynamics. As XRP moved below key demand levels, the breakdown has left traders speculating about the next possible move. Some see this as a temporary setback within a larger bullish trend, while others warn that continued selling pressure could lead to further declines. For now, XRP is at a pivotal juncture. Investors and analysts alike are closely watching for signs of stabilization and a potential rebound, which will be critical for maintaining confidence in the token’s long-term trajectory. The coming days will likely reveal whether XRP can regain momentum or continue to face downward pressure. XRP Faces Intense Volatility Amid Speculation XRP has been at the center of market activity, with massive price swings dominating the past few weeks. The cryptocurrency has faced significant volatility, and analysts predict that the coming days could bring even more aggressive movements. Despite the turbulence, many investors view this as a strategic opportunity, maintaining optimism about XRP’s long-term growth potential. Top crypto analyst Ali Martinez recently shared a key technical insight on X, pointing to tightening Bollinger Bands on XRP’s daily chart. This pattern is often associated with periods of reduced volatility followed by sharp price movements. True to form, the anticipated move materialized, leading to a dramatic price drop of over 15% in just a few hours. This steep decline has raised questions about XRP’s immediate future. While the long-term outlook remains positive for many, the recent drop has sparked concerns that XRP may be entering a deeper consolidation phase. Such phases are often necessary for market recalibration but can test investor patience and resilience.

Meanwhile, analysts continue to monitor key technical indicators to determine whether XRP is poised for a rebound or further downside. The coming days will be crucial in shaping XRP’s trajectory and whether it can maintain its reputation as a resilient player in the crypto space. Signs of Recovery Amid Recent Volatility XRP is trading at $2.76 following a sharp drop into the $2.65 level during recent market turbulence. Despite the downturn, the price has demonstrated resilience, recovering approximately 5% in the past few hours. This rebound has brought a sense of cautious optimism among investors and traders. For bulls to reclaim momentum and steer XRP back toward bullish territory, holding above the critical $2.80 level is essential. This mark has emerged as a key threshold for maintaining upward pressure and preventing further downside. A strong defense of this level could set the stage for a broader recovery, attracting fresh buying interest and improving market sentiment.

Failure to hold this mark could result in another test of the recent $2.65 lows, potentially leading to a deeper consolidation phase. Featured image from Dall-E, chart from TradingView

XRP, the native cryptocurrency of the Ripple network, has seen its price grow massively in recent months, allowing it to overtake many other large-market cap cryptocurrencies. At the time of writing, XRP is the third-largest crypto by market cap, and current buying trends suggest it might stay there for a while. As of January 25, 2025, the altcoin has a total supply of 100 billion tokens, with approximately 57.64 billion currently in circulation. Notably, a significant portion of this circulating supply is concentrated among a small number of wallets. Specifically, the top 10 addresses hold about 20.99% of the circulating supply, while the top 50 addresses control approximately 53.3%, which raises the question about the distribution of wealth in the ecosystem and who stands to benefit the most from the price rally. Top 20 Wallets And Their Dominance Over XRP Supply The largest XRP holdings are primarily associated with Ripple Labs, its founders, and major cryptocurrency exchanges. In terms of numbers, data from Coincarp shows that out of the 4,840,747 addresses, the top 20 holders, the top 50 holders, and the top 100 holders hold 50.31%, 63.74%, and 71.76% of the circulating supply, respectively. Related Reading: XRP Price Rallies To ATH At $3.4, Here’s What’s Driving It And Why The Pump Will Continue According to distribution data, Ripple Labs currently owns around 46 billion XRP tokens, although most are locked in escrow. These tokens are released periodically in pre-set amounts, limiting Ripple’s ability to freely access or manipulate the escrowed funds. Even with these restrictions, Ripple Labs holds a considerable amount of liquid XRP. Data from blockchain explorer Bithomp indicates that one of Ripple’s wallet addresses alone contains over 1.3 billion XRP. Also, Ripple Labs co-founder Chris Larsen is the largest individual holder of XRP, holding over 5 billion tokens, making him one of the wealthiest individuals in the ecosystem. Major exchanges like Binance and Uphold also manage significant reserves. For instance, one of Binance’s wallets holds over 1.3 billion XRP, accounting for approximately 1.33% of the circulating supply. South Korean-based crypto exchange Upbit also holds about 4.38% of the total supply, among a few other exchanges. Holding Distribution: Anything To Fear? These large-scale holdings by exchanges and Ripple-related entities paint a picture of an XRP ecosystem dominated by a relatively small group of stakeholders. However, when you think about it, these large holdings are not in the hands of any private company or individual that would potentially be at risk of manipulating the price for their benefit.

As such, their concentration in exchanges does not pose any unnatural risk to the natural price dynamics for XRP. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.10, having recently reached a seven-year high of $3.38. Featured image from Medium, chart from Tradingview.com

Market sentiment is growing increasingly positive, with analysts predicting a massive move into price discovery. Among them, crypto expert Carl Runefelt has shared an intriguing technical analysis on X, highlighting a bullish setup for XRP. According to Runefelt, the price is forming a bullish pennant pattern on the 4-hour timeframe, a classic indicator of potential upward continuation. This pattern suggests that XRP is consolidating before a significant breakout, which could propel the price into uncharted territory. As excitement builds, investors are watching closely to see whether XRP can sustain its momentum and capitalize on the bullish market environment. A breakout from the bullish pennant could confirm XRP’s trajectory toward new milestones, reinforcing its position as one of the market’s most dynamic assets. XRP About To Enter Price Discovery XRP is on the verge of entering price discovery as the broader crypto market signals a bullish rally. Following a strong pump in early November, XRP’s price action has remained resilient, fueling optimism for substantial gains in the months ahead. As the market flirts with a decisive phase, XRP continues to stand out as a top contender for life-changing returns for investors and traders. Renowned crypto analyst Carl Runefelt has shared an insightful technical analysis on X, highlighting a bullish setup for XRP. According to Runefelt, the price is forming a bullish pennant pattern on the 4-hour timeframe, a classic indicator of potential upward continuation. Based on this setup, Runefelt has set a price target of $4.20 in the coming weeks, aligning with broader expectations of a market-wide rally. The bullish pennant suggests that XRP is consolidating before its next major move. If the pattern holds, the breakout could propel XRP into uncharted territory, confirming its position as a leading asset in this market cycle.

With its strong price action and favorable technical setup, XRP has the potential to deliver significant returns. Investors and traders are closely watching as XRP prepares for its next move, with anticipation building for what could be a pivotal rally. Price Testing Critical Levels XRP is currently trading at $3.19, following a massive surge above its previous all-time high last week. The recent price action highlights XRP’s strength as it continues to attract investor interest during this bullish phase. However, the asset has entered a brief consolidation phase, which could signal preparation for its next move. For bulls to maintain momentum and sustain the uptrend, reclaiming the $3.25 resistance level is critical. Breaking above this mark would likely reignite buying pressure and pave the way for another push toward new all-time highs. Achieving this would reinforce the bullish structure and solidify XRP’s position as one of the market’s top-performing assets. Conversely, holding above the $3.05 support level is equally important to confirm the ongoing trend. This level has become a key line of defense, and a breakdown below it could signal weakness, potentially leading to a deeper correction and testing lower demand zones.

The XRP price is in the spotlight again, as a crypto analyst has shared his short—to long-term prediction for the third-largest altcoin. While the asset has experienced a series of bullish events that have driven its price to its current level, the analyst strongly believes that the cryptocurrency can jump even higher to reach $20. XRP Long To Short Term Price Prediction According to a crypto analyst identified as ‘XRP Meesku’ on X (formerly Twitter), the XRP price is gearing up to skyrocket to a new long-term ATH target of $20. The analyst’s bullish outlook for the token stems from its innovative potential, as advanced developments and technological advancements tend to drive price surges in a cryptocurrency. Related Reading: XRP Price Rallies To ATH At $3.4, Here’s What’s Driving It And Why The Pump Will Continue Notably, the analyst revealed that there has been ongoing speculation that XRP could be pivotal in national banking. He highlighted that many discussions have arisen suggesting that the altcoin could be used as a potential base layer for the United States (US) banking system. If this happens, it could fuel significant growth and adoption for XRP, potentially positioning it as a “global asset that is gaining traction.” Moreover, it could trigger a price increase of $20 ATH for the altcoin. In the mid-term time frame, XRP Meeksu predicts that the altcoin could potentially hit $8 first before attempting to break past its cycle top. He reveals that his optimistic outlook for XRP was influenced by factors such as new financial products like futures and the ongoing legal challenges with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Based on his analysis, the crypto expert suggests that resolving these issues could spark a price rally. Finally, the analyst shared a short-term price forecast for XRP, highlighting that altcoin is expected to experience significant volatility, leading to price fluctuations. Due to its sharp growth potential, he predicts a surge to $3.6 or higher was possible. Moreover, the X market expert mentioned the increase in significant liquidation trends, underscoring that traders may take a long position after being forced to close due to market fluctuations. Bullish Factors Driving The Price Surge While the XRP Meeksu shares his long- to short-term bullish prediction for the XRP price, the analyst also outlines several bullish activities that could drive a potential surge in the cryptocurrency. According to the crypto expert, the XRP market has seen a lot of activity lately, with the price stabilizing despite spikes in whale activity. Related Reading: XRP Price Eyes Bullish Flag Breakout That Could Put 50% Gains On The Board Looking at the asset’s past performances, the analyst mentions a notable transfer of $62 million to various crypto exchanges — a movement that could potentially be seen as a sell signal for strategic whale repositioning.

Furthermore, the analyst delved deeper into the lawsuit between Ripple and the SEC, highlighting discussions about potential settlements and the conclusion of the almost four-year legal battle. Despite the lawsuit drama, the crypto expert disclosed that XRP’s overall sentiment remains bullish as analysts project more growth in the future. He revealed that XRP is showing signs of a price recovery and could soon hit new ATHs. Moreover, its community remains vibrant and active, sharing updates about ongoing scam threats, key events, and more. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

De recente speculaties rond de Ripple vs. SEC-zaak hebben de XRP-koers opnieuw in beweging gebracht. Investeerders anticiperen op een mogelijke schikking of afwijzing, wat voor een koersstijging zorgt. Ondanks een lichte daling vandaag blijft de markt optimistisch, mede door sterke whale-activiteit en voorspellingen van analisten die wijzen op een potentiële stijging richting $3,50 of hoger. Met de zaak in een cruciale fase blijft de vraag: wat gaat Ripple dit weekend doen? Kan de Ripple vs SEC-zaak deze week worden afgesloten? De speculaties over een mogelijke afwijzing of schikking in de Ripple vs SEC-zaak zijn recentelijk toegenomen. Vooral nu de Amerikaanse SEC haar eerste besloten vergadering houdt onder de nieuwe waarnemend voorzitter Mark Uyeda, verwachten velen in de XRP-gemeenschap een belangrijke uitkomst in de lopende zaak uit de vergadering. Het is echter vermeldenswaard dat ex-SEC-advocaat Marc Fagel dergelijke beweringen onlangs heeft afgewezen. Desondanks bleven de marktliefhebbers vertrouwen houden in het positieve nieuws dat eraan komt, wat op zijn beurt de XRP-prijs aanzienlijk zou kunnen verhogen. In een verhitte discussie op X deelde ex-Ripple-functionaris Sean McBride zijn perspectief op de langlopende Ripple vs SEC-zaak, wat speculaties over de oplossing ervan aanwakkerde. In antwoord op de vraag van een XRP-liefhebber suggereerde McBride dat de zaak binnen een week kon worden afgewezen of geschikt. Opmerkelijk is dat hij neigde naar een schikking, verwijzend naar de alomvattende aard ervan en het potentieel voor vertrouwelijkheid. “Ripple, Garlinghouse en Larsen hebben allemaal recht op compensatie,” merkte hij op, eraan toevoegend dat Ripple ‘letterlijk het script had omgedraaid voor de SEC.’ Zal de XRP-zaak worden afgewezen of geschikt? Het gesprek ontvouwde zich verder toen McBride mogelijke uitkomsten belichtte als de zaak zou worden afgewezen. Hij suggereerde dat Ripple de SEC zou kunnen aanklagen voor schadevergoeding, maar hintte erop dat een schikking waarschijnlijk dergelijke zorgen discreet zou aanpakken. Ex-SEC-advocaat Marc Fagel bestreed deze beweringen echter, en stelde dat een tegenvordering geen juridische grond zou hebben vanwege eerdere gerechtelijke uitspraken tegen Ripple. Hij verwierp ook het idee van achterkamerschikkingen, en benadrukte de transparantie die vereist is bij SEC-resoluties. Wat gaat XRP dit weekend doen? De XRP-prijs daalde vandaag bijna 2% en werd verhandeld op $3,11, terwijl het handelsvolume 3% daalde naar $8,3 miljard. Opmerkelijk is dat de crypto schommelt tussen de $3,27 en $3,11 in de laatste 24 uur. Ondanks de prijsdaling steeg de XRP Futures Open Interest met 1,3% naar $6,9 miljard, wat het sterke vertrouwen van de investeerders weerspiegelt. Ondertussen heeft analist Meesku een voorspelling gedaan: zo verwacht hij dat XRP op korte termijn zou kunnen stijgen naar $3,50 of zelfs hoger. Hij gelooft dat recente whale activiteit en de verwachting van nieuwe financiële producten deze groei zouden stimuleren. Ter ondersteuning van deze visie merkte hij op dat XRP donderdag een abrupte prijsstijging van 5% in slechts enkele minuten ervoer te midden van berichten over ETF’s. De opwinding zorgde kort voor een rally van XRP naar $3,30, maar sindsdien is de prijs gedaald naar $3,13. Hoewel volatiliteit een belangrijke factor blijft in de korte termijnvooruitzichten, gelooft Meesku dat de markt zich positioneert voor potentieel opwaarts momentum, vooral nu de Ripple vs. SEC-zaak dichter bij een definitieve oplossing komt. Met de zaak die mogelijk tot een einde komt, lijkt dit een bullish moment te creëren voor de hele markt. Dit biedt kansen om te ontdekken welke tokens hier mogelijk van kunnen profiteren.

XRP is currently trading around the $3.10 level after a weekend marked by significant volatility and a lackluster market response to President Donald Trump’s inauguration day. Hopes had been high among crypto investors that the new U.S. President would highlight pro-crypto policies in his opening speech. However, the absence of any mention of cryptocurrencies triggered short-term selling pressure, causing a dip in XRP’s price. Related Reading: Dogecoin Trades Within Multi-Year Ascending Channel – Expert Sets $15 Price Target Despite the initial disappointment, key on-chain metrics from Santiment paint a more optimistic picture for XRP. Data reveals that whales—large holders of XRP—bought over 100 million tokens in the past 48 hours. This significant accumulation suggests that big players remain confident in XRP’s long-term potential, even amid temporary market uncertainty. The buying spree by whales comes at a crucial time, as XRP tests key support levels near $3.10. With strong on-chain activity and institutional interest, the cryptocurrency appears to be building a foundation for a potential recovery. Investors are now closely watching for signs of renewed momentum as the market digests recent events. While the short-term outlook remains cautious, XRP’s resilience and the growing confidence of major players could set the stage for a rebound in the coming days. XRP Showing Strength XRP has broken through critical levels, reaching new all-time highs last Thursday, marking its highest price since January 2018. This milestone has reignited bullish sentiment among investors, with many confident that XRP will continue trending upward despite the market’s ongoing volatility. As one of the top-performing assets in the current cycle, XRP’s resilience and upward trajectory are capturing the attention of both retail and institutional investors. The market remains optimistic about XRP’s short-term and long-term prospects, fueled by strong technical and fundamental signals. Renowned analyst Ali Martinez recently highlighted key data from Santiment, revealing significant whale activity. The data shows whales have accumulated over 100 million XRP in the past 48 hours, indicating strong ongoing accumulation. This substantial buying activity suggests that major players are preparing for further upside, reinforcing confidence in XRP’s potential for sustained growth.

Investors are closely watching for signs of sustained strength, with the expectation that XRP will lead the market into new territory. If the bullish trends continue, XRP is well-positioned to remain a standout performer in the ongoing crypto rally. Price Action: Key Levels To Watch XRP is currently trading at $3.09, following a period of heightened volatility and market uncertainty.

As President-elect Donald Trump prepares for his inauguration on January 20, the crypto community is buzzing with anticipation regarding the potential impact of his administration on digital assets. Analysts are closely examining which crypto assets may benefit the most during this pivotal period, especially given Trump’s vocal support for making the United States a leader in the crypto space. Market expert Xremlin suggests that Trump’s presidency could usher in a “golden era” for crypto. His analysis focuses on US-founded coins and assets linked to the Trump family, indicating that the inauguration might catalyze significant price movements for certain altcoins. Notably, Eric Trump has publicly shared his investments in Sui (SUI), Solana (SOL), Ethereum (ETH), and Bitcoin (BTC), suggesting a focus on already established cryptocurrencies. The Leading Crypto Contenders Ethereum (ETH): The analyst shares that Ethereum remains a cornerstone of the crypto ecosystem, known for its smart contract functionality and diverse use cases. He suggests that as a leading platform for decentralized applications (dApps), its significance in the market is undeniable, making it a staple in any crypto portfolio. Bitcoin (BTC): Often referred to as digital gold, Bitcoin is the most recognized cryptocurrency and serves as a benchmark for the entire market. Xremlin observes its potential inclusion in a US Strategic Bitcoin reserve could further solidify its status and drive additional interest from institutional investors. Solana (SOL): As a US-founded blockchain with a robust user base, Solana has gained attention for its speed and scalability.

Sui (SUI): Positioned as a direct competitor to Solana, Sui boasts higher transactions per second (TPS) but still lacks a significant user base. Being US-founded, it reportedly stands to gain from any favorable regulatory developments that may arise during Trump’s administration. World Liberty: Initiated by the Trump family, is another one to watch, according to Xremlin. Although it has yet to launch, its connection to the Trump name could reportedly generate price spikes once it enters the market. Additional Contenders For The “Trump Trade” Beyond the aforementioned digital assets, Xremlin highlights several other US-founded projects are gaining traction and could play a role in the so-called “Trump trade”: Ripple (XRP): Known for its blockchain-based payment protocol, Ripple facilitates real-time cross-border payments, making it a key player for financial institutions. Chainlink (LINK): As a blockchain-agnostic platform, Chainlink connects various chains to major financial institutions, enabling seamless data connectivity and interoperability.

The SEC's filing against Nova Labs came just days before Gary Gensler, SEC chair and crypto critic, is set to step down from leading the agency.
Bitcoin's chance of hitting a new all-time high has increased, buoyed by expectations of the adoption of a US Bitcoin reserve.
The XRP price has rallied to its all-time high (ATH) of $3.4, sparking bullish sentiment in the XRP community. This price surge is due to bullish fundamentals, including Donald Trump’s receptiveness to a crypto reserve that would include the coin. Factors Behind The XRP Rally To Its ATH CoinMarketCap data shows that the XRP price rallied to $3.40 yesterday, a price level that represents its current all-time high (ATH) on some exchanges like Binance and Kraken. This price surge has occurred due to several factors, including a report that Donald Trump is receptive to the idea of an America-first strategic reserve. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price Above $100,000 Renews Hope, Analyst Reveals The Cycle Top As Bitcoinist reported, this initiative would focus on cryptocurrencies that were founded in the US, including XRP, Solana, and USDC. This is bullish for these coins, as it would lead to greater adoption for them. This news already sparked a bullish sentiment among investors, leading to this XRP price surge. Before now, these investors, especially crypto whales, were accumulating, another factor contributing to the XRP price surge. Bitcoinist reported that this category of investors had bought 1.43 billion coins in two months. This is massive, considering how these accumulation trends always lead to price discovery, which is being witnessed with XRP at the moment. This accumulation trend looks to have intensified on the news of the potential crypto reserve involving XRP. CoinMarketData shows that the coin’s trading volume has surged by 7% in the last 24 hours, with $24.18 billion traded during this period. This surge in trading volume has also contributed to the XRP price rally. Meanwhile, it is worth mentioning that the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filed its opening brief in its appeal against Ripple. However, this development was considered bullish for the XRP price, as the Commission did not dispute Judge Analisa Torres’ ruling that XRP isn’t a security. Why The Price Surge Is Likely To Continue The XRP price surge will likely continue based on its bullish fundamentals and technicals. From a fundamental perspective, Donald Trump is set to take office on January 20, meaning that this crypto reserve, which will include XRP, could come to life sooner rather than later. Trump’s administration is also bullish for XRP because of the possible emergence of pro-crypto Paul Atkins as the next SEC Chair.

Crypto analyst CasiTrades predicted that XRP will break its ATH and rally to between $8 and $13.
