Following the XRP price’s stellar performance in the current bull cycle, a crypto analyst has now predicted that the value of the third-largest cryptocurrency could soon soar to $10 or more in 2025. This bullish projection is backed by several key factors expected to drive strong demand and boost global adoption. Factors That Could Push XRP Price To $10 Unlike past cycles, when XRP pumped toward the tail end of the bull market, this time, it has emerged as one of the top-performing altcoins early on. Expanding on this impressive performance, X (formerly Twitter) crypto analyst and XRP supporter Edo Farina has shared a video analysis of the cryptocurrency, predicting the token’s potential price outlook and outlining different factors that could drive this surge. Related Reading: Analyst Says These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $1,000, But What Does Market Cap Say? The analyst has highlighted the influence of Bitcoin Dominance (BTC.D), which he sees as a critical indicator for altcoin movements. According to him, BTC.D currently remains relatively high. However, historically, the dominance dropped from 40% to 30%, marking the onset of the altcoin season. This expected drop in Bitcoin’s Dominance could serve as the trigger for a broader altcoin market breakout, positioning the XRP price for a potential 4X rally from current levels. According to Farina, a 4X jump from $2.39 could easily propel XRP toward the $10 mark. Key to this optimism and bullish outlook is the recent resolution of the lawsuit between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Ripple. With legal battles seemingly behind it, XRP is no longer classified as a security in the US, giving Ripple the green light to offer the token to financial institutions. Farina has suggested that this newfound regulatory clarity is expected to bolster investor confidence and lay the groundwork for global adoption. Achieving a $10 price point will also require more than a shift in market sentiment. Farina explains that it will depend heavily on XRP’s integration into the global financial system. The analyst argues that XRP must become the cornerstone, especially in cross-border payments and Real World Asset (RWA) tokenization. Ripple has already taken significant steps in this direction, reportedly playing a role in the roll-out of the digital Euro. Ripple is also making strategic acquisitions, such as its acquisition of Hidden Road and the potential purchase of Circle, which could exponentially expand its influence in traditional finance. The analyst further notes that the possible launch of XRP ETFs could significantly impact the token’s price dynamics. If approved by the SEC and more ETFs hit the market, investor demand is expected to skyrocket, potentially driving prices toward or even beyond $10 in 2025. How Much Will 1,000 XRP Be Worth In 2025? In his analysis, Farina estimated how much 1,000 XRP could be worth in 2025 if its price surges to $10 and above. At $10, a modest holding of 1,000 XRP would be worth $10,000. Related Reading: XRP Price Still On Bullish Path To $5 As Long As This Level Holds If financial adoption accelerates as Farina projects, XRP could climb well beyond $10, potentially reaching $100. In that scenario, a 1,000 XRP bag could soar to $100,000 profit, potentially offering life-changing returns for long-term investors. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
XRP prices moved by almost 3% in the past day as the crypto market bounce continues. However, the prominent altcoin remains in danger of significant market downside. According to renowned X market expert Crypto Egrag, XRP must close above certain price levels to invalidate this bearish pattern and validate its bullish trajectory. Related Reading: Major XRP Accumulation Alert: Wallets Holding Over 10,000 Coins Cross 300,000 XRP Faces Critical Resistance At $2.41-$2.45, But $2.96 Represents Ultimate Challenge In a recent series of X posts, Egrag Crypto has previously stated that XRP was at a major crossroads facing a pivotal breakout or a potential retest. In line with the crypto market, XRP has seen a sustained price rebound since mid-April, gaining by 35.95%. However, Egrag Crypto warns that the altcoin is facing major resistance at the price range between $2.41-$2.45, which aligns with the descending trend line of the market correction that had dominated the first quarter of 2025. To strengthen the bullish case of its recent breakout, the analyst explains that XRP must move and stay above this price resistance, thereby neutralizing the bearish outlook. If XRP fails to make a convincing breakout above $2.41-$2.45 and slips into consolidation, the altcoin faces the potential of a retest to around $1.2-$1.3, representing a potential 46.05% decline from today’s price. However, the analyst explains that such a retest would only provide a massive accumulation opportunity as the long-term outlook for XRP still remains bullish. In a following post on May 10, Egrag Crypto states XRP must also reclaim the $2.96 price zone to confirm a sustainable uptrend. Notably, the $2.96 price level represents the next major price resistance after the descending trendline and is the closest to the current local market top.

On larger time frames, the altcoin holders are in significant profits as indicated by gains of 10.17% and 23.37% on the weekly and monthly charts, respectively. Generally, the market sentiment among XRP investors remains bullish, especially following recent developments in the legal case between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). On May 8, the SEC announced a settlement that includes the return of $75 million held in escrow to Ripple, which comes months after the Commission signaled its intentions to terminate its appeal case against the blockchain company. With a market cap of $241.95 billion, XRP remains the fourth-largest cryptocurrency and third-largest altcoin in the digital asset space. Featured image from Pexels, chart from Tradingview

XRP’s price outlook has taken an unexpected twist as one of its most ardent supporters, EGRAG CRYPTO, issued a short-term bearish prediction. Known across the crypto community for his unwavering bullish stance on XRP, EGRAG’s latest forecast has caught many by surprise. In a post shared on social media platform X, the analyst warned that the current market structure could push XRP into a significant short-term decline before any meaningful recovery unfolds. EGRAG CRYPTO Warns Of Potential Drop Toward $1.24 Before Rally According to EGRAG CRYPTO, the immediate technical outlook for XRP points to the possibility of a sharp correction. Backing up his forecast, EGRAG CRYPTO shared a detailed price chart showing the current position within a broader bull market structure. The chart shows how XRP is currently trading below the bull market support band. Notably, XRP’s position below the bull market support band has dragged on for over month, ever since it broke below in the middle of March. The longer XRP continues to trade below this band, the higher the possibility of a significant retest. Related Reading: XRP Surpasses Ethereum In This Major Metric After Outperforming For 6 Months EGRAG CRYPTO noted that the XRP price has failed so far to reclaim the $2.33 and $2.45 resistance zones, which sit at the upper edge of the bull market support band on the daily timeframe chart. He explained that as long as the price continues to trade under the $2.33 and $2.45 thresholds, bears could remain in control and drag the asset lower toward the 0.702 Fib extension level. In terms of a price target, this 0.702 Fib is currently sitting at $1.24, which means the price could crash towards this level before rebounding above the bull market support band. Interestingly, this $1.24 zone coincides with an important breakout structure from November 2024, which served as the launchpad for XRP’s rally to $3.4. Consequently, retesting this zone could serve as a validation of prior breakout strength and ultimately fuel a more sustainable long-term uptrend. EGRAG CRYPTO’s Advice: Accumulate XRP Instead Of Panic Selling Despite his short-term bearish tone, EGRAG urged holders not to panic or make emotional decisions. Addressing concerns he anticipated from followers, he made it clear that he does not advise selling XRP to try and time a lower re-entry. Instead, he encouraged the community to continue accumulating during the predicted dip, rather than chasing short-term market trends.

In another analysis, EGRAG CRYPTO predicted a long-term XRP price target of $27. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.27, up by 5.13% and 7.26% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. This comes as a response to ProShares securing SEC approval to launch three XRP Futures ETFs on April 30. Similarly, the first XRP Spot ETF was recently launched by crypto asset manager Hashdex in Brazil. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
