A powerful message has emerged from a recent episode of the Good Evening Crypto YouTube show that urged XRP holders to rethink their exit strategy ahead of what may be one of the most pivotal crypto cycles yet. Host Abdullah Nassif “Abs” issued a strong caution against selling XRP by pointing to a combination of regulatory progress and tokenization of real-world assets as signs that the current cycle may just be getting started for the XRP price. The One Rule XRP Holders Must Remember Abs amplified a sentiment shared by a speaker who stressed that XRP holders should not sell, especially not during the coming price spikes. “Hold a minimum of 10,000 units in a cold storage,” the speaker said. “Selling is the worst possible thing you can do to an XRP. If you sell your XRP when the price bumps, you’re going to cause a problem.” Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst This advice is based on the outlook that XRP is set to benefit from the coming wave of real-world asset tokenization. Abs argued that trillions of dollars are on the verge of flowing into blockchain ecosystems through tokenized assets, with the XRP Ledger expected to capture a significant portion of that activity. “From just a few billion today, tokenization is forecasted to grow to $19 trillion by 2030,” he said. That growth, coupled with XRP’s central role in facilitating this future, means current holders are sitting on what could become generational wealth if they resist the urge to exit too soon. Throughout the episode, the host and his co-host, “Johnny Crypto,” outlined a series of catalysts they believe will push the XRP price into a new era. Among them is the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a $1.6 trillion economic stimulus package that could flood markets with liquidity. According to Abs, this money will drive regular investors into risk-on assets like XRP. He also touched on legal developments, noting the SEC may be nearing a decision to drop its appeal in the ongoing Ripple case. Another positive catalyst is the possible approval of 19 different XRP ETFs that are set to launch around October 18. According to him, when XRP starts registering daily closings above $3.25, the price chart is going to move in ways never seen before. As such, there’s also the possibility of XRP reaching the double-digit threshold above $10 in 2025. Still, XRP investors should not make the mistake of selling. The Case For Holding Long-Term Interestingly, co-host Johnny Crypto also noted that the most positive catalyst of all is if Fed Chair Jed Powell gets booted and a new Fed Chair comes in that lowers interest rates. “That means all bets are on for risk-on assets, and crypto will probably be the number one beneficiary,” he said. Related Reading: XRP Wave 3 Could Repeat 600% Surge From Nov 2025, Target Set For $15 Johnny Crypto also added a personal layer to the discussion by sharing a painful lesson from his past. In 1997, he sold a large amount of Amazon stock he owned far too early, a decision that cost him $52 million in missed gains. This time, he said, the strategy is different. Although he might sell about 30% of his holdings, selling the entire stash is not an option. He mentioned that he’s considering placing his XRP in a trust or even borrowing against it to maintain long-term exposure. Johnny also issued a broader warning, noting that banks may attempt to take control of crypto assets like XRP from retail holders in the near future. “We’re not that far away,” he said. “Probably in the next one year, we’ll hear about banks costing crypto.” At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.26.

A major breakthrough has just arrived for Bitcoin and the crypto industry from one of the most influential financial regulatory bodies in the United States. The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which oversees the country’s largest mortgage liquidity providers, has issued a directive that could change how digital assets are viewed. Under this directive, mortgage liquidity providers have been officially ordered to begin preparations for considering cryptocurrencies as part of a borrower’s asset portfolio during mortgage evaluations. Crypto As Mortgage-Eligible Asset In a recent post on the social media platform X, FHFA Director Bill Pulte issued a directive instructing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to prepare proposals that allow homebuyers to count cryptocurrency holdings held on US-regulated exchanges as part of their asset reserves for mortgage applications without converting them into dollars. Related Reading: These Companies Are Following Saylor’s Strategy Into The Bitcoin Battleground With Over $2 Billion Slated To Buy BTC Crypto assets have always been excluded from mortgage risk assessments unless converted to U.S. dollars before closing. However, this recent move breaks that barrier. This policy shift aligns with former President Donald Trump’s campaigns to establish the United States as the crypto capital of the world. Pulte, who was recently sworn in as the 5th Director of U.S. Federal Housing FHFA in March 2025, is now part of those taking steps to make this vision a reality. According to the order, both Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac must also factor in market volatility and enforce strong risk-based adjustments before implementing the new assessment method. Fannie and Freddie are government-sponsored enterprises that do not issue mortgages themselves but play an important role in the housing market by purchasing home loans on the secondary market and setting the criteria for the loans they are willing to acquire. Bitcoin To Benefit The Most, But Where Does XRP Stand? Bitcoin is going to benefit the most from this policy update. Being the largest and most widely held cryptocurrency, Bitcoin has long been considered the digital gold standard, which makes it a natural candidate for institutional recognition. Related Reading: Crypto Pundit Reveals Why This Bitcoin Bull Market Feels Different As Crypto Enters ‘New Era’ Its established presence on U.S.-regulated exchanges and deep liquidity profile through Spot Bitcoin ETFs tick nearly every box laid out in the FHFA’s directive. However, the decision raises an important question for XRP holders as to whether the same regulation will be extended to XRP. Unlike Bitcoin, XRP has had a complicated history with regulatory agencies in the US, most notably the SEC. Although recent legal clarity around XRP has allowed the crypto to resume trading on major US-based exchanges, it isn’t really certain whether Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will be quick to include it under this new directive. Nonetheless, the FHFA’s directive doesn’t specify eligible tokens. It simply refers to cryptocurrencies held on US-regulated exchanges. As such, the directive could be quick to include US-based cryptocurrencies like XRP and Ethereum alongside Bitcoin. Other countries are already far ahead with XRP in real estate. In Japan, for instance, Open House Group allows XRP payments for property purchases in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. Dubai is also using the XRP Ledger to tokenize real estate.

The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is witnessing increased network activity, which is bullish for its native token’s price. On-chain data also shows that whales are actively accumulating XRP, with the addresses holding one million coins recently reaching a new high. XRP Ledger Records Massive Growth In Past Week In an X post, on-chain analytics platform Santiment revealed that the XRP Ledger is showing signs of growth, from both a usage and key stakeholder perspective. The platform revealed that there are now over 2,700 whale and shark wallets holding at least 1 million XRP for the first time in the token’s 12-year history. Related Reading: Is There A “Secret XRP Ledger” And Is The Price Really At $1,000? Additionally, Santiment stated that the number of active XRP addresses has averaged over 295,000 daily over the past week. This is notable as the normal daily average over the past three months was between 35,000 and 40,000. It is worth mentioning that the XRPL recorded some major developments last week. One is the launch of Circle’s USDC stablecoin on the XRP Ledger. This is expected to boost network activity given the increasing demand for stablecoins. Crypto analyst Moon Lambo predicted that this would increase the total value locked (TVL) on the network. He also noted how this was bullish for the XRP price, since users will need the token for every USDC transaction. Furthermore, Ondo Finance launched its tokenized US treasury fund (OUSG) on the XRP Ledger last week, which could have also contributed to the surge in network activity. The BlackRock-backed fund will be mintable and redeemable using the RLUSD stablecoin. Meanwhile, Guggenheim also recently partnered with Ripple to launch the first Digital Commercial Paper on the XRPL. Expert Predicts Price Rally Above $4 Amid the surge in network activity on the XRPL, crypto analyst Javon Marks has predicted that the XRP price could rally above $4 and even reach as high as $8. He stated that the altcoin is holding a clear breakout and is getting ready for a major bullish continuation. Marks added that the targets are at $4.80 and $8, marking new all-time highs (ATHs) for XRP. Related Reading: These Factors Will Drive XRP Price To $25-$75 In June – Analyst Crypto analyst Dark Defender recently alluded to a previous analysis in which he stated that the XRP price could make a decision within two weeks. The analyst is confident that the altcoin could rally to as high as $6 on this Wave 5 impulsive move to the upside. He has also previously predicted that XRP would reach double digits in this market cycle. On the other hand, it is worth mentioning that the XRP price has again dropped below the $2.25 level. Crypto analyst CasiTrades had warned that the support levels at $2.01, $1.90, and $1.55 could be in play if the $2.25 level holds as resistance. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.16, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicted that XRP could soon take a chunk of SWIFT’s trading volume. Meanwhile, Circle’s USDC recently launched on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Both developments could provide a huge boost for the XRP price, given the altcoin’s role in the XRPL ecosystem. XRP Price Gets A Boost With Ripple CEO Garlinghouse’s Prediction At the XRPL Apex Conference, Brad Garlinghouse predicted that the XRP could capture 14% of the volume that SWIFT processes by 2030. He noted that SWIFT has two key components: messaging and liquidity. The Ripple CEO added that liquidity is where the power lies and that if XRP drives the liquidity layer, it would gain significantly. This could also spark a surge in the XRP price in the process. Related Reading: Ripple Issues Stern Warning To Investors As CEO Celebrates New XRP Milestone Ripple uses XRP for its payment services, which it runs on the XRPL. In this case, Ripple is betting on taking 14% of SWIFT’s trading volume because of how fast and easy it is to process these cross-border transactions using blockchain technology. This isn’t the case for SWIFT, as the platform focuses more on interbank messaging for these cross-border transfers. In a now-deleted X post, pro-XRP lawyer John Deaton commented on this prediction and what it could mean for the XRP price. He stated that SWIFT processes approximately $5 trillion in transactions daily. This means that 14% of SWIFT’s daily market volume equates to $700 billion daily or approximately $175 trillion annually. Deaton failed to give a particular price prediction based on these numbers. However, Fruition, another XRP community member, provided a calculation that could put the XRP price in triple digits. In an X post, they noted that SWIFT moves 150 trillion per year and that 14% of that is 21 trillion. Fruition added that 21 trillion through the XRPL means 58 billion tokens, which equates to $357 for the XRP price. Circle’s USDC Launches On XRPL In an X post, Circle announced that its USDC stablecoin is now available on the XRP Ledger, another development that is bullish for the XRP price. The stablecoin firm noted that XRPL users will now be able to use USDC for DeFi liquidity provisioning, payments, and it could also serve as a settlement option for infrastructure apps. Related Reading: Daily Timeframe Says XRP Price Is On The Verge Of Breakout Crypto analyst Moon Lambo broke down why the USDC launch on XRPL is bullish for the XRP price. He stated that this development will substantially increase the total value locked on the network, which is a major predictor of whether the XRP price will appreciate. The crypto analyst added how this provides additional utility for XRP. He noted that the altcoin will be used to pay gas fees on every USDC transaction on the network. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.15, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has achieved another impressive milestone with the Dubai Land Department’s announcement of a $16 billion real estate tokenization project on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). This development has been lauded as one of the factors that could spark an XRP price rally. XRP Records Milestone With New Dubai Land Department Project In a press release, Ctrl Alt revealed that it has partnered with Dubai Land Department (DLD) to develop a secure and compliant tokenization framework. The project will focus on structuring, minting, and tokenizing real estate deeds on the blockchain. The release also mentioned that the XRP Ledger has been chosen for the tokenization project, representing a huge achievement for the XRP ecosystem. Related Reading: Is There A “Secret XRP Ledger” And Is The Price Really At $1,000? 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. Brazil’s Braza Group announced that its new USD-backed stablecoin, USDB, will launch on the XRP Ledger. This will give individuals and institutions a seamless and secure way to move value across borders. It is worth mentioning that Braza had already launched the BBRL, a Real-backed stablecoin, on the XRP Ledger earlier this year.

Crypto analyst Cryptoinsight has provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that it could soon rally to as high as $12. He alluded to fundamentals and technicals, which could spark this parabolic rally. What Could Spark The XRP Price Rally To $12 In a YouTube video, Cryptoinsight highlighted the Dubai Land Department’s recent move to launch a tokenization platform on the XRP Ledger (XRPL) as one of the catalysts that could spark the XRP price rally to $12. He also mentioned other recent partnerships and major moves Ripple has made as factors that could contribute to the price surge. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth One is the crypto firm’s acquisition of the prime broker Hidden Road, which is expected to boost the XRP Ledger’s utility. This is ultimately bullish for the XRP price as the network’s native token. The crypto analyst also mentioned the alleged link between Hidden Road and the DTCC, which enables the prime broker to process trillions of dollars in US Treasury trades daily. Cryptoinsight also noted that Ripple has acquired a payments license in Dubai, which is bullish for the XRP price, since it is the native token of the crypto firm’s payment services. He alluded to reports of the crypto firm allegedly looking to acquire USDC issuer Circle and the XRP ETFs, whose approval odds continue to soar. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse recently discussed crypto ETFs, which the analyst believes could be a hint that these ETFs will be approved soon. Lastly, he mentioned the XRP lawsuit as another event that could be a catalyst if the long-running legal battle ends soon. Cryptoinsight predicts that the XRP price rally to $12 could happen in the next few months. From a technical perspective, he also highlighted bullish indicators like a bull flag that had formed on XRP’s weekly chart. The crypto analyst stated that momentum is starting to reverse to the upside and that buyers could step in soon. The Altcoin On The Verge Of A Local Low In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades stated that the XRP price hasn’t made a local low yet but is on the verge of doing that. She remarked that all signs point to a retest of the $2.25 to $2.26 zone. The analyst added that this is a major structural support that aligns with the macro .382 retracement and has been a key level for the last six months. Related Reading: XRP Price Explosion To $5.9: Current Consolidation Won’t Stop XRP From Growing If that support zone holds, she claimed it could mark the base for a new wave toward $2.70. However, if it breaks, the deeper support levels at $1.90 and $1.55 would come back into focus, meaning that the altcoin could still drop below the psychological $2 level before the next leg up.

Despite its current lackluster price action, many crypto analysts have agreed through various analyses over the past few years that XRP has a very bright parabolic rally ahead. This sentiment has particularly gained ground due to its price action in Q4 2024, leading to a multi-year high of $3.34 in January 2025. Although XRP has retraced quite a bit from this high, this hasn’t stopped bold long-term projections from resurfacing. One of the more striking forecasts comes from a crypto analyst who believes the altcoin will not only rally into double digits soon but eventually stabilize at $1,000 and become one of the most expensive digital assets in the world. Analyst Predicts The Altcoin Will Hit $10 To $20 Before Entering New Bear Market Crypto market commentator BarriC shared a post on social media platform X outlining a future price trajectory for XRP that begins with a major surge in the coming months. BarriC’s post begins by criticizing the perception that the current price range, which remains below $3, reflects failure. Instead, he views this phase as an accumulation opportunity before a massive breakout. Related Reading: $10,000 XRP Theory: Factors Analyst Shares Scenarios That Could Drive Growth According to the analyst, there’s a high possibility that the XRP price will climb to somewhere between $10 and $20 in the next few months. Such a move would undoubtedly be accompanied by a surge in the trading volume and activity surrounding XRP. One such primer is if the cryptocurrency somehow gains full utility and adoption with banks in the next few months, or through the launch of a Spot XRP ETF. This surge, BarriC noted, would likely coincide with the final stages of the current altcoin season. Following that, he expects a significant market correction, similar to past cycles, which would bring XRP back down to the $5 to $10 range. Previous cycles dating back to 2016 have typically ended with a sharp 50% market dip. If this happens again, the lower boundary for the next cycle could land between $5 and $10. This mid-cycle dip, according to BarriC, will be the last time XRP is considered cheap before it enters a fundamentally different phase. Banks And Institutional Adoption To Tie Up XRP At $1,000 Permanently BarriC’s prediction is ultimately based on banks’ mass institutional adoption of XRP. He noted that when the asset becomes deeply integrated into the daily operations of banks and financial institutions, we will see a $1,000 XRP. Once trillions of dollars begin flowing consistently through the XRP Ledger, there will be no more volatility and bear market phases for its price. Related Reading: XRP Price At $10-$20 Only The Beginning, It’s Headed For $1,000 – Analyst Reveals At that point, BarriC believes the altcoin will stabilize at a $1,000 valuation, not as a temporary peak but as a structural price floor. In this case, future investors may only be able to afford fractions of one XRP, much like Bitcoin currently. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.30, down by 2.35% in the past 24 hours. XRP has been steadily declining from $2.62 in the past seven days. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Blockchain technology is receiving a boost with the XRP Ledger, based on recent findings from industry observers. The system has handled over 2.8 billion transactions without any security failure, which has caught the eye of financial institutions globally. Related Reading: XRP Breakout On Hold? Financial Expert Reveals What’s Missing Institutions Are Taking Notice According to Jasmine Cooper, RippleX Head of Product, the effectiveness of XRPL is one of the major reasons institutional investors are drawn to it. Institutional asset issuers and investors are using XRPL more because of its speed and reliability. For example, OpenEden has recently hit milestones in tokenizing US Treasury bills on the platform. Institutional investors are purchasing these tokenized assets that desire access to on-chain financial instruments. BlackRock, the global asset management titan, is also making a push into asset tokenization, lining up with XRPL’s platform. Regulated exchanges like Archax are even listing tokenized assets created on the ledger, and it’s becoming more acceptable to mainstream financial institutions. XRP Ledger Adoption is Surging! Institutions, DeFi, Stablecoins, Tokenization Jasmine Cooper, Head of Product at RippleX, joined me to discuss the latest and the greatest with the XRP Ledger. 02:34 Jasmine’s background 04:43 Real Estate on Blockchain 06:18 RippleX overview… pic.twitter.com/HkC2ubbflA — Tony Edward (Thinking Crypto Podcast) (@ThinkingCrypto1) March 23, 2025 Real Estate Gears Up For Blockchain XRPL is revolutionizing the way people buy and sell real estate by enabling tokenization. Firms such as Propy utilize it to facilitate automatic property sales, minimizing paperwork and accelerating transactions. This facilitates real estate trading and makes it more accessible. This change might have a huge effect on an industry that is normally sluggish and convoluted. Through blockchain, XRPL assists in making transactions easy yet secure and reliable. DeFi Growing On XRPL DeFi on XRPL is gaining traction, owing to fresh technology such as the Automated Market Maker (AMM). The functionality allows traders to exchange assets and provide liquidity directly on the blockchain, eliminating the role of centralized exchanges. RippleX is also looking to simplify XRPL for developers. The firm is introducing an Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) sidechain that enables developers to create Ethereum-based smart contracts with the advantage of XRPL’s low-cost, high-speed transactions. This element is likely to have more DeFi projects hitting the ledger and improve its connectivity with other blockchain networks.

Crypto pundit Andrei Jikh has reignited the $100 XRP price target, sparking a bullish sentiment in the XRP community. The analyst outlined several factors that could contribute to the parabolic rally to the ambitious $100 target. Factors That Could Contribute To The $100 XRP Price Target In a YouTube video, Jikh highlighted a potential end to the Ripple SEC lawsuit as one of the factors that could spark the XRP price rally to the $100 target. He cited the SEC’s removal of the Ripple case from its website, which indicates that legal pressure is easing. The Commission’s agreement with Binance to pause their ongoing legal battle has also sparked optimism that the Ripple lawsuit could soon end. Related Reading: XRP Price Enters Golden Pocket: Analyst Says It’s A Good Buy At These Levels Jikh then alluded to a Nasdaq report stating that 80% of Japanese banks are set to adopt XRP for global payments. The analyst is confident that this move will cause adoption to skyrocket, which could contribute to the projected rally to $100. He noted that Japan’s banking system is huge, which makes this a big deal for the altcoin. Furthermore, the crypto pundit highlighted the potential approval of the XRP ETFs as another factor that could drive the XRP price to the $100 target. He noted how the Bitcoin price surged to new highs after the Bitcoin ETFs were approved, and Jikh believes something similar could happen. Another factor that the crypto analyst believes could contribute to the XRP price rally to $100 is the possibility of Ripple’s payment system replacing SWIFT. He highlighted how the global payment industry is worth trillions of dollars. As such, Ripple processing a huge chunk of these global payments could cause XRP’s utility and demand to skyrocket, ultimately impacting its price. Other Bullish Fundamentals For The Altcoin Meanwhile, Jikh also alluded to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ripple’s Real USD (RLUSD) as factors that could contribute to the XRP price rally to $100. He noted that the XRPL processes around 1,500 transactions, making it a potential option for tokenization plans, which is bullish for the asset. Related Reading: XRP Bulls Shake Off Crash, Target This Major Resistance On The Road To $3.85 If the XRPL becomes the go-to platform for tokenizing real-world assets such as stocks and bonds, this will help drive demand up and make the crypto more valuable. The RLUSD stablecoin is also bullish for XRP as its burn mechanism helps remove XRP from circulation as its utility grows. Jikh then alluded to the possibility of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse being on the White House Crypto Advisory Council. This is especially bullish for the XRP price as Garlinghouse being on the Council could cement its place in the newly-created US sovereign wealth fund. At the time of writing, the asset’s price is trading at around $2.55, up over 4% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
