According to comments from Ripple CTO David Schwartz, XRP is still at the heart of Ripple’s payments system, even as the company highlights its new stablecoin, RLUSD. Related Reading: XRP Traders Pull Back $2.4B—Brace For Impact Or Buy The Dip? Ripple’s lead tech officer stressed that XRP remains the primary bridge asset in cross-border transactions—and that wider use of the XRP Ledger will keep boosting the altcoin’s utility and value. XRP Remains Core To Ripple Payments In a recent exchange, an XRP supporter pointed out that Ripple now mentions RLUSD more often than XRP. Schwartz replied that he doesn’t have the exact figures on hand, but he’s sure that Ripple uses XRP far more than any other digital asset for its payments service. I don’t have the numbers in front of me, but I’m pretty sure XRP’s use as a bridge in Ripple Payments dwarfs every other asset. I think stablecoins win for collateral use cases (volatile collateral is annoying) and edge use cases (volatility at the on/off ramps is also… — David ‘JoelKatz’ Schwartz (@JoelKatz) July 30, 2025 Based on reports, XRP still dominates as the bridge currency when moving money from one fiat to another. That role helps institutions send funds quickly and cheaply, even when market swings might make a stablecoin less ideal. Ripple launched RLUSD in December 2024 to meet demand for price stability. According to Schwartz, stablecoins like RLUSD make sense in use cases that depend on a fixed value—such as when firms use crypto assets as collateral or enter and exit markets without risking 5% swings overnight. He noted that Hidden Road, one of Ripple’s big partners that works with over 300 institutions, chose RLUSD as its main collateral asset in May 2025. That move shows RLUSD’s appeal for stability-focused tasks. Stablecoin Role Versus Altcoin Utility Schwartz drew a clear line between the two tokens. For tasks where price predictability matters most, a stablecoin helps avoid hiccups. But for the majority of payments, he believes a liquid asset like XRP does a better job—unless someone wants to avoid risk entirely. Holding major digital assets can capture upside, and XRP fits that need better than cash, he said. Adoption Drives XRP Demand Looking ahead, Schwartz stressed that real-world use of the XRP Ledger will naturally drive more demand for the crypto. As more projects and institutions tap into XRPL’s fast transaction speeds and low fees, they’ll need XRP to power each move. That design makes it harder to sidestep the coin’s native token than it is on other networks, where developers can wrap or bypass the base coin entirely. Schwartz’s remarks arrive amid community worries that XRP is being sidelined in favor of stablecoins. The choice by Hidden Road to back RLUSD raised eyebrows back in May 2025. Related Reading: Don’t Blink: 1,000 XRP Could Be The Best Move You’ve Made—Expert XRP’s Use Case But by highlighting how deeply XRP is woven into XRPL’s mechanics—and reminding investors that the altcoin’s volume still outstrips any other asset in Ripple Payments—Schwartz sent a clear message: XRP’s use won’t fade, even as stablecoins gain ground. Based on these comments, Ripple appears to be taking a two-pronged approach: use RLUSD where price stability is critical, and rely on XRP for its proven liquidity and built-in role on the ledger. That strategy could help keep both tokens busy in different parts of the crypto economy, ensuring XRP stays relevant even as new products emerge. Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView
BTC bulls need to overcome the 161.8% Fib extension, the so-called golden ratio.
Crypto analyst Dark Defender has provided an update on his XRP price wave structure. He revealed that the altcoin is now in wave 4 and highlighted the targets and support levels that market participants should watch out for at the altcoin’s current price level. Wave 4 For The XRP Price In Progress In an X post, Dark Defender stated that wave 4 is in progress for the XRP price. He added that the Relative Strength Index (RSI) also reflects the 4th wave consolidation. The analyst had also stated that the altcoin has completed Waves 1, 2, and 3. His accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could again retest the $3 support level as part of a corrective move to the downside. Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ A successful hold above this support level, $3.07 specifically, is expected to trigger the next impulsive move to the upside for the XRP price. Dark Defender predicts that the altcoin could rally to as high as $5.8563 on this Wave 5 impulsive move. He added that the targets are $3.61, the current all-time high (ATH), and then $5.85, which would mark a new ATH for XRP. Crypto analyst Javon Marks had also recently predicted that the XRP price could soon rally to a new ATH. He noted that the altcoin is holding well, far above the $2.47 support level, meaning that the next target is $4.804. The analyst added that a break above this $4.804 level could spark another rally to $7.138. A rally to $7.138 will represent a surge of 128.78% from the current XRP price level. It is worth noting that the altcoin is already up over 35% year-to-date (YTD), rising to the third largest crypto by market cap in the process. All Eyes On XRP’s Monthly Close In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto remarked that the focus is on the XRP price staying above $3.03 for the monthly close. He noted that a close above this level would mark the first-ever historical candle close above this level in XRP’s journey. As such, he declared that market participants could soon witness history in the making. Related Reading: Prepare For ATHs: ‘XRP Train Has Left The Station – Analyst If the XRP price achieves the monthly close above $3.03, Egrag Crypto stated that a rally to the Chasm at $8.9 is the minimum target for the altcoin in this market cycle. He also suggested that XRP could surpass this target and declared that this is where the “real fun” starts. His accompanying chart showed that a rally to as high as $32 was also on the cards. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.14, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Analysts highlighted concerns over the Fed's independence, with two Trump-appointed officials dissenting in favor of a rate cut on Wednesday.
XRP price started a downside correction below the $3.120 zone. The price is now attempting a recovery and might aim for a move above the $3.1650 level. XRP price is attempting to start a fresh increase from the $3.00 zone. The price is now trading below $3.180 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $3.00 zone. XRP Price Eyes Upside Break XRP price started a fresh decline below the $3.20 zone, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $3.120 and $3.080 support levels. The bears even pushed the price below the $3.020 support zone. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $3.00 level. A low was formed at $2.999 and the price is now attempting a recovery wave. There was a move above the $3.050 and $3.080 levels. The price surpassed the 23.6% Fib retracement level of the downward move from the $3.330 swing high to the $2.999 low. The price is now trading below $3.150 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There is also a bearish trend line forming with resistance at $3.150 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.150 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.1650 level. A clear move above the $3.1650 resistance might send the price toward the $3.20 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.250 resistance or even $3.30 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.350 zone. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $3.1650 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.080 level. The next major support is near the $3.00 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.00 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $2.920 support. The next major support sits near the $2.850 zone where the bulls might take a stand. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone. Hourly RSI (Relative Strength Index) – The RSI for XRP/USD is now above the 50 level. Major Support Levels – $3.080 and $3.00. Major Resistance Levels – $3.1650 and $3.20.
A new wave of buzz has hit the XRP community after an expert shared a teasing message on Twitter. Related Reading: XRP Traders Pull Back $2.4B—Brace For Impact Or Buy The Dip? Crypto analyst Armando Pantoja, a member of the Benzinga Crypto Advisory Board, said he just got off a call with contacts in Washington, D.C. and hinted that XRP is “about to explode.” He couldn’t give details, but he left a clear sign that something big might be on the way. His words “Big Move Incoming” and the tip that holders of at least 1,000 XRP are already ahead of the curve have pushed traders to watch the token more closely. How 1,000 XRP Stands Out According to data from the XRP Rich List, there are about 6.8 million XRP wallets in existence. Close to 6 million of those are retail wallets holding fewer than 1,000 XRP. Only 10% of wallets hold more than 2,438 XRP. Those numbers suggest that owning at least 1,000 coins puts you well above the average holder. Based on analysis, even 3,300 XRP—worth around $9,000 at today’s prices—could place an investor among the top tier of XRP owners. Just got off a call with my insiders in DC… I can’t say much, but $XRP is about to explode. I don’t know exactly when, but soon. If you’ve got 1,000 XRP, you’re already ahead of the curve. This could be the move that changes everything. — Armando Pantoja (@_TallGuyTycoon) July 29, 2025 Insider Teases Big Move According to Pantoja’s tweet, the timing of the coming news might be tight. He didn’t spell out when his contacts expect the “explode” moment. At the time of writing, XRP was trading at about $3.14. That makes a 1,000‑token stack cost near $3,000. If Pantoja’s hint proves accurate, early buyers could see strong gains. But the lack of specifics means it’s hard to know whether he’s talking about new rules from US regulators, an institutional deal, or just fueling excitement. Varied Expert Price Targets Some believe XRP could rally more than 300x to exceed $1,000 per token. And some analysts even suggested that price could hit that level as early as next year. For instance, analyst Jake Claver of Digital Ascension Group estimated that 6,000 XRP would generate $300,000 in annual income at a $1,000 price, enough for a comfortable US lifestyle in many areas. If you own any XRP, I believe you’re already ahead of a whole lot of people. The key is defining what “rich” means to you. Here’s a clip from my last stream with @digitaloutlook3 For some, it’s freedom from a 9–5. For others, it’s funding a dream lifestyle with passive income.… pic.twitter.com/zBzWJcKi76 — Jake Claver, QFOP (@beyond_broke) July 22, 2025 On the other hand, other market observers have urged investors to aim for 40,000 or 50k XRP—currently worth over $150,000—while planning for more moderate price goals. Those forecasts differ widely, reflecting both hope and caution in the community. What’s Next For XRP? In the end, Pantoja’s tip and the on‑chain figures give retail holders reason to pay attention. But without clear details from his D.C. contacts, it’s hard to say if this is a signal to buy more or simply another wave of hype.

The XRP price is gaining traction once again as bullish signals strengthen across the charts. Following a decisive move above a critical support level, the cryptocurrency is now positioned for a potential upward move. A new technical analysis suggests that XRP could climb over 44%, targeting $4.804 in the near term—but only if the support level remains intact. XRP Price To Pump 44% If Support Holds Despite experiencing a pullback these past few days, the XRP price continues to show strong bullish momentum as it aims for new highs. In a recent analysis on X social media, crypto market expert Javon Marks forecasted that XRP may be on the brink of a significant price breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming According to his price chart, the cryptocurrency is trading significantly above $2.47, a level that has been confirmed as a key support zone. Marks’ chart shows that this support level was previously a resistance and now serves as a foundation for the next potential leg higher. The expert’s analysis indicates that as long as XRP continues to hold above the support level, the next upward target remains firmly set at $4.804. This level represents a 44% price increase from its current price of $3.12. Notably, the technical setup presented by the analyst includes a consistent trend of higher lows, reinforcing the potential for a larger breakout to unfold. Mark’s chart also outlines an extended target beyond $4.804. If XRP manages to reach and break above this initial level, the analyst projects a potential surge toward $7.138, reflecting an impressive 128.7% increase from current prices. Notably, a possible move above $4 would already mark a new all-time high for the third-largest cryptocurrency—but breaking past $7 would represent a historic rally, indicating a strong continuation of the current bullish sequence. XRP Teeters At $3 After Rejection From Resistance XRP is currently at a critical turning point as price action rejected sharply from the $3.66 resistance level, sliding nearly 11% to test the $3.00 support zone. Based on a technical analysis by crypto expert Gael Gallot, this rejection follows a breakout attempt from a long-form symmetrical triangle stretching back to February. Related Reading: XRP Price Showing Quiet Strength As Next Breakout Level Lies At $4.65 XRP’s daily chart shows its price forming a large ascending triangle pattern, though the recent rejection at the top of the trendline hints at an incoming upward move. Notably, Gallot predicts that a confirmed breakout and retest above $3.3 could ignite the next leg up, with XRP possibly revisiting the $3.66 zone and beyond. The analyst calls this phase a “Pullback or Setup,” highlighting a mix of signals, including a sharp 44% decline in active XRP wallets as whales accumulate over 280 million tokens even as Ripple co-founder Chris Larsen reportedly moved 50 million XRP. Short-term sentiment also appears mixed, with US traders staying cautious while Asian markets show signs of steady accumulation. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com
After a relatively quiet week for altcoins, XRP, Dogecoin, and Shiba Inu received a fresh wave of attention thanks to a major update from Gemini. The US-based crypto exchange announced that it is now officially allowing these three tokens, as well as Bitcoin Cash and Solana, as cross-collateral assets for its derivatives platform. Major Boost For XRP, Dogecoin, And Shiba Inu Gemini’s decision allows XRP, DOGE, and SHIB holders to use their tokens as collateral for GUSD-settled perpetual contracts, a feature that was previously limited to BTC, ETH, USDT, and Gemini stablecoin GUSD. All five newly supported tokens come with varying collateral “haircuts,” meaning only a portion of their value is counted toward margin requirements. XRP and Solana each have a 15% haircut, while Dogecoin and Shiba Inu face a more severe 30% haircut due to their higher volatility profiles. Related Reading: XRP Price Set To Teleport As Major Financial Players Tap In — Opportunity Window Closing Fast Gemini has made it easier for users to trade derivatives using a broader range of holdings by bringing these newer assets into the fold. This move not only deepens the utility of these cryptocurrencies but also opens up new use cases for traders who want to leverage their holdings in perpetual contracts without converting to stablecoins. It’s a particularly meaningful step for XRP, which has been working to strengthen its institutional appeal and global payments utility. The move is also beneficial for meme coins Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, which are seeing increasing demand outside of the meme coin niche. This expansion also shows a larger trend in crypto derivatives. Many crypto exchanges, especially those in the US, are increasingly opening their doors to altcoins. It is also a drastic turnaround from the state of the crypto market some years back. For nearly three years, XRP was delisted or unavailable on most US-based trading platforms due to the legal battle between Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission. It wasn’t until July 2023, following Judge Analisa Torres’s partial ruling that XRP was not a security when sold on exchanges, that the token began to make its return to major US platforms, including Gemini. Price Action Trending Downwards At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.13, a 1.4% decline from the previous day but still holding within its recent range between $3.06 and $3.18. Dogecoin is trading at $0.2226, with modest intraday movement after failing to sustain its push above $0.23. The king of meme coins is down by 3.2% and 14.2% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Breaks Above $0.26 In Weekend Rally As Pundit Predicts 2,600% Surge Shiba Inu, meanwhile, is trading at $0.000013, also down by about 4% in the past 24 hours and over 13% in the past seven days. Nonetheless, many analysts still maintain a bullish long-term outlook for these cryptocurrencies. Forecast models project that Dogecoin could climb to $1 in the current bull cycle, while SHIB is expected to reach at least $0.000045. XRP’s trajectory is even more ambitious among many crypto analysts, with price targets ranging from $9 to $10 if adoption momentum continues and pending US Spot ETF applications finally receive approval from the SEC.

XRP is holding strong above the key $3 level, keeping its bullish breakout intact. With Wave 4 consolidation underway, a push into Wave 5 could propel the price toward $6 and beyond. Wave Structure Confirmed: XRP Completes Wave 3, Wave 4 Consolidation Underway In an X post, Dark Defender recalled an earlier post shared on July 6, where he outlined a weekly wave structure for XRP with an initial target of $3.61. Building on that analysis, he has now presented the daily chart of the same wave structure, offering a closer look at XRP’s ongoing price action within the broader Elliott Wave framework. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns XRP Investors Amid Market Retrace According to Dark Defender, XRP has already completed Wave 1, Wave 2, and Wave 3 of the current cycle. The price is now in Wave 4, which appears to be a period of consolidation. This consolidation phase is also reflected in the Relative Strength Index (RSI), which signals that the market is taking a breather before the next potential leg higher. Looking ahead, Dark Defender projects the Wave 5 target to be approximately $5.8563, noting that this is not financial advice (NFA). He maintains his initial target of $3.61 while adding $5.85 as a potential high for this next impulsive move. These targets are based on the continuation of the current wave structure, assuming support levels hold. Key support for XRP is identified around $3.07. As long as XRP maintains this support and progresses through Wave 4, the bullish wave setup remains valid, with eyes firmly on a breakout toward the $5.85 mark. The Altcoin Eyes First Ever Monthly Close Above $3 Sonia S., in her latest post on X, pointed out that XRP is poised to achieve a historic milestone by closing the month above $3 for the first time ever. This potential monthly close marks a major bullish development and could signal the start of a new phase in XRP’s long-term price movement. Related Reading: XRP Won’t See Devastating Pullback Because ‘The Train Has Left The Station’ She identified a crucial breakout zone between $1.97 and $3.01, which XRP has successfully cleared. With this breakout confirmed, Sonia highlighted the next key psychological targets at $4.50 and $6.00+ levels that could attract significant attention from both traders and investors. As long as XRP maintains its position above $3 on the monthly chart, Sonia noted that price discovery becomes possible, given the lack of historical resistance beyond this level. However, Sonia also warned that if XRP fails to hold above $3 and closes back below this level, the breakout would be invalidated. Such a move could indicate a false breakout and potentially lead to a pullback, making the $3 level a crucial line for the bulls. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
SOL still leads XRP in terms of futures open interest on Kraken and other exchanges.
According to recent reports, XRP slid about 15% after peaking at $3.66 on July 18, wiping out roughly $2.4 billion in open futures positions. That sharp drop has traders debating whether to hunker down or scoop up XRP near the $2.60 mark. Rally Driven By Big Bets XRP’s surge from $2.17 on July 1 to $3.66 by July 18 was powered by a surge in open interest that peaked at $11.2 billion in dollar terms. That means a lot of traders had large positions riding the upswing. Related Reading: Countdown To August 15: What XRP Investors Need To Know Since then, open interest has fallen to $8.8 billion, a 20% drop in US dollar value. In XRP units, contracts fell 10% to 2.80 billion. Liquidations of roughly $325 million over the two weeks ending July 25 show some of those big bets were wiped out. Futures Traders Hold Steady Annualized futures premiums for monthly XRP contracts have stayed in a 6% to 8% range. That suggests traders aren’t panicking even after the price dipped below $3. Short‑term swings didn’t spark a rush into bullish bets when XRP briefly rose past $3.60, slowing the risk of more forced exits. The calm premium levels hint that professional players remain cautious but not overly concerned. Growing chatter about a US spot ETF for XRP has added to the mix. Ether products crossed $18 billion in assets under management, so some expect a similar boost if a spot‑XRP ETF wins approval. But approvals can take many months, and nothing is certain. Rumors about banks or a tie‑up with SWIFT have popped up online without proof. Traders know that hype only lasts so long when there’s no real deal. On‑Ledger Activity Trails Peers DeFi use on the XRP Ledger is still small. According to RWA.xyz data, just $134 million of tokenized assets sit on the network, compared with $190 million on Avalanche. Decentralized exchange volume barely makes the top 50 chains. DefiLlama shows Sui recorded $13 billion in 30‑day DEX trading, and Sei handled $1.43 billion. Those gaps show that XRP’s on‑chain tools haven’t drawn the same crowd as rival networks. Related Reading: Bitcoin Ain’t ‘Better’, ADA Is, Cardano Founder Says Looking ahead, clear growth in real‑world use could help XRP break out of its current $3.00–$3.15 range. For now, traders are watching both price action and on‑chain metrics. It may take fresh catalysts beyond ETF hopes to drive sustained gains. Until then, the market could stay choppy and reactive to any big swings in open interest. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
XRP price started a downside correction below the $3.20 zone. The price is now attempting a recovery and might aim for a move above the $3.180 level. XRP price started a fresh pullback below the $3.20 zone. The price is now trading below $3.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. There was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $3.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair (data source from Kraken). The pair could start another increase if it stays above the $3.080 zone. XRP Price Eyes Fresh Increase XRP price started a fresh decline below the $3.30 zone, unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum. The price declined below the $3.250 and $3.220 support levels. The price dipped below the 50% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.004 swing low to the $3.330 high. The bears even pushed the price below the $3.120 support zone. Finally, the bulls appeared near the $3.080 level. The price found support near the 76.4% Fib retracement level of the upward move from the $3.004 swing low to the $3.330 high. Recently, there was a break above a bearish trend line with resistance at $3.120 on the hourly chart of the XRP/USD pair. The price is now trading below $3.20 and the 100-hourly Simple Moving Average. On the upside, the price might face resistance near the $3.170 level. The first major resistance is near the $3.20 level. A clear move above the $3.20 resistance might send the price toward the $3.250 resistance. Any more gains might send the price toward the $3.330 resistance or even $3.350 in the near term. The next major hurdle for the bulls might be near the $3.40 zone. Another Drop? If XRP fails to clear the $3.20 resistance zone, it could start another decline. Initial support on the downside is near the $3.080 level. The next major support is near the $3.020 level. If there is a downside break and a close below the $3.020 level, the price might continue to decline toward the $3.00 support. The next major support sits near the $2.980 zone where the bulls might take a stand. Technical Indicators Hourly MACD – The MACD for XRP/USD is now losing pace in the bearish zone.

On-chain data shows old XRP tokens have been moving back into circulation recently, a potential sign that long-term holders have been taking profits. XRP Mean Dollar Invested Age Has Seen A Drop Recently According to data from the on-chain analytics firm Santiment, the XRP network has seen signs of movement from veteran hands. Two key metrics highlight this trend: Mean Dollar Invested Age and Age Consumed. The first of these, the Mean Dollar Invested Age, keeps track of the average age (in days) of every dollar invested into the cryptocurrency. The ‘age’ of a coin or the USD value invested in it is tracked from the point of the coin’s last transaction. Related Reading: Ethereum Exchange Reserve Plummets: Over 1 Million ETH Withdrawn For example, if a coin remains dormant for 10 days, it accumulates 10 coin days. If the price at the time of its last movement was $2, then it’s carrying 20 coin-dollar days. The Mean Dollar Invested Age per dollar in this case is, therefore, 10 coin-dollar days. Now, what happens when a coin that has been dormant for some period is finally moved? Both the coin days and coin-dollar days associated to it reset back to zero. In other words, its age is ‘consumed.’ The second indicator of relevance here, the Age Consumed, keeps track of the coin days being destroyed in this manner across the network every day. Below is a chart that shows how the Mean Dollar Invested Age and Age Consumed have changed for XRP over the past year. As is visible in the graph, the XRP Mean Dollar Invested Age has witnessed a decline during the last few weeks, indicating that the average dollar invested into the asset is becoming younger. The indicator’s value has now come down to 593 days, which is 91 days lower compared to one month ago. The Age Consumed has seen some notable spikes alongside this decline, which means that long-term holders have been making moves. The long-term holders refer to the HODLers of the market, who hold for long periods with strong conviction and, in the process, amass a large number of coin days. When these diamond hands finally make moves, the Age Consumed tends to register spikes as large-scale coin days destruction accompanies them. From the chart, it’s apparent that most of the recent large spikes came just as XRP hit its price top. This could be a potential sign that the long-term holders were cashing in on the rally. Related Reading: Bitcoin Remains Flat—And The SSR Ratio Might Explain Why Since then, the cryptocurrency has plunged. It now remains to be seen whether the Age Consumed would continue to spike in the near future or if the HODLers are done for now. XRP Price At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.15, down more than 10% in the last week. Featured image from Dall-E, Santiment.net, chart from TradingView.com
BTC's Bollinger bands are now at their tightest since February.
According to market analyst Common Sense Crypto, a $1,000 bet on XRP today could turn into between $10,000 and $50,000 during this cycle. Related Reading: $120K Bitcoin In Sight: 90-Day US–China Tariff Truce Fuels Market Optimism He pointed out that the same stake in Bitcoin would likely top out at around $1,300–$1,500. That claim has caught the eye of many investors who are weighing where to put their crypto dollars. Strong ROI Comparison Common Sense Crypto ran the numbers. At XRP’s current price of $3.18, a $1,000 buy-in nets roughly 315 tokens. To hit $10k, each XRP would need to trade at $31.80. If XRP somehow climbed to $160, that small stake would swell to $50k. By contrast, a $1k purchase of Bitcoin at $120,000 today would only need BTC to rise to about $154k–$178k to yield the same $1,300–$1,500 returns. Here’s a quick fact to ponder, if you put $1,000 into $xrp today you will most likely end up with at least $10,000 – $50,000 in this cycle, if you put the same $1,000 into $btc you will most like only end up with $1300 – $1500. ROI (return on investment) is more important than… — Common Sense Crypto (@TheCSCrypto) July 12, 2025 Those are gains in the 30–50% range. This puts XRP’s upside in a very different league when viewed purely as percentages. Still, size matters. XRP’s market cap sits near $188 billion. Bitcoin’s floats around $2.37 trillion. To push XRP to $159, its valuation would need to balloon to roughly $9.5 trillion—nearly four times Bitcoin’s current size. That would require massive new inflows and adoption on a scale we’ve never seen in crypto. XRP Tops $3; CEO Sets Sights On 14% Of SWIFT Ripple’s XRP finally breached the long-awaited $3 mark after US President Donald Trump announced a new US strategic crypto reserve, including XRP and other digital assets. As one of the most traded cryptocurrencies, XRP enjoys high daily trading volumes, ensuring price stability and ease of entry for institutional investors. Ripple’s chief executive, Brad Garlinghouse, predicts that within five years, Ripple will handle about 14% of SWIFT’s worldwide cross‑border transaction flows. Related Reading: Countdown To August 15: What XRP Investors Need To Know Past Cycle Performance Other voices have made similar points. In June, Edoardo Farina of Alpha Lions Academy noted that between November 2024 and January 2025, XRP jumped from $0.50 to $3.40. That’s a 7x return in just two months. Bitcoin, in that same window, climbed from $68k to $112k, a 60% gain. Farina calculated that $50k in XRP would have grown to $340k while the same investment in Bitcoin would have become about $82,352. The XRP 50x Challenge XRP’s promise of turning $1,000 into as much as $50,000 is eye‑catching. Its past leap from $0.50 to $3.40 in just two months shows what’s possible. But growing its market cap from $188 billion to $9.5 trillion means a tidal wave of new money and clear legal rules. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView

Based on community chatter, August 15, 2025 might bring a crucial turn for Ripple and its XRP Ledger. July’s rally saw XRP jump over 20%, and now investors are bracing for moves tied to a court deadline, a major summit and the rollout of a new stablecoin. All eyes are on mid‑August as the market waits to see if talk turns into action. Related Reading: Memecoins, NFTs Get Called Out By Their Own Architect: ‘Zero Intrinsic Value’ Legal Appeal Deadline According to court filings, Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission must submit a joint status update by August 15 about their appeal of Judge Torres’s 2023 ruling on XRP’s programmatic sales. That decision, which said XRP is not a security in those sales, came after years of back‑and‑forth. The 54th anniversary of the US ending the gold standard also falls on the same date. Some in the XRP community say the timing could speed up a final settlement if both sides choose to drop appeals instead of pushing on. ???? Why August 15, 2025 Could Be a Turning Point for Ripple, XRP, and the Future of Finance From the SEC lawsuit to global monetary resets, too many timelines converge on this one date. Let’s break down what might be coming… and what Ripple could be preparing for ???? pic.twitter.com/Vyhmw1v7c8 — RippleXity (@RippleXity) July 27, 2025 Global Summit Dates Based on reports, the so‑called BRICS Road Rally is set for August 9–15, 2025 in Kazan, Russia. The summit agenda is said to include talks on a shared digital currency and new payment rails. With five major emerging economies pushing hard to reduce their reliance on the dollar, some see a link between those discussions and Ripple’s tech. Ripple already works with central banks on tokenized asset projects, and XRPL could slot into a future BRICS payment system as a bridge currency. Ripple’s own timeline is packed. By mid‑August, the company hopes to secure a national trust charter, giving it the same kind of banking access that big banks enjoy. 2/ ⚖️ The SEC Lawsuit, A Deliberate Delay?

That would be a big step toward making XRP and its ledger a core part of how money moves across borders. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
The XRP price broke out of an almost seven-year downtrend in 2024 and is now trading above $3, sparking renewed optimism across the market. With its steadily growing price, crypto analyst JackTheRippler claims that XRP is unlikely to face any major pullback like in the past, believing that the altcoin has entered a new bullish phase—and the “train has left the station.” XRP Unlikely To Revisit Previous Lows In a bold assertion that challenges typical post-rally pullback expectations, JackTheRippler has doubled down on his earlier outlook for XRP, claiming that a dramatic price retracement is no longer on the table. According to a price chart shared via X social media alongside his analysis, XRP has successfully broken out of a multi-month descending triangle pattern and surged beyond key resistance levels, skyrocketing above $3.6 before consolidating around $3.19. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Warns XRP Investors Amid Market Retrace The chart reveals that XRP maintained strong horizontal support near the $1.77 region for several months, forming the base of the triangle. Despite multiple attempts to breach this level during its consolidation phase, the token held firm. The recent breakout in late July above $3.6 marked a significant shift in XRP’s structure, invalidating the downward trendline that had capped price action since December 2024. In his post, JackTheRippler emphasized that, unlike in previous cycles, XRP is unlikely to return to earlier lows. The analyst declared that “the train has left the station,” implying that the window to buy at significantly lower levels has decisively closed due to a price floor increase. With XRP now trading above $3.3, the main question is whether this level will establish itself as firm support and potentially propel it to new levels. Based on the cryptocurrency’s current technical setup and JackTheRipple’s confident projection, the path forward for XRP suggests continued upward momentum rather than a reversal. Analyst Unveils XRP Next Bullish Targets A recent chart analysis shared by crypto analyst Dark Defender suggests that XRP’s long-standing cooling period may be finally coming to an end. According to the pattern highlighted on the chart, the cryptocurrency appears to be mirroring its 2017 setup—a formation that led to an explosive breakout. Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Double Top, This Structure Says A Crash Is Coming With XRP now consolidating above $3.3, Dark Defender argues that this phase resembles a stabilization period that preceded the previous bull run, marked by a breakout from a descending wedge and rapid vertical gains. Based on the Elliott Wave Theory, the analyst has set XRP’s next bullish targets for $13.13, $18.22, and $36.76. According to Dark Defender, the cryptocurrency’s price surge observed in June and July confirms its breakout structure, positioning August as a potentially explosive month for the asset. Chart comparisons between the 2017 and 2025 cycles highlight striking similarities, each featuring a sharp rally, a descending consolidation, and a breakout that historically led to parabolic gains.

XRP’s technical setup is playing out another major move, and this time the bullish momentum is being backed by the reappearance of one of its most powerful historical indicators. According to a new analysis posted by Egrag Crypto on the social media platform X, XRP’s 21 EMA and 55 SMA weekly crossover has been playing out quite nicely, with XRP recently hitting $3.65 on July 18 before cooling off. Now, this analysis projects that the pattern may still be in its early stages. Based on historical outcomes, XRP might be on track to reach as high as $9 or even $24. Related Reading: Wall Street’s Bold Bet: Bitcoin Could Hit $200K By December, Banking Giant Says Bull Crosses Cause Massive Rallies For XRP EGRAG’s chart, which displays XRP’s weekly price action with the 21 EMA and 55 SMA trendlines, shows that each time a bullish crossover occurred between the two trendlines, it marked the beginning of a strong price rally. The first instance of such a cross was in March 2017, and by the end of that cycle, XRP’s price had reached a peak that represented a 40,000% surge from its low. Then in August 2020, a similar crossover produced a 750% pump before topping out. The most recent bullish crossover occurred in October 2024 and has so far resulted in a 560% rise from XRP’s bottom in September 2024. However, there was a similar temporary pump in April 2023 that Egrag excluded from his model. Based on different assumptions about the previous price playout between the two cycles, the analyst outlined two possible targets for the current cycle. The first projection is a 1,500% rally, double that of 2020’s run, which would place the price peak for this cycle at $9. The second projection is a 4,000% rally, which represents just 10% of the massive 2017 spike. This second, more bullish projection places XRP’s price peak anywhere at $24. Chart Image From X: Egrag Crypto XRP Drops To Retest $3 After New ATH At $3.65 After reaching a new cycle high of $3.65 on July 18, XRP failed to hold above the $3.21 resistance zone and corrected down to test the $3.00 support level on July 24. The price volatility, although strong, wasn’t enough to break this support level. Crypto analyst CasiTrades also weighed in on the current technical setup by pointing to an Elliott Wave count that suggests a major third wave is about to begin. In her analysis posted on X, she confirmed that XRP has completed a subwave 2 correction, reaching the deep 0.854 Fibonacci retracement level before bouncing. What’s important here is that the price held above $3, never forming a new low, which is probably now a new price floor. Chart Image From X: CasiTrades Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst If buying volume increases and XRP regains its hold above $3.21, the next move is to target $3.82, which coincides with the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Interestingly, the analyst noted that $3.82 also aligns with what many platforms historically recorded as XRP’s new all-time high. Should XRP close a weekly candle above $3.82, it could lead to prices that align with Egrag’s projections. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.17.

Ripple’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Brad Garlinghouse, has issued a serious warning to XRP investors amid a surge in scam activity targeting investors across social media platforms like YouTube. The alert follows increasing reports of fraudulent accounts impersonating Ripple and its executives, with the aim of tricking users into sending their XRP. Ripple Warns Investors Of Rising XRP Scams On July 23, Garlinghouse took to X social media to raise the alarm on a sharp rise in XRP scams, urging investors and community members to stay alert. According to the Ripple CEO, scammers are capitalizing on market momentum and community excitement to ramp up impersonation schemes, particularly targeting unsuspecting XRP holders. Related Reading: How Ripple Is Taking On SWIFT To Grab 14% Market Share As XRP Price Surges One of the most notable developments flagged by Garlinghouse is a recent surge in fraudulent activity on YouTube, where scammers have taken over existing channels, rebranded them to resemble recognized Ripple accounts, and begun promoting misleading content that impersonates the crypto company and its executives. In its official X account, the Ripple team stressed that these YouTube accounts are legitimate and do not belong to the crypto firm, despite appearing convincing. In many cases, the usernames have been altered to mimic the company’s official handles, often making it difficult for unsuspecting users to identify the deception. These scam videos frequently promise giveaways, rewards, or investment multipliers, usually asking users and investors to send XRP in exchange for a larger return. Garlinghouse has emphasized that neither he nor Ripple will ever request XRP from anyone under any circumstances. To combat the growing threat of skyrocketing crypto scams, Ripple is actively and aggressively reporting these fraudulent accounts and encouraging its community to do the same. The company has reiterated that its official channels remain the only trusted sources of communication and provides a direct reminder to always verify account handles and links before engaging. Notably, Garlinghouse concluded his post with an important reminder to stay vigilant against avoidable losses. He warned that “if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Ripple Alert Highlights Broader Threat Amid Market Recovery Beyond the immediate focus on the YouTube impersonation scams, Garlinghouse’s report touches on a broader trend of escalating crypto fraud that tends to spike during periods of market recovery or growing optimism. This pattern, described by the Ripple CEO as “like clockwork,” suggests that malicious actors closely monitor community sentiment and time their campaigns to exploit emotional and financial excitement.

In a broader context, the rise in XRP scams has coincided with the recent surge in the altcoin’s price to above $3.6. Additionally, they come after bullish news like Ripple’s growing regulatory clarity and legal win against the US SEC. As the XRP price inches closer to ATH levels and gains more momentum, bad actors are leveraging this wave of optimism to cast a wider net, targeting investors through sophisticated scams and fraudulent schemes.

Renowned market expert with X username CasiTrades has shared an interestingly bullish insight on the XRP market. Notably, this price forecast comes following a broader crypto market correction in the past week, during which XRP has registered a 6.74% price decline. XRP Bulls Eye Return To ATH After $3 Retest In an X post on July 25, CasiTrades shows that XRP is on the brink of a major price surge based on the indications of the Elliot Wave Theory – a technical framework that proposes that price movements occur in five repetitive waves. Amidst the price decline in the last week, XRP failed to hold above the critical $3.21 price level, forcing a retrace to retest the major $3.00 support zone, resulting in a slight price bounce. Despite this bearish event, the analyst notes encouragingly that the altcoin did not form a new price low, suggesting the larger bullish structure remains intact. Related Reading: XRP To $10? Basketball Legend’s Poll Puts Crypto On Center Court CasiTrades explains that XRP’s latest retracement reached a deep 0.854 Fibonacci level, a classic reversal zone for second waves in a bullish five-wave structure. This deep pullback, combined with the strong bounce off $3.00, signifies the potential bottom of Wave 2. If bulls can hold the price above this support, this sets the stage for the beginning of Wave 3, the strongest and most explosive leg in the Elliott Wave Theory. For context, the Elliot wave theory begins with an initial price rise, i.e, Wave 1, followed by Wave 2, a pullback that doesn’t breach the starting point. Wave 3 is usually the strongest and longest, driven by increased participation and bullish momentum. Meanwhile, Wave 4 brings another correction, often less severe than Wave 2, before Wave 5 pushes prices to a final high. For Wave 3 to commence in the present market, CasiTrades states the next price target lies at the $3.21 region, which represents a crucial resistance. If XRP produces a sustained breakout above this price barrier, it validates the proposed bullish scenario. In this case, the analyst identifies an immediate price target of $3.82, which aligns with the 2.618 Fibonacci extension of the prior move. Interestingly, this price zone also represents XRP’s all-time high on certain markets. This confluence strengthens confidence in the bullish scenario, especially considering that if the Elliott Wave structure plays out fully, a Wave 5 rally could propel the altcoin into uncharted price territory.

Crypto analyst Steph has issued a warning to XRP investors regarding the current price action. He alluded to a multi-year resistance that the altcoin has struggled to break, noting that this should be the major focus as it eyes new highs. XRP Needs to Break Above the $3.6 Resistance In an X post, Steph shared a video in which he analysed the XRP monthly chart, dating back to the 2020 bull run. He highlighted an upward-sloping trendline for the altcoin, which showed that the altcoin has faced rejection at around the $3.6 level twice now. The first was in January of this year, when the altcoin surged to a yearly high. Related Reading: Expect A “Biblical Move” Off This Formation; Analyst Tells XRP Investors Meanwhile, the second has occurred again following the XRP’s latest rally to a new all-time high (ATH) around this $3.6 resistance. Steph declared that the altcoin needs to break above this multi-year trendline resistance, as it risks falling into “an ugly period of downward momentum” if it can’t flip this level into support. However, if XRP breaks above this resistance, Steph predicts that it could record a parabolic rally, which would send its price into double digits. The crypto analyst is more confident that the altcoin will break this resistance, noting that other bullish patterns support sustained bullish momentum. In the short term, Steph predicts that XRP could rally to as high as $4.42. He highlighted a double bottom breakout on the 4-day chart, which is still in play for the altcoin. He assured that XRP could still maintain this upward momentum despite the current pullback in the broader crypto market. However, if this bearish trend in the crypto market sustains for a while, he warned that the $3 support level is the one that XRP needs to stay above to avoid losing its bullish structure. The analyst expects a lot of buying pressure if the altcoin were to drop to this support level. What Next As The Altcoin Retests $3 In an X post, crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that XRP was unable to hold the $3.21 resistance and has now fallen back to test the $3 support. She stated that the altcoin appears to have completed a subwave wave 2 of a new trend, reaching a deep .854 retrace. If this new low holds as support, then she suggested that it could kickstart a large impulse to the upside. Related Reading: XRP Is About To Break 8-Year Resistance Against Bitcoin Ahead Of Spot ETF Approval CasiTrades predicts that XRP could reach new highs if volume begins to rise and the price starts moving back above the $3.21 resistance. She noted that the first wave 3 sits near $3.82, which is the 2.618 Fibonacci extension. Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could reach $3.8 on this next run-up. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.16, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com
Scottie Pippen, the six‑time NBA champion, stirred up the crypto community this week. He put out a poll on X asking his 728,000 followers whether XRP will hit $10 by 2026. Alongside that question, he also threw out bold targets for Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana. The move sent traders and fans buzzing. Related Reading: The US Is A Bitcoin Whale—Arkham Clarifies BTC Holdings After Brief Panic Pippen’s Viral Crypto Poll According to his post, Bitcoin could climb to $233,000, Ethereum to $10,000 and Solana to $1,000. Pippen gave people four choices for each token and let them vote. Travis Turnbull and others in the comments threw their support behind XRP reaching $10, while some thought even 2026 might be too soon. Polls like this tend to draw big crowds, and Pippen’s name carries weight well beyond sports. Which one of these will happen in 2026: • Bitcoin will hit 233k • $ETH will hit $10k • $SOL will hit $1k • $XRP will hit $10 • Your UBER driver will tell you about the @game5ball • Optimus will deliver you food • Aliens will invade • 2pac returns — Scottie Pippen (@ScottiePippen) July 24, 2025 XRP is trading around $3.18 right now. That price is down 2.2% in the past day, though it’s still up 45% for the month. At that level, the token’s market cap sits near $156 billion. To hit $10, XRP would need to swell to about $500 billion based on its roughly 50 billion coins in circulation. That jump would rank it among the world’s biggest assets. Bullish Forecasts From Other Analysts Based on reports, an NFT project founder predicted XRP could top $10 by next year if Bitcoin rockets toward $250,000. A well‑known crypto analyst updated his earlier $4–$5 call to $10 after a surge in bullish momentum. Aaron Arnold, host of Altcoin Daily, went even further with an $11 target by 2025. He called that figure “realistic,” pointing to growing demand and fresh capital flows. Realistic 2025 #altcoin price predictions:$ADA – $4$XRP – $11$INJ – $99$BORG – $3.50$PENGU – $0.10$PUMP – $0.01$SOL – $400 What else? ???? — Altcoin Daily (@AltcoinDaily) July 25, 2025 If XRP ever hit $11, its market cap would soar past $650 billion. That would put it ahead of big names like Mastercard and Tencent on the value charts. Such a move would reshape how people see cross‑border payments and tokenized banking rails. Related Reading: Crypto’s Golden Rule Just Got Broken, According To Analyst What It Takes To Hit $10 Reaching $10 won’t happen on hype alone. XRP still faces legal hurdles in the US. Banks need clear rules before they can embrace it at scale. On‑chain activity must keep rising, and fresh partnerships with payment firms or tech players are a must. At the same time, rival tokens and layer‑2 solutions compete for investor money. Timing is key, too. Crypto often moves in waves, and a bull run can last months or years—but corrections can come fast. Featured image from NBA, chart from TradingView
