The XRP price remains a major focus in the crypto market, with analysts and traders often debating its long-term trajectory. A fresh report from crypto exchange Changelly has provided a new perspective, offering detailed projections for XRP’s future performance. The report reveals when the cryptocurrency could finally surpass the $2,000 milestone, alongside expectations for short- and long-term price action. XRP Price Forecasted To Surpass $2,200 By 2040 According to Changelly’s latest price analysis released on September 2, XRP is projected to surpass $2,000 in November 2040. Analysts at the exchange forecast that XRP could hit a maximum price of $2,215 in December 2040, marking a period of sustained explosive growth. In the same year, the minimum price is estimated at $1,825, while the average trading level is anticipated to reach approximately $1,969. Related Reading: Pundit Reveals What Will Happen When XRP Price Hits $100 And $1,000 What makes this bullish forecast even more striking is that in the years leading up to 2040, XRP is expected to remain below $130. This suggests that the token could undergo an unprecedented growth spurt by the time it reaches $2,000, potentially surging between 1,430% and 73,979% from its projected 2026-2034 range. If a rally above $2,000 is realized, 2040 would be a transformative year for XRP, as it would mark the first time the token enters the quadruple-digit territory. Looking further ahead, Changelly projects that by 2050, XRP could climb even higher, reaching a maximum value of $2,840 by December. Analysts at the exchange expect the token’s average price in that year to stabilize around $2,604, while the minimum price could be approximately $2,485. While these projections suggest that volatility will remain a part of XRP’s performance, it’s overall growth prospects point toward a significantly higher valuation. Changelly’s XRP Price Forecast For 2025 While Changelly’s long-term price forecast highlights XRP’s explosive potential, its technical analysis for 2025 paints a more cautious picture. The exchange predicts that in 2025, XRP could decline to a minimum value of $2.49 and a maximum of $2.82, with an average trading price of $3.14. Currently, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.83, meaning its growth for this year is expected to be limited. Related Reading: It Is ‘Genuinely Impossible’ For XRP To Hit $1,000; Pundit Warns Changelly notes that XRP’s recent market performance has been relatively muted. It has declined by 3.65% over the past week after erasing about $0.05 from its value within the last month. This downturn has placed the cryptocurrency in a dip, with analysts interpreting it as a short-term buying opportunity. Technical indicators like the Moving Averages (MA) reinforce XRP’s bearish price action. Changelly notes that the 50-day MA is trending downward on the four-hour chart, pointing to weakening short-term momentum. The 200-day MA, which began declining in late August 2025, also signals ongoing pressure in XRP’s longer-term trend. The crypto exchange also highlights that XRP’s market sentiment is 60% bearish, with a Fear & Greed Index score of 49, signaling neutrality but edging toward fear.

Bitcoin is once again at the center of market turbulence, trading just above the $110,000 level, which many analysts view as a critical zone of demand. While BTC is holding this support for now, volatility has surged as bears increase pressure and investor sentiment grows cautious. The market is closely watching whether Bitcoin can maintain its footing or if a deeper correction will unfold. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Spikes As Whales Add 260K ETH In 24 Hours One of the biggest factors fueling this uncertainty is the recent capital rotation from Bitcoin to Ethereum, a shift that has rattled Bitcoin loyalists. Ethereum’s resilience and whale accumulation have put BTC under additional scrutiny, raising fears that Bitcoin’s dominance in the market could weaken if the trend continues. Adding to the caution, top analyst Axel Adler highlighted fresh data showing a surge in BTC+ETH inflows to exchanges following Bitcoin’s all-time high of $124,000. At the same time, stablecoin inflows lagged significantly, signaling that the recent increase in supply on exchanges was not met with fresh liquidity. This imbalance often points to profit-taking and excess selling pressure. Bitcoin Inflow Ratio Signals Bearish Setup According to Adler, the recent weakness in Bitcoin is strongly linked to exchange flow dynamics. He points to the Inflow Ratio (BTC+ETH ÷ Stablecoins), a key indicator that measures the balance between major crypto inflows and stablecoin liquidity. Recently, this ratio spiked to 4.0×, coinciding with a wave of selling pressure and a noticeable price pullback. Adler explains this as a classic case of excess supply overwhelming fresh liquidity, a dynamic that has historically placed downward pressure on Bitcoin. Since then, the ratio has eased to around 2.7× on a 7-day moving average, and inflow volumes of majors have cooled to approximately $5 billion per day. While this marks an improvement from the extremes, it still signals that inflows of BTC and ETH are relatively high compared to the stablecoin capital available to absorb them. Simply put, there is not enough new demand flowing in to support sustained upward movement at current levels. Adler’s assessment suggests that Bitcoin remains in a bearish setup, with limited buying liquidity keeping rallies capped. However, he also cautions that crypto markets are highly dynamic, and trends can shift quickly. A sudden resurgence in stablecoin inflows or renewed institutional demand could reverse the current imbalance, sparking another bullish leg. For now, though, the data leans bearish, highlighting the importance of monitoring exchange flows as BTC navigates this critical phase. Related Reading: Bitcoin Mirrors Historical Pullback Ranges – Healthy Correction Or Trouble Ahead? BTC Testing Pivotal Resistance Level Bitcoin is currently trading near $111,192, showing a modest recovery after last week’s volatility that pushed the price below $108,000. The chart highlights Bitcoin’s attempt to reclaim momentum, with the price hovering just above the 100-day SMA (green line at ~$111,737). This moving average now acts as immediate resistance, and BTC needs a clear breakout above it to signal strength. On the upside, the 50-day SMA (~$115,638) represents the next major barrier. If bulls manage to push above this level, it would open the path to retesting the local peak around $123,217, marked as a key resistance line. However, Bitcoin’s inability to sustain gains above the 100-day SMA in recent sessions suggests that sellers remain active. Related Reading: Ethereum Demand Stays Strong As Exchange Reserves Keep Falling – Details Support lies around $108,000, with stronger demand likely at the 200-day SMA (~$101,460). A breakdown below $108,000 could expose BTC to deeper losses, potentially dragging the price toward the psychological $100,000 level. Bitcoin remains in a consolidation zone, caught between major moving averages. A decisive move above $115,000 would tilt momentum bullish again, while a failure to hold current levels risks renewed selling pressure. Bulls must defend $108,000 to prevent further downside.

According to market reports, two ETF decisions are coming up in October. Grayscale faces an Oct. 18 deadline, while Canary is set for Oct. 24. Related Reading: Mastercard Stresses Crypto Is An Enhancement, Not A Substitute A Polymarket poll, which has roughly $150,000 in assets, shows approval odds rising to 87% from an August low of 64%. Some traders say those odds are helping prices because investors expect the US regulator to wrap up multiple ETF filings around the same time, as was the case with spot Bitcoin and Ethereum approvals earlier this year. Market Flows And Demand Data Reports have disclosed strong flows into crypto funds, and analysts point to those moves when discussing potential XRP demand. XRP rose 3% on Tuesday to $2.80, pulling back from this week’s low of $2.68. The move trimmed part of a slide that has pushed the token about 23% below its year-to-date peak of $3.6654. Traders told market watchers they were watching the pair of ETF deadlines on the calendar as one reason for the bounce. Spot Bitcoin ETFs have taken in over $54 billion in inflows, while Ethereum funds show about $13 billion. Existing XRP-related ETFs from providers such as Teucrium and ProShares have pulled in millions in assets, according to filings and industry commentary. The newly launched CME futures for XRP reached more than $1 billion in open interest quickly, a pace that has been noted by some market participants as a sign of appetite for XRP trading exposure. Technical Setup Points To A Possible Breakout XRP fell from a July high of $3.66 to roughly $2.80 recently. That drop is being read by some technicians as part of a falling wedge pattern, which many chart readers view as a bullish formation. Risks Remain Meanwhile, regulatory timing is uncertain. The US regulator has postponed related ETF decisions multiple times, and another delay is possible. Broader market weakness could blunt demand even if approvals arrive. Reports and market commentaries caution that past outcomes for Bitcoin and Ethereum do not automatically guarantee identical results for XRP, given differences in market structure and history.

For now, XRP sits between support near $2.68 and the $4 target that would signal a more sustained move higher. Featured image from Meta, chart from TradingView
