According to Forbes, XRP’s next five years will hinge on whether it can turn legal clarity into real payment use and steady liquidity. Related Reading: Could Pi Network Land On Coinbase? Hackathon Winner Thinks So The token is trading at $3, up 4% in the last seven days. It has a market cap of about $176 billion. That puts XRP back among the top three crypto assets by capitalization. Regulatory Clarity Gives XRP A Running Start In July 2023 a US court found that programmatic sales of XRP on public exchanges were not securities, while some institutional sales remained in question. The matter moved again in August 2025 when both the SEC and Ripple dismissed appeals, preserving that split ruling. That step removed a long-standing legal overhang that had discouraged many institutional players from moving forward in the US. Market Snapshot And On-Chain Tools Reports show recent price peaks vary by source — $3.84 on some trackers and $3.65 on others — but liquidity metrics have improved. The XRP Ledger settles transactions in three to five seconds and typically charges under $0.01 in fees. In March 2024 the ledger added an on-chain automated market maker via the XLS-30 amendment. Payments And Remittances Could Drive Demand Global remittances to low- and middle-income countries reached over $680 billion in 2024, with average fees near 6%, while the UN target is 3%, Forbes said. Ripple already runs production corridors with partners such as SBI Remit in Japan and Onafriq in Africa, connecting payments to the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia and 27 African countries. If treasurers and regulators in those corridors accept crypto rails, XRP could win steady, utility-driven flows rather than pure speculation. Products And New Channels For Investors Ripple launched RLUSD, a dollar-backed stablecoin, in 2025 with reserves custodied at BNY Mellon. Multiple issuers have filed S-1 and 19b-4 forms for US spot XRP products. Those filings could create a fresh demand channel if approvals follow. According to Finder’s expert panel in July 2025, the average XRP price is expected to be $2.80 by the end of 2025 and $5.25 by 2030 — projections that depend on adoption, liquidity, and market-access steps such as ETFs. Related Reading: Dogecoin Gears Up For Triple Surge Vs. Bitcoin – Details Where XRP Could Stand In Five Years According to Forbes, if corridor volume shifts from fiat and stablecoins into XRP, and if custody and ETF channels open, demand could grow in a sustained way. In that scenario, price upside would be supported by both real payment flows and passive investment. If those pieces do not align — if stablecoins dominate corridors, if CBDCs gain traction, or if execution issues persist — XRP may stay widely traded but see limited real-world settlement use.

The higher-timeframe momentum gauges for Dogecoin are quietly resetting, and two widely followed chartists say the setup that preceded DOGE’s biggest advances is close to reappearing. In a new monthly chart, Kevin (@Kev_Capital_TA) stacks three market cycles and highlights a repeating structure: long, descending consolidations that resolve into impulsive breakouts, followed by measured Fibonacci 1.618 extension targets penciled far above the range. One Trigger Could Ignite Dogecoin’s Cycle Surge The present cycle has already cleared its multi-month falling wedge on the 1-month chart and, critically, completed a clean throwback: price pushed through the descending trendline, retested it from above, and turned higher, converting former resistance into support. On Kevin’s canvas, DOGE trades in the ~$0.23 area on the monthly scale, sitting beneath layered horizontal supply bands but above the wedge ceiling that capped it through the consolidation. Related Reading: Dogecoin Crash Incoming? Analyst Warns Bulls Are Out Of Time Momentum is the hinge of Kevin’s thesis. “Anytime we saw Monthly Stoch RSI crosses on #ogecoin outside of the bear market along with an uptrending Monthly RSI ultimately lead to massive rallies to the upside,” he writes. He adds that “the goal is to get the StochRSI to cross the 20 level and show follow through as anything below that level is a sign of weak momentum. Currently crossing to the upside and at the 13 level.” His lower panel draws a rising diagonal on the 1-month RSI—explicitly labeled “Higher Lows on 1M RSI”—to underscore that longer-term momentum troughs have been stepping up even as price coiled inside the wedge. Kevin also reiterates the inter-market backdrop he’s watching: “If BTC can move higher and not putter out on us and we ultimately get ETH into price discovery with a dropping BTC Dominance then like I have said before DOGE’s biggest move of the cycle is likely. Just need a little more time and for BTC and the macro to support the move. That’s the reality not engagement farming hopium.” Related Reading: Dogecoin Stalls Near $0.22: Analysts Say a Major Breakout Pattern Could Be Forming With the structural breakout and retest in hand, the remaining confirmation on his checklist is mechanical—see the monthly StochRSI reclaim and hold above 20 while the monthly RSI preserves its pattern of higher lows. On targets, Kevin has previously mapped an aggressive trio of Fibonacci extensions above the last cycle’s peak: 1.618 at $3.97, 1.65 at $4.33, and 1.703 at $5.00. In prior cycles on the same template, wedge resolutions were followed by vertical expansion toward comparable 1.618 objectives; these three levels now serve as forward waypoints should trend acceleration resume. Ichimoku Cloud Analysis For DOGE A complementary, mid-cycle lens from Cantonese Cat (@cantonmeow) uses 2-week candles with Ichimoku Cloud to track the transition. “It’s doing more or less what I thought it would do from 2 months ago,” he notes, “where it bounced off the cloud, reclaiming Tenkan (blue line) as support, and is trying to launch itself above the green Ichimoku cloud on the right.” In Ichimoku terms, that sequence—cloud bounce, Tenkan regain, then an attempt to clear the top of the forward green cloud—aligns with a shift from corrective to trending conditions on the 2-week timeframe and dovetails with Kevin’s higher-timeframe momentum trigger. Taken together, the two studies narrow the focus to a clear condition set. Tactically, the 2-week chart is pressing the cloud top after reclaiming the Tenkan as support. And cyclically, the 1-month StochRSI is curling up from ~13 toward the threshold Kevin considers decisive at 20 while the 1-month RSI maintains a series of higher lows. If those momentum thresholds are secured against a supportive majors tape—firmer BTC, ETH in discovery, and declining BTC dominance—the Fibonacci extensions at $3.97, $4.33, and $5.00 could be DOGE’s price targets for this cycle. At press time, DOGE traded at $0.223. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
