- XRP had a huge boost last year
- It registered an increase of over 400% in a time span of 12 months
- Some analysts and traders are positive about XRP’s future
XRP shocked the crypto world last year as it experienced a remarkable surge, notably increasing its market value. Starting at approximately $0.52 in November 2024, XRP’s price jumped to around $2.46 by early 2025, marking an increase of nearly 373%.
It’s currently sitting at $2.65, which means more than a 400% increase over one year.
This gave rise to all kinds of speculation about whether XRP would achieve a big breakout against BTC.
If we take a look at the monthly price chart (courtesy of CoinMarketCap), it’s noticeable that XRP has been performing very well.
However, this can always change when it comes to cryptocurrencies, though some experts and well-known traders have a positive stance regarding future developments.
Expert Opinion: Bullish, but Cautious
For instance, a few days ago, Peter Brandt said on X that even though he doesn’t care about XRP, there is no other way right now to define the chart other than a bull flag. Of course, he did mention that the situation could shift, but caution is always advised.
If we calculate the price of XRP with the market cap of BTC, the XRP price is $34.17, which is almost 13 times more than it is now.
The signs do point out that XRP’s breakout against Bitcoin might happen.
That said, it’s wise to bear in mind that the above isn’t investment advice of any sort, so don’t take anything for granted. Always make sure to thoroughly do your research before dabbling in anything crypto-related.
XRP’s Current Market Position
Recent market volatility, influenced by geopolitical events such as US President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Canada, Mexico, and China, has impacted XRP’s price (as well as all cryptos).
Still, going by its market cap of $151.92 billion, XRP remains one of the top cryptocurrencies around. Over the years, especially the last one, regulatory clarity has helped it regain momentum.
It’s also worth noting that if current levels of adoption continue, XRP could play a key role in cross-border payments and DeFi (Decentralized Finance). We’ll just have to wait and see.
