Crypto markets have always been known for their ups and downs, but according to Real Vision CEO and investor Raoul Pal, we might be entering one of the most exciting phases yet — and XRP could be a big part of it.
Raoul Pal describes something called the “Banana Zone.” It’s a fun term for the final, most explosive part of the crypto bull market — the period when prices start shooting up dramatically. This usually lasts for a year to a year and a half, and according to Pal, we officially entered this zone back in September 2024.
Since then, the market saw a big rally, followed by some correction, but that’s normal for crypto cycles. Now, as liquidity (or money in the market) starts increasing again, things are expected to heat up rapidly towards the end of 2025.
Interestingly, Raoul Pal already has a plan for when he’s going to sell most of his crypto holdings — including XRP, Bitcoin, and other altcoins. Based on historical cycles and liquidity patterns, he believes the market will hit its peak sometime in late 2025.
This final stage of the bull market typically sees all-time highs, with coins like XRP potentially soaring beyond current expectations. “This is the biggest macro trade of our lifetimes,” Pal said. “Crypto can go from a $3 trillion asset class to $100 trillion in 10 years. We’re only 3% of the way there.”
XRP’s price fell after a U.S. judge rejected a deal between Ripple and the SEC. The deal would have reduced Ripple’s penalty from $150 million to $50 million, but the judge said it was filed the wrong way. Because of this, XRP dropped below the key support level of $2.41. It may now fall to $2.34 or even $2.26 if no good news comes soon.
Ripple might still refile the request properly, which could help XRP recover. But for now, the news is seen as bearish for the price.
The Banana Zone is the final, explosive stage of a crypto bull run when prices surge rapidly over 12–18 months.
Yes, XRP could recover if Ripple refiles the deal correctly and gains court approval, restoring investor confidence.
XRP could reach up to $5.81 in 2025, driven by bullish trends, legal clarity, and growing institutional adoption.
