As XRP hovers near $2.80, analysts are turning increasingly bullish, citing a mix of technical signals and fundamental catalysts that could drive the token into new price discovery. Some predictions say XRP could hit $13 within the next 40 days, with others pointing to even higher targets before the end of 2025.
Ethereum has shown relative weakness in recent weeks, while XRP continues consolidating near its historic 2017 highs, a setup analysts view as primed for a breakout.
According to ALLINCRYPTO, the broader crypto market excluding Bitcoin is forming a classic cup-and-handle pattern, a structure that often precedes significant rallies. “The total altcoin market is on the cusp of price discovery,” the analyst explained.
XRP is mirroring this structure and appears ready to follow. Their team’s chart projection shows a move toward $19.27.
“Our prediction for that is $19.27, where this pattern takes us. The last time we were on, we spoke about how we could probably or potentially see that before the end of the year. I think that’s very plausible,” he said.
Beyond charts, the push for XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has become a central narrative. Out of 93 active crypto ETF filings, nearly a quarter involve XRP, 19 of them for dedicated XRP funds and at least seven more included in basket products.
CME data further strengthens the case: XRP futures became the fastest in history to hit $1 billion in open interest, surpassing even Bitcoin and Ethereum in speed.
Institutional adoption is also accelerating. Ripple has announced partnerships with Thun, a global firm operating in over 130 countries, and Linklogis, China’s largest trade finance platform. Meanwhile, treasury companies like VivoPower are exploring XRP for asset management and liquidity solutions.
With ETFs, corporate adoption, and a favorable phase in the traditional four-year crypto cycle, analysts argue the stage is set for a “sensational end to the year.
