XRP ended 2024 on a high note, securing its first-ever annual close above $2. This accomplishment is a major step forward in the asset’s ability to recover from years of decline in the cryptocurrency market as a whole. Analysts now speculate that XRP could reach unprecedented levels in 2025, fueled by favorable regulatory prospects and technical momentum.
XRP’s 2024 Performance: A Strong Comeback
In 2024, the prices of XRP rose by over 370%. Beginning at $0.61511, the asset rose to $2.90550 during the year but closed at $2.07924. This was the first time that XRP had closed above $2, demonstrating how it was back on the radar as one of the most-performing digital currencies for the year. While it did not rise above its high for 2018, $3.84, the asset revealed sustainable performance and got renewed investor attention.
It is synchronized with positive sentiment on new laws in relation to the coming US administration. During the US presidential campaign, Republican candidate Donald Trump expressed many pro-crypto views. He nominated Paul Atkins, a former member of the SEC of the USA, as the head of the commission. This environment has left XRP in a potential further growth category.
Analysts’ Projections for 2025
Prominent crypto analyst EGRAG has outlined ambitious price targets for XRP in 2025, leveraging the Linear Regression Channel indicator and Fibonacci extensions. These tools analyze historical price trends and potential breakout levels and suggest several key milestones for XRP in the coming months.
EGRAG projects XRP could reach $6.4 in Q1 2025, aligning with the 1.618 Fibonacci extension level. Should the asset breach the channel’s upper bounds, a subsequent target of $8.5 emerges, supported by the 1.272 level of a secondary Fibonacci expansion. Intermediate targets near $4.4 are also anticipated, corresponding to the 1.414 Fibonacci level.
For November 2025, EGRAG forecasts two potential high points: $13 and $27. Based on the 1.414 and 1.618 levels of the second Fibonacci expansion, these projections represent what the analyst terms a “cycle blow-off top.” This phase could be characterized by dramatic price surges followed by sharp corrections. While these projections remain speculative, they have sparked significant interest in XRP’s potential.
Current Market Position
XRP has begun 2025 on a positive trajectory, trading at $2.14, a 5% gain over the past 24 hours. This performance places it as the top gainer among the leading cryptocurrencies by market capitalization. The combination of favorable regulatory developments and strong technical indicators suggests that XRP may continue its upward momentum. However, whether the asset can achieve the ambitious targets set for 2025 remains contingent on broader market conditions and investor sentiment.
