XRP Bulls Target $10 as Ripple’s U.S. Banking Push Ignites Market Frenzy
Ripple’s latest play for U.S. banking dominance has XRP traders dreaming of double-digit prices—and maybe even a Lambo or two.
Why the hype? The fintech’s regulatory end-run could finally crack Wall Street’s crypto cold war.
Bankers hate it. Crypto degens love it. And that $10 price target? Suddenly doesn’t sound so crazy.
Just don’t mention the SEC’s ongoing lawsuit—some ‘banking partnerships’ are more virtual than others.
News Background
- The cryptocurrency market remains on edge as geopolitical and trade tensions between major economies continue to cloud investor confidence.
- However, XRP’s long-term outlook is bolstered by Ripple’s ongoing push for regulatory clarity and deeper financial integration.
- The firm’s recent application for a U.S. national banking license with the OCC, alongside a separate bid for a Federal Reserve master account, could unlock direct access to the Fed’s payment systems — a groundbreaking development for a crypto-native firm.
- Analysts also point to structural bullish signals, with XRP forming higher highs and higher lows across multiple timeframes.
- Momentum could further accelerate if Ripple secures ETF approval or regulatory breakthroughs, particularly as XRP is increasingly eyed for CBDC bridge infrastructure by more than 50 countries.
- A potential move to $10 — or even higher — is being discussed by market observers, contingent on sustained institutional adoption and market alignment.
