XRP’s 2025 Comeback: Can It Crack the Top 5 Crypto Rankings Again?

Market analysts are placing bets on XRP's potential resurgence as we approach the final stretch of 2025.

The digital asset that once dominated headlines with its regulatory battles now faces its ultimate test—reclaiming relevance in an increasingly crowded field.

Analysts point to several factors that could propel XRP back into the elite circle, though skeptics remind everyone that in crypto, today's darling often becomes tomorrow's forgotten token.

Institutional adoption patterns and regulatory clarity appear to be driving the optimistic forecasts, while trading volumes suggest growing momentum behind the scenes.

Of course, in traditional finance circles, they're still wondering why anyone would trust an asset that moves 20% because someone tweeted a rocket emoji.

Whether XRP makes its move or gets left behind will ultimately depend on whether it can deliver real utility rather than just riding speculation waves.

• Even though XRP faces strict competition from other coins, it is the world’s 3rd most famous cryptocurrency
• Ripple’s partial win in its lawsuit against SEc makes it more famous and desirable
• The coin’s outlook has significantly improved throughout this year

The native token of Ripple Labs, XRP, is one of the most well-known Cryptocurrencies in the world. According to market cap statistics, the altcoin is poised to be among the top 3 cryptocurrencies in the world. At the time of writing, the coin is trading at $3.05 (1.67%) with a market capitalization of $181.88 billion. The volume of the coin is $5.08 billion.

XRP’s Current Market Position

According to the data given by Trading View, the coin is experiencing resistance (blue) at $3.0751 and can reach up to $4. The support line (yellow) for the coin is at $3.0149; this can drop to $3 if it goes down more.

The Moving Average indicator suggests that the coin is going through a bullish momentum since the indicator is below the candlesticks. But the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) shows a bearish momentum because the signal line is above the MACD LINE (blue).

The data provided by CoinMarketCap says that there are 88% traders vote for a bullish momentum, and the rest 12% doubt a bearish momentum. Despite all improvements in outlook, XRP faces serious opposition from the LAYER 1 blockchain. All these competition boasts high speed, low cost, and a developing ecosystem.

Analyst Predictions: A Mixed Bag

Analysts are split on the coin’s prospects. Ripple’s institutional relations are strong and can help it become more relevant. The data provided by CoinCodex makes it clear that the altcoin might have an average price of $3.50 when the year ends. XRP could have the potential ROI of 15.95%, which can be more than any other month.

With a rejuvenated community, growing value, and clarity in legal stand position, analysts believe that the coin will end 2025 in the list of top 5 cryptocurrencies. As the year progresses, all traders have their eyes on the Q4 sector of the coin.
