XRP’s Make-or-Break Moment: Where Will Ripple’s Token Land by May 2025?

Ripple’s legal battles fade into rearview—now the market decides XRP’s fate. After years of regulatory whiplash, the ’banker’s crypto’ faces its ultimate stress test.

Bull Case: A clean SEC settlement could send XRP screaming past $3—nostalgic investors still remember 2018’s $3.40 ATH. Mainstream adoption by payment corridors adds rocket fuel.

Bear Trap: If US regulators keep playing whack-a-mole with crypto, XRP could flatline below $0.50. Even ’bridge asset’ narratives can’t defy gravity when liquidity flees.

Wildcard: Watch Japan. Their FSA loves Ripple’s compliance-first approach—a major partnership there might bypass Western skepticism entirely.

Let’s be real—whether XRP moons or tanks, some hedge fund manager will still claim they ’called it all along’ while sipping a $28 latte.

Ripple: What Lies Ahead?

XRP is currently sitting at a new price spot of $2.19, down 0.32% in the last 24 hours. The token is currently eyeing new price spots per Egrag Crypto and has already planned its ascent to reach the top spot. Per the expert, XRP is eyeing notable price spots, possibly as high as $17, in his latest price analysis.

Egrag Crypto took to X to share his view, adding how the token is vying to hit a new high mark of $17. This may happen when XRP crosses the critical barrier of the $3 to $5 price spot, post which it can break out, surging steadily in the process.

I’m becoming increasingly convinced that we’re mirroring the 2017 cycle, but the timing may be either delayed or accelerated.
