Ripple (XRP) Rockets 358% in a Year—Is $5 the Next Stop?
XRP just pulled off a moonshot—up 358% since May 2024—while Wall Street analysts were busy downgrading crypto. Now, the real question: Can this legal-battle-hardened token punch through $5 in 2025?
Ripple’s recent court wins against the SEC lit a fire under XRP’s price. With institutional adoption creeping up and liquidity pools deepening, the stars might finally align for this perpetual underdog.
But let’s not pop champagne yet. The same ‘experts’ who called XRP a security in 2023 now whisper about $10 targets—classic sell-side whiplash. If Ripple’s ODL corridors keep expanding while avoiding regulatory landmines, $5 could be conservative. Then again, this is crypto—where ‘fundamentals’ often lose to meme-fueled chaos.

Will XRP Hit $5 in 2025?
Ripple’s XRP token is currently down by 29.2% from its all-time high of $3.40. The asset hit a peak in January 2018, more than seven years ago. XRP has to rally by around 111.8% to hit the $5 mark.
According to Changelly’s estimates, Ripple’s XRP token will not breach the $5 mark till February 2027, about two years from now. The platform anticipates the asset to trade at a maximum price of $5.13 in February 2027.
Telegaon analysts are quite bullish on Ripple’s XRP token. The platform predicts XRP will trade at a maximum price of $5.87 in 2025.
There are 10 XRP ETF applications with the SEC. There is a high chance that the SEC will approve at least one XRP ETF this year. An ETF approval will likely lead to a surge in institutional investments. The move could lead to a massive price spike for the asset.
