XRP’s 3-Year Trajectory: Where Will This Crypto Contender Land by 2028?
XRP stands at a regulatory crossroads—three years could make or break this digital asset's mainstream ambitions.
The Regulatory Gauntlet
SEC battles and global compliance hurdles continue shaping XRP's adoption curve. Legal clarity remains the single biggest catalyst—or anchor—for price movement.
Institutional Adoption Race
Cross-border payment partnerships either accelerate or stall completely. Banking integrations either materialize or remain perpetual 'coming soon' announcements that crypto investors love to hate.
Market Position Evolution
Competition from CBDCs and stablecoins intensifies—XRP either carves its niche or gets squeezed out. Trading volume patterns suggest either sustained relevance or gradual erosion to newer protocols.
Price Projection Realities
Technical analysis meets regulatory uncertainty in the ultimate crypto cocktail. Past performance suggests volatility remains the only guarantee—because when has crypto ever followed traditional finance's playbook?

A 10-gigawatt AI deal with OpenAI
On Monday, Broadcom and OpenAI announced a partnership that will see OpenAI design custom AI accelerators that will be developed and deployed in conjunction with Broadcom. Connectivity between server racks will be handled by Ethernet and other connectivity solutions from Broadcom.
Over multiple years, the plan is to deploy AI accelerators that will consume 10 gigawatts of power in aggregate. This deal rivals other recent deals that OpenAI has made withandfor GPUs. Broadcom didn't disclose the revenue impact from this deal, but one analyst estimated that it could generate up to $100 billion in additional revenue for Broadcom over the next four years.
Investors should understand the risks
While the megadeal with OpenAI is a huge win for Broadcom, the company is taking a meaningful risk by partnering with the AI start-up. OpenAI has struck multiple megadeals in recent months for AI infrastructure, but as of today, it doesn't have the cash or the revenue to pay for them.
OpenAI is going to need to raise an unprecedented amount of capital to fund its ambitions. If it fails to do so, or if the AI boom fizzles out, Broadcom could be left holding the bag.
