XRP experienced a significant bullish surge in early 2025, with analysts predicting a potential rise to anywhere between $7 in the worst-case scenario and $20 by the end of the year.
Currently priced at $2.41, XRP has shown a steady increase of 9.71% over the past week and a slight 0.69% rise in the past 24 hours. This upward momentum follows a rally that began during the New Year celebrations.
XRP Worst Case Scenario for 2025
Amid the bullish momentum, one prominent voice in the XRP community, “The Modern Investor,” shared a promising forecast for XRP 2025. He cited an analysis that argued the worst-case scenario for XRP in 2025 is $7 per coin. Meanwhile, the expected “normal” scenario could push the coin to between $16 and $20.
In addition to these projections, “The Modern Investor” also noted that XRP could reach $10 in the near term. He notes that this price point could trigger heightened excitement and further investments, especially among retail traders.
XRP’s extensive network of financial institutions and central banks is often cited as one of the primary reasons for such bullish forecasts. Ripple’s ongoing work with Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) further strengthens this view.
XRP Projected Dynamics Post Ripple Lawsuit
In a related update, XRP pundit Digital Asset Investor also expressed an optimistic forecast for the token’s future. Drawing insights from an AI-powered chatbot, he highlighted the potential for XRP to achieve new all-time highs following the conclusion of its ongoing legal battle.
This optimistic perspective suggests that a favorable resolution in the case could trigger significant price growth fueled by renewed investor confidence.
Over the years, the legal battle between Ripple and the SEC affected XRP’s price trajectory. For context, the lawsuit, which began in December 2020, caused a sharp decline in XRP’s value, with the coin dropping to as low as $0.17.
However, some analysts now speculate that a favorable ruling for Ripple could reverse these losses and push XRP to new price levels. XRP has already reclaimed most of the losses for the SEC case and is now attempting to break a new peak after seven years of trading below. At press time, XRP is trading at $2.41.
Rising Interest in XRP in South Korea
In a related report, recent data highlights XRP’s growing prominence, particularly in South Korea’s crypto market. Specifically, XRP surpassed Bitcoin in trading volume on local exchanges such as Upbit.
XRP accounted for nearly three times the trading volume of Bitcoin on Upbit, with $606 million compared to Bitcoin’s $246 million. This trend was also evident on other major South Korean platforms, including Bithumb and Coinone.
