Ripple's XRP has seen significant price growth, rising by more than 250% in the past three months. This surge has drawn attention from crypto investors, with some analysts predicting that the price could reach as high as $8 in the coming months.
Crypto Market Eyes $5T
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse remained optimistic about the crypto market in 2024, predicting it would surpass $5 trillion by year-end. At the time, with the market already up 60% to $2.6 trillion, Garlinghouse attributed the growth to macro factors like the upcoming Bitcoin halving and the launch of spot Bitcoin ETFs, which were attracting institutional investors. He also highlighted the potential for positive regulatory momentum in the US as a key factor for further growth.
Egrag, a crypto trader, has shared an analysis, suggesting that XRP could achieve 10% to 20% market dominance in the cryptocurrency industry. He believes the price could increase by over 600% to $8 if the total crypto market cap surpasses $5 trillion, as Ripple’s CEO has predicted.

Crypto Market Growth Fuels XRP

EGRAG’s analysis, based on price actions from 2017 and 2021, notes that XRP has seen a decline in market dominance, reaching record lows. However, as XRP recovers in price and surpasses previous highs, it may regain some of its market dominance.
The sentiment surrounding XRP is optimistic, with many anticipating new all-time highs, particularly as Bitcoin also attempts to break the $100,000 mark. As of now, XRP is trading at $2.20, reflecting a 52% increase over the past month. It has a trading volume of over $5.60 billion in the past 24 hours.
