Crypto payment giant MoonPay has sparked excitement across the $XRP community after announcing a daring giveaway tied to $XRP’s price breakout.
The company tweeted that if $XRP hits a new all-time high ($ATH) by December 31, 2025, it will reward one follower with $2,025 worth of $XRP.
The post went viral, stirring discussion about whether 2025 could still mark the year $XRP breaks the 2018 $ATH of $3.84.
$XRP is currently trading at $2.15, down 4.5% over the past 24 hours and 11% for the week. The asset peaked at $3.66 in July 2025 before retracing, entering a consolidation phase that has frustrated many holders but energized long-term forecasts.
Community Reacts to MoonPay’s “New $ATH” Challenge
Many commenters view the giveaway as a fun marketing tactic and a reminder of the community’s conviction. X user Kaivon said the “$XRP gang would be eating good” if it happens. He noted that hitting a new all-time high by December 2025 would be remarkable, coupled with one lucky follower winning $2k worth of $XRP for free.
Another member, Star Spangled Seabee, said they hope $XRP really hits a new peak this year. Others joked, like one user who asked to “push to Q1 2026,” suggesting they’re confident $XRP will eventually hit a new $ATH—just maybe not before the 2025 deadline.
Why Many Believe $XRP Could Hit a New $ATH in 2025
While $XRP’s price remains far below its cycle peak, many analysts argue that its fundamentals have never been stronger.
The Ripple-SEC case, a major source of uncertainty for years, officially ended in August. This removed a major regulatory cloud and opened the path for institutional participation.
Additionally, Ripple has announced over $2.5 billion in acquisitions this year, including cross-border payment integrations and prime brokerage services. These deals continue to position $XRP as key infrastructure for real-time value movement.
Meanwhile, $XRP spot ETFs are now entering the market following increasing regulatory clarity. Analysts expect ETF inflows to boost liquidity and attract new classes of institutional investors.
Bullish Cycle Predictions for $XRP
While $XRP’s price remains below expectations in 2025, some analysts insist $XRP can crack a new peak before the year ends.
For instance, XForceGlobal still expects $15–$30 before the cycle ends. EGRAG sees historical compression patterns pointing to $6–$10 and possibly $37.
Zach Rector argues that telling holders $XRP cannot reach $100 this year feels like “telling kids Santa isn’t real.”
Collectively, these developments have created a narrative that 2025 may still be when $XRP finally clears the long-standing $3.84 barrier.
Ultimately, if $XRP does clear its $ATH by December 31, 2025, one MoonPay follower will be $2,025 richer, and the $XRP community will have one more reason to celebrate.
