John Deaton, a well-known attorney and former U.S. Senate candidate, has weighed in on XRP’s potential for 2025, citing prominent price forecasts. Deaton shared his views after Peter Chung, Head of Research at Presto, provided bullish predictions for several cryptocurrencies while excluding XRP from his analysis.
In a recent interview, Chung predicted that Bitcoin could reach $210,000, Solana might climb to $1,000, and Ethereum’s price ratio to Bitcoin could increase from 0.03 to 0.05 by the end of 2025. However, XRP’s absence from his forecasts raised questions, especially considering the token’s notable achievements in recent months.
Deaton Highlights the Token’s Strong Performance
Reacting to the omission, Deaton emphasized XRP’s growing significance in the cryptocurrency market. He noted that the asset is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, excluding stablecoins. He also pointed out that the token closed 2024 with significant gains, building optimism for its future performance.
Deaton referenced an article from Barron’s that highlighted the token’s remarkable rally last year. According to the report, the token’s price surged from $0.55 on November 5 to $2.86 by December 3, marking a substantial increase.
Diverse Predictions for Future Performance
Several industry leaders have shared their predictions for XRP in 2025, with varying levels of optimism. Arthur Azizov, CEO of B2BinPay, suggested that the token could trade between $5 and $7 in the early part of the year, citing Ripple’s technological developments and the favorable market conditions following the U.S. presidential election.
Hani Abuagla, a crypto analyst at XTB, provided a broader forecast, suggesting that the token’s price could range from a conservative $5 to an ambitious $100. Abuagla believes regulatory developments, particularly under a potential Trump administration, could help shape the token’s future.
Ryan Lee, a researcher at Bitget, offered a balanced outlook. He predicted that XRP could trade within an average range of $1.8 to $8.4. He also expressed optimism that the token might surpass $10 if favorable conditions persist throughout the year.

Market Reactions and Current Status
The wide range of predictions has sparked debate within the crypto community. While some analysts remain optimistic about the asset’s potential, others argue that its recent rally to $2.86 in December may have marked a peak.
Deaton refrained from offering his forecast but underscored the importance of the token’s current market performance. Currently trading at $2.39, the asset reflects a 3.76% increase over the past 24 hours. It has solidified its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, with a market value of $137.26 billion.
The token’s absence from Presto’s predictions has reignited discussions about its potential in the cryptocurrency market. While forecasts vary, the token’s strong 2024 performance has left many investors and analysts optimistic about what lies ahead in 2025.
