XRP has reached a seven-year high, briefly surpassing $3 during U.S. trading, marking its strongest performance since January 2018. The token has gained 488% since Donald Trump’s election win, reclaiming its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, now exceeding $170 billion and even surpassing BlackRock’s valuation. XRP’s rally coincides with Bitcoin hitting $100,000 and a broader crypto market surge.
Key drivers behind XRP’s rise include growing anticipation for crypto-friendly U.S. policies, Ripple’s legal progress with the SEC, and speculation about the approval of a spot XRP ETF. Ripple President Monica Long expressed optimism about imminent ETF approval under the incoming administration. Additionally, Ripple’s launch of its stablecoin, RLUSD, and a series of strategic partnerships have fueled investor confidence.
Large holders have significantly contributed to the rally, accumulating 1.4 billion XRP tokens (worth $3.8 billion) over the past two months, as reported by Santiment. Analysts suggest XRP could surpass its previous all-time high of $3.40, with inflation-adjusted targets above $4.24. The breakout from a consolidation pattern in December has further strengthened the token’s bullish momentum, positioning it for potential new records.
