In a surprising crypto market twist, XRP has taken center stage, surging rapidly as investor sentiment improves following major geopolitical developments.
According to coin market cap data, XRP jumped from around $1.80 to $2.04 within an hour, marking an over 13% spike and a 10% 24-hour gain. Trading volume soared to $8.07 billion, pushing its market cap to over $118 billion.
As of April 9, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has surprisingly announced a halt to the recently imposed tariffs on all nations for 90 days. These tariffs, famously known as Trump, had been putting downward pressure on global markets.
Despite the tariff relief, XRP’s journey to $3 becomes brighter, but important considerations such as the pending litigation, market trends, and institutional demand still count. Although experts think $2.50 to $3.00 is achievable this April, going up from the present $2.04 to $3 in the week would involve a sharp and quick rally.
Crypto community was already speculating on X saying that if XRP falls below $1.30, whales may buy in heavily, perhaps stabilizing the price and positioning for the price to rebound to $2.50–$3.00 if Trump further changes tariffs.
Adding to the positive sentiment, Geoffrey Kendrick, global head of digital assets research at Standard Chartered, wrote in a fresh report that XRP may hit $5 by the end of 2025 and jump to $12.50 by 2028, a potential gain of more than 500% from current prices.
The next few days will be pivotal as investors observe if momentum can propel XRP to the next big milestone.
