Ripple’s XRP has been under the spotlight for several months now. The altcoin’s sudden jump above the $1 mark has been monumental. After being sidelined for years, the asset emerged as one of the top performers. The cryptocurrency, with its 300% gain throughout the past year, managed to make the most out of the change in the US government. While the community expected XRP to record a new high, investors were happy to see it move close to its peak. But XRP holders are yearning to see a new peak by the end of 2025. The real question is whether the asset can turn these dreams into reality.

XRP saw a major drop of 11.47% during the past 30 days. As the altcoin steps into a new chapter, investors hope to pocket big gains.

Peter Brandt Highlights Timeline
Peter Brandt, a market analyst, recently forecasted the values of assets like Bitcoin and XRP by the end of 2025 in a tweet late Friday. Sadly, he wasn’t too bullish about “everyone’s favorite,” XRP. Despite its massive growth over the past couple of months, Brandt laid out a bearish prediction for the altcoin.
Brandt indicated two points where he projected the asset would end the year. The market capitalization data indicates that XRP may end the year at $116.67 billion or a little over $60 billion. It should be noted that these estimates result in prices between $1.98 and $2 and $1.02 and $1.07. All these price points are much lower than the asset’s current level.
