Chad Steingraber, a prominent figure in the XRP community and lead Game Designer, has made a bold prediction that XRP could skyrocket to $250 by 2025. Although he has not provided concrete reasoning for his forecast, Steingraber’s statements have sparked speculation within the community.
Steingraber suggests that XRP would initially rise to $20-$25, with many investors likely to sell at that point. Another enthusiast speculates that frustration may lead to many selling at even lower prices. Steingraber agrees, stating that only a few would hold on for significant gains, despite the fact that many investors are hoping to strike it rich with XRP.
The debate surrounding XRP’s future has intensified as a community member asks about the timing of a price surge. They speculate that a market boom could occur in late July or early August, followed by a market crash and a subsequent recovery in late 2024 or early 2025, potentially injecting wealth into the markets. Steingraber responds by emphasizing the importance of stablecoin regulations, which he believes could be the catalyst for XRP’s rise, possibly by the end of this year or early next year.
Steingraber has previously highlighted XRP’s potential, claiming that only 21 million XRP would be available for public trading, with the rest locked in Private Liquidity Pools. However, this statement has faced skepticism, with many questioning the source and timing of this development. On the other hand, market analysts like Javon Marks have noticed patterns in XRP’s performance that resemble a previous bullish divergence, which led to a significant price increase between 2017 and 2018. Marks suggests that XRP could reach $10-$20 or even higher sooner than anticipated.
Currently, the broader crypto market is facing pressure, with increased selling activity pushing prices downward. Bitcoin, for example, has seen its value drop to around $64,000, a level not seen in over a month, causing a ripple effect across various cryptocurrencies.
XRP has also been affected, dropping to $0.47 and experiencing a -3.82% decline in the previous week. However, XRP has shown greater resilience compared to other altcoins like Ethereum and Solana, which have experienced more significant drops.
This market downturn is accompanied by reports of Ripple’s potential involvement in BRICS Pay, a digital payments platform being developed by Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, with the aim of serving an additional 3 billion users. Despite its current price of $0.4717, the potential for XRP to play a role in global digital payments continues to pique interest.
