Crypto’s Wildest Comeback: XRP to 100% Gains?! 🎭🚀

by

Grab your popcorn, folks! XRP just strutted onto the crypto stage, up 2% last week and nearly 1% today — when the whole crypto market was screaming, “Let’s all crash together!” XRP said, “No thanks, I’m fabulous.” According to our pals at Grayscale, this diva sits pretty among the top 10 gainers. 💃💰

In case you missed the memo, XRP is not only the third largest crypto by market cap, but it’s also the *only* altcoin bragging about positive year-to-date gains, while Bitcoin, Ethereum, and their drama queens sulk in the corner. Currently trading at a modest $2.0615, because humble brag much? 😎

XRP leads top 10 cryptos in year-to-date gains

While the other top dogs went for a financial nosedive worthy of a slapstick comedy, XRP held its head high with a dazzling +0.2% returns. Really, a modest figure… but compared to the Titanic situation of the others, it’s like winning a marathon while others tripped on shoelaces.

Perched at a respectable +278.95% over six months, this little altcoin laughs in the face of downturns, bear markets, and even your Aunt Mildred’s bad investment advice. Weekly returns of 1.6% and a market cap strutting near $125.8 billion prove XRP is no sidekick — it’s the star. 🌟

Bullish catalysts could push XRP price higher

Now, what propelled this comeback? A little thing called SEC lawsuit resolution* — yes, that spicy courtroom drama finally wrapped up, much like your favorite soap opera. A $50 million settlement turned Ripple’s saga from “Will they survive?” to “Encore! Encore!”

Thanks to some political magic (and maybe a dash of Machiavellian maneuvering), XRP’s performance lifted from wallflower to prom king. Active addresses rocketed from 16,826 pre-election (where did all those addresses hide?) to a whopping 100,000 by December 2024.

Donations to Political Action Committees? Check. Cozy Washington DC relationships? Double check. Mentioned as a potential asset for a strategic crypto stash? You betcha. Plus, XRP ETFs chilling in the background like “Soon… very soon.” It’s all lining up like a Broadway show about Wall Street.

XRP price prediction, 100% gains likely

If charts talk, XRP’s saying, “Hold my beer.” That descending triangle looks less like a death trap and more like a trampoline ready to bounce XRP up to $2.50 (hello, 21% gain). But why stop there? We’re dreaming big — 88.85% rally to $3.88, or a moonwalk 127.20% rally to $4.50? All possible.

Technical indicators like MACD flashing green and RSI chilling near neutral tell us: the bull horns are sharpening. So buckle up!

But hey, if XRP fails to close above $2.50, then it might just take a nap at $1.77. Drama, thy name is crypto!

On-chain and derivatives analysis

Santiment’s data is whispering sweet nothings: Binance’s funding rate is positive, meaning shorts are paying longs to party. Investors with more digits than your phone book whales are holding strong, while retail investors dip out with their tail between their legs — classic “retail panic.”

Open interest in XRP is around $3.14 billion, hanging above the 2025 average like a VIP guest. Plus, the long/short ratio is doing the tango: under 1 generally, but smashing over 1 on Binance and OKX, suggesting traders are betting big on XRP’s encore performance.

Net liquidation’s only $2.68 million — a small price compared to those crypto market faceplants we all pretend didn’t happen.
