- Analyst Jay predicts XRP could reach $10 by December 2025, a 258% surge from its current $2.85 price.
- Bold forecasts also include BTC at $469K, ETH at $25K, SOL at $1K, and HYPE at $300 this cycle.
- Spot XRP ETFs, institutional adoption, and DeFi yield opportunities are seen as key drivers, though risks remain.
The past few weeks haven’t been kind to crypto, and XRP hasn’t been spared either. The token dropped over 10% in the last two weeks, slid almost 7% in a month, and just recently lost its grip on the $3 mark, trading around $2.85. Confidence looks shaky, but some analysts are doubling down on bold predictions anyway.
One of them is prominent commentator Jay, who believes XRP could defy the downturn and stage a major rally this cycle. He’s calling for a run to $10 per token before December 2025, which would mean a staggering 258% jump from current levels. That kind of move would also push XRP’s market cap to nearly $600 billion—territory that would shake up the crypto rankings in a big way.
Big Calls for BTC, ETH, SOL, and HYPE
Jay’s forecast wasn’t just about XRP. He laid out ambitious cycle tops for other heavy hitters too. According to him, Bitcoin could reach $469,000, Ethereum $25,000, Solana $1,000, and Hyperliquid $300. To get there, BTC would need a 328% climb, ETH an eye-watering 528%, SOL about 395%, and HYPE around 570%.
By comparison, XRP’s 258% target almost looks tame. But as with all bold market calls, the big question isn’t just how high, but what could possibly fuel such explosive moves.
Spot XRP ETFs Fuel Optimism
For XRP in particular, one of the biggest sparks of optimism has been the approval of the first-ever spot XRP ETF earlier this month. That green light has stirred talk that other applications still under SEC review might also pass in the coming weeks. If so, those funds could funnel billions in new liquidity into the XRP market, creating the conditions needed for a major rally.
Add to that the recent $500 million treasury allocation from Trident Digital Tech Holdings, which shows serious institutional appetite, and it’s clear momentum is building beyond retail hype. On the DeFi side, platforms like Axelar, Flare Network, and Uphold are rolling out yield opportunities that let holders earn up to 10% annually on XRP. All these moving parts create a sense that something bigger might be brewing under the surface.
Can XRP Really Hit $10?
Still, the path isn’t guaranteed. For XRP to hit $10, it will need more than community enthusiasm—it requires sustained adoption, institutional money, and DeFi expansion to keep utility flowing. The optimism is there, but the execution is everything.
For now, XRP remains stuck under $3, waiting for its next big catalyst. If Jay’s bold call proves right, the coming year could rewrite XRP’s story entirely. But as always in crypto, dreams of double digits need to survive the reality of volatility first.
