XRP is back in the spotlight after a sudden pop in price. At press time, the token traded at $2.80, up 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Earlier today, it even hit $2.90 before easing back.
Traders haven’t seen XRP at these levels since the first week of March, and chatter is growing across trading desks and social channels.
Market Data: Last Week’s Rally Tops 25%
XRP’s weekly gains now stand around 23%, giving long‑time holders a welcome lift. Bitcoin’s break above $118,800—and its steady hold near $118,000—has opened space for altcoins to shine.
Still, only 28 out of the top 100 non‑stablecoin tokens have outpaced Bitcoin over the past 90 days, keeping the Altcoin Season Index at just 28/100. That tells us this isn’t a full‑blown altcoin boom yet, but XRP has broken out anyway.
Don’t be surprised if you wake up randomly this week and $XRP is $4+

XRP Finds Path To $4
Based on reports, crypto educator Edoardo Farina tweeted that seeing XRP north of $4 “as early as this week” wouldn’t be a shock. Pushing past $4 would mean a 50% jump from current levels and clear the old all‑time high of $3.85 set in January 2018.
Such a move could come in a fast burst rather than a slow grind, driven by sudden FOMO among buyers chasing new peaks.
Ripple Partnerships And ETF Push
Ripple has been busy on the partnership front. In early July, the company teamed up with BNY Mellon to custody its RLUSD stablecoin, the 8th‑largest stablecoin by market cap, aiming to draw in big institutions.
Meanwhile, futures‑based XRP ETFs from ProShares and others launched in July, and more than 10 spot‑XRP ETF applications are now under SEC review. Any green light on a spot ETF could send demand—and price—higher.
XRP Price Prediction
According to the latest price prediction, XRP is expected to slip by 0.62% and reach $2.75 by August 12, 2025. Technical indicators still lean bullish, and the Fear & Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). Over the last 30 days, XRP posted 18/30 green days with 6.88% price swings, data from CoinCodex shows.
Regulatory Risks And Next Steps
Even with positive signs, XRP faces hurdles. The SEC hasn’t approved any altcoin ETFs yet, and updates in Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit could trigger fresh volatility. Traders should watch headline risks closely. For now, gains have been impressive, and the coin’s four‑month high hints at more action ahead.
