Crypto analysts predict an XRP surge to $9 or even $24 within this cycle

XRP has seen a 17% gain over the past month, outperforming Bitcoin's modest 2.8% increase. This strong performance has fueled optimistic projections.

Crypto analysts are predicting a surge to $9 or even $24 for XRP within this cycle, but some warn of a potential pullback that could push prices below $1. As the Ripple ecosystem evolves and regulatory clouds begin to clear, the future of XRP may depend on a complex mix of market dominance, political influence, and institutional adoption.

Analysts Eye $9 to $24 Range in 2025

XRP has seen a 17% gain over the past month, outperforming Bitcoin's modest 2.8% increase. This strong performance has fueled optimistic projections.

Influential analyst The Modern Investor expects XRP to climb to $9 by September 2025, implying a market cap of around $500 billion, placing it in the same league as tech giants like Mastercard.

DK64Trades, another respected figure in the Ripple XRP news space, envisions a rally even beyond $10. His model, which factors in historical dominance metrics, suggests a target as high as $17.80.

"XRP dominance is currently hovering near 4.3%. If it returns to its 2018 levels above 30%, we could see XRP’s market cap top $1 trillion," he claimed.

These forecasts are largely contingent on whether XRP can regain a larger share of the overall crypto market—a dynamic often influenced by Bitcoin's dominance.

Bitcoin Dominance Drop Could Ignite XRP Rally

One of the more technical catalysts being tracked is Bitcoin dominance (BTC.D). According to analyst Capt Toblerone, a major decline in BTC.D could unleash a wave of altcoin investment.

"If Bitcoin dominance drops from the current 62.86% to below 20%, it could trigger an altcoin season where XRP becomes a standout," he explained.

In such a scenario, Toblerone predicts that XRP could rocket to $22. With Bitcoin dominance having already slipped from a peak of 65% earlier in May, some believe the setup for an XRP breakout is forming.
