XRP price prediction news is in the spotlight as Ripple pledges $250,0000—delivered largely in RLUSD stablecoin—to support U.S. educators

The donation, coupled with renewed XRP price prediction chatter focusing on a 100% rally past $5, has reignited Ripple's market interest.

Teacher Appreciation Week brought a special initiative from Ripple, delivering $25 million—largely in RLUSD stablecoin—to support U.S. educators and public school classrooms. The initiative, in partnership with DonorsChoose and Teach for America, will also see the launch of financial literacy programs.

“It’s a meaningful example of how stablecoins can drive real-world impact—starting in the classroom,” said Eric van Miltenburg, Ripple’s SVP of Strategic Initiatives.

At the same time, JetBolt ($JBOLT) is extending its rally among presale altcoins by crossing $3.2 million in revenue. The platform, known for its zero-gas features and accessible architecture, has seen strong interest in its presale, which is expected to conclude in early May.

From available figures, the presale has now sold nearly 351 million tokens, with daily engagement attributed to its unique blend of live utility and accessible tools.

Among the features that have drawn attention is JetBolt’s zero-gas blockchain, which ensures users don’t have to pay gas fees when staking or engaging on-chain. The JetBolt presale has also undergone a third-party audit, affirming the transparency of its smart contracts.

Central to JetBolt’s accessibility is its biometric Web3 wallet, which integrates face recognition and WebAuthN to simplify wallet creation and transaction approval. Importantly, all token purchases grant instant custody, enabling holders to begin staking or interacting with the platform right away.

Can XRP Push Past $5? Ripple’s $25M Donation Sparks Fresh Talk of $10 Rally

Ripple has received tremendous praise during the Teacher Appreciation Week for its $25 million commitment to education, delivered primarily through the RLUSD stablecoin.

Partnering with DonorsChoose and Teach for America, Ripple says the funds will go toward public school classrooms and eventually help launch financial literacy programs.

American educators can now apply for funding requests for their classroom projects on DonorsChoose.org.

The initiative aligns with Ripple’s broader vision to foster a more inclusive and equitable financial system, which it details on its official website.

At the same time, the initiative sparks fresh conversation about XRP’s price prediction.

In a recent analysis, crypto analyst @CryptoInsightUK projected that XRP could “very realistically go to $10 plus this cycle”—with a 100% rally or more possible if current trends in Bitcoin dominance continue.

The analyst argued that a 40% drop in BTC dominance, similar to previous altcoin surges, could help XRP push past $5 and even test $16 under favorable conditions.

However, he cautioned that a steeper decline in BTC dominance, perhaps to the 20s, could open the door for even more significant gains in the altcoin market.

"If Bitcoin dominance drops to 20%, we could be looking at an XRP price in the mid to high-teens. I think it's very possible to see XRP trading at $15 to $16."

At the same time, some in the XRP community are also looking back at the history of the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

In a recent tweet, user @i_go_G questioned why the first 32,569 ledgers on the XRPL are missing from public record.

To everyone's surprise, Ripple CTO David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz responded directly, explaining that a bug during XRPL’s early development phase caused the loss of ten days of ledgers.

"We created many ledger streams... a software bug caused some ledgers (about ten days) to be lost. All but the first 32k or so were recovered... We debated resetting the ledger just for cleanliness, but that would have removed everything after those 32k ledgers."

The team ultimately decided not to overwrite the chain’s later data, preserving continuity despite the incomplete early history.

At press time, XRP trades at $2.09, down 2.70% today.

As Ripple expands its RLUSD footprint and defends its ledger history, XRP’s price prediction sits at a crossroads where market speculation, community questions, and institutional outreach collide.

JetBolt Unlocks Instant Custody and Biometric Wallet Access as Presale Passes $3.2M

JetBolt ($JBOLT) has extended its rally among presale altcoins by crossing $3.2 million in revenue, confirming heightened interest in its zero-gas, utility-first platform.

From available figures, the presale has now sold nearly 351 million tokens, with growing daily engagement attributed to its unique blend of live utility and accessible tools.

The figures also show that the presale is expected to conclude in early May, setting the stage for a potential listing on centralized exchanges.
