XRP (XRP) Price Prediction: Can This Cryptocurrency Be the Next Bitcoin (BTC)?

The cryptocurrency market has always been full of surprises — and one coin that's made serious growth recently is XRP.

Despite boasting a seven-figure net worth from a successful career in media and a sprawling property portfolio, Dave Portnoy, the owner of DDTG Global, recently admitted to being outbid for an apartment in Miami by a crypto investor.

“Just like that, they put in a higher bid and I lost the apartment. And Bitcoin’s up to about $100k. I’ve worked hard for 20 years and yes, there’s 100% FOMO on everything now.”

The rising prices of cryptocurrencies have become a hot topic, especially among younger generations who are feeling the heat of inflation in housing, food, and other essentials.

With Bitcoin exceeding the $100k mark this week after a remarkable run from around $17k in early 2024, many are now turning their attention to the next big coin.

“It’s funny because I feel like Bitcoin has more of a history and people know it more. But maybe that’s the exhaustion setting in after 15 years of people talking about Bitcoin.”

“But now you have XRP and everyone’s talking about it. It’s FOMO. It’s not like I have some brand belief in it. What if that’s the next Bitcoin?”

One of the biggest obstacles for XRP has been its long legal battle with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The case, which began in December 2020, saw the SEC accuse Ripple of selling XRP as an unregistered security.

However, with settlement talks now heating up and both parties moving closer to a resolution, the crypto world is eagerly watching developments. Many believe that once this case concludes, it could pave the way for XRP to surge even higher.

The end of regulatory uncertainty might attract large investors and new partnerships, which Ripple has already been actively pursuing in various countries around the world.

This could be crucial for determining which coin will truly dominate the crypto sphere in the years to come.
