XRP’s making waves, trading at $2.15 after a 4.5% daily spike. A “golden cross” on its chart—a sign of big gains—has traders excited. Big players are moving XRP too; a $63.8 million transfer to Coinbase, likely tied to Ripple’s payment system, got noticed. Ripple’s $1.25 billion buyout of Hidden Road is a huge deal, boosting its clout with banks. XRP’s up 19% from $1.80, and some say $3 is in sight if it holds above $2.23. The XRP Ledger’s being pitched for tokenizing assets, a market that could hit $18.9 trillion. Not everyone buys that XRP’s central to Ripple’s new stablecoin plans, and some traders are betting it’ll drop below $2. Still, XRP’s #2 spot on CoinMarketCap and posts on X show fans are hyped, with talk of record transactions and ETF hopes. Data says XRP’s undervalued, hinting at more room to grow. With Ripple’s deals and XRP’s chart looking strong, it’s one to watch in 2025.
