XRP is struggling to reach the $3.00 target due to profit taking after an impressive six-week rally. After reaching $2.90 on December 3, XRP lost 18% and fell to $2.3 on December 16. Despite this decline, the launch of the RLUSD stablecoin on XRPL and Ethereum is increasing interest in XRP. The approval of RLUSD could significantly increase XRP’s adoption as a payment token in 2025. Ripple CTO David Schwartz warned of supply shortages and price volatility at the launch of RLUSD. XRP’s open interest remains high, and a “bull flag” formation suggests the price could rise to $15. Share your thoughts in the comments.
