NOIDA (CoinChapter.com)—XRP has seen a remarkable resurgence, recently climbing to $2.70 and approaching its all-time high of $3.30 set in 2018. The token’s legal clarity after Ripple’s win against the SEC and broader market optimism have contributed to this upward momentum.
As XRP continues its journey, many analysts, including Jebb McAfee, believe the token could reach nearly $10 in its 2025 bull run.
Analyst Sets XRP Price Target For 2025
In his recent video, Jebb McAfee outlined several factors driving XRP’s potential for growth. He highlighted the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC as a critical turning point, restoring investor confidence in XRP.
McAfee also noted Ripple’s ambitious plans to rival SWIFT could dramatically increase XRP’s use case and adoption by 2025.

While McAfee’s price predictions of $7.50 to $10 for the current cycle and $15 in a bullish 2025 scenario seem overtly optimistic, they align with historical price trends. Historically, XRP price rallied sharply in 2018 and 2020, following Bitcoin’s peaks during market cycles.
However, this time, McAfee suggests that XRP’s rally may not depend entirely on Bitcoin dominance but on independent market respect for the token. Recent price action supports this claim, with XRP gaining momentum before the altcoin season officially begins.
Ripple’s ongoing expansions, including hiring initiatives and securing substantial investments, add credibility to the argument for XRP’s growth. However, for XRP to achieve these lofty targets, key milestones like institutional adoption, potential ETF approval, and further regulatory clarity will be essential.
While McAfee’s analysis is compelling, it assumes significant external factors falling into place. My analysis indicates that XRP’s value lies in its ability to evolve beyond its current trading dynamics.
Ripple’s advancements in cross-border payment solutions, combined with a friendlier U.S. regulatory environment, strengthen the token’s case. While $15 remains a stretch, a realistic $10 target by 2025 is plausible if the broader crypto market sustains its growth trajectory and Ripple continues to deliver on its promises.
Ripple Token Consolidating For Now
The XRP USD pair halted its bull run as the token entered December 2024. Since then, the price has remained range-bound between $2.2 and $2.8, suggesting that the Trump win hype has likely left the market.

Should the Ripple token start a rally again, XRP prices could rebound off the 20-day EMA (red) and challenge the resistance near $2.815. Breaking and consolidating above the immediate support might help XRP price rise to the resistance near $3.44.
However, breaching the EMA trendline could force the XRP USD pair to test support near $1.93. Moreover, failure of the immediate support level would likely cause the token to drop to the support level near $1.4 before recovering.
The RSI for XRP remained neutral, with a score of 58.28 on the daily charts.
