The cryptocurrency market is bracing for a potential breakout in XRP, as analysts forecast a major rally aligned with Bitcoin’s next move higher. According to crypto analyst Virtual Bacon, XRP could climb to $4.50 by the end of 2025 and even surge toward $10 at the cycle peak, provided market conditions align.
XRP’s Upside Linked to Bitcoin and Altcoin ETFs
Bacon’s projection is based on the assumption that Bitcoin reaches $200,000 in the current cycle, pulling altcoins into a broader rally. He noted that historically, XRP has outperformed during altcoin seasons, particularly when its price strengthens relative to Bitcoin.
If XRP regains its historical ratio against BTC, the analyst believes the token could hit a short-term target of $4.50. Longer term, the cycle peak could see XRP reach $9–$10, a level not seen in its history.
Altcoin ETFs, which are expected to enter the market following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, could also act as a major catalyst. Institutional exposure through such funds would provide liquidity and legitimacy, strengthening XRP’s adoption case.
Resistance and Market Challenges
Currently, XRP trades far below the projected levels, struggling with resistance near $0.60–$0.70. Despite these hurdles, analysts argue that XRP’s utility in cross-border payments and settlement systems remains a long-term driver.
However, bearish pressures remain. XRP’s price is still recovering from a prolonged period of stagnation, and regulatory challenges—particularly its past lawsuit with the U.S. SEC—continue to cast uncertainty over institutional adoption.
Why $10 Is Possible
Virtual Bacon argues that the $10 target is ambitious but achievable if XRP tracks its historical patterns during major crypto cycles. The 2017 bull run saw XRP peak at over $3.50, giving credibility to the idea that in a stronger, more liquid market, higher valuations are possible.
He emphasized that altcoin ETFs, combined with Bitcoin’s strength, could push XRP into the double-digit territory for the first time, provided liquidity inflows mirror those seen in earlier cycles.
Outlook
XRP’s near-term journey will depend heavily on Bitcoin’s trajectory and the timing of institutional products like ETFs. If BTC pushes toward $200K and altcoin markets ignite, XRP could see $4.50 by 2025 year-end, with the possibility of touching $10 at cycle peak.
For investors, the key will be watching XRP’s performance relative to Bitcoin, as this ratio often signals whether the altcoin is gearing up for a breakout or facing continued consolidation.
