Popular crypto investor Austin Hilton posted a viral XRP video to his 300,000 subscribers on YouTube last night. He predicted the XRP price could hit $15 at the peak of the bull run, in May 2025.
In a separate video, he updated his outlook on a new altcoin, currently in presale, and priced at just $0.014863. It’s Meme Index and he called it ‘revolutionary’ .
XRP’s Path to $15: Market Analysis and Predictions
Hilton believes crypto markets will take off in early 2025, with Bitcoin possibly hitting $150,000 around March. He points out that when Bitcoin rises, it typically pulls up other cryptocurrencies with it – XRP included. He spent a good portion of the video discussing the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, suggesting that with the new SEC commissioner in place, Ripple might finally get the legal clarity it needs to move forward.
With the XRP price currently trading at $2.45, reaching $15 would require substantial market cap growth and significant capital inflow, likely from institutional investors. Hilton suggests that potential political changes, particularly in the U.S., could play a crucial role. He specifically mentions that when Trump takes the office, there might be increased support for Ripple’s technology in U.S. businesses and banks, potentially driving XRP adoption.
While Hilton sees $15 as possible by May 2025, he acknowledges this timeline is ambitious. He considers late 2025 more realistic, allowing time for market maturation and the conclusion of Ripple’s legal challenges.
When discussing market indicators, Hilton took a deep dive into XRP’s historical patterns and technical signals. He referenced the recent surge from November 5 to December 5 as an example of how quickly XRP can move when market conditions align. However, he stressed the importance of being realistic – while a $7 price point seems achievable with the general market rise, reaching $15 would require several favorable events to line up perfectly.
These include broader crypto adoption, supportive regulations, and potentially increased interest from U.S. banks in Ripple’s cross-border payment technology, which has been largely untapped due to the ongoing legal challenges.
XRP Outperformed by Meme Coins This Bull Run – Is Meme Index Next?
Despite XRP’s impressive 400% surge in November, several new meme coins have shown even stronger performance this bull run. Recent examples include PNUT, FARTCOIN, and PENGU, which have captured significant market attention with their explosive growth.
Hilton just shared his updated perspective on Meme Index (MEMEX), a new meme coin presale project that has already raised almost $2 million in just days. MEMEX introduces a novel approach to the meme coin market by creating a decentralized index system. The project offers four distinct “meme coin baskets”: the Titan Index for lower volatility, Moonshot Index for high-risk opportunities, Midcap Index for balanced exposure, and Frenzy Index for ultra-volatile selections.
The platform aims to tap into the $55 billion meme coin market by adapting the traditional mutual fund model to cryptocurrency. MEMEX token holders can stake their assets for potential staking returns during both presale and post-launch phases. The platform emphasizes user accessibility, allowing simple wallet connections through services like MetaMask for easy participation in their meme coin baskets.
