Ripple’s XRP is trading just under $3 at writing, but some analysts think the next few months could bring a big surprise.
In a recent chat with Paul Barron, Jake Claver, CEO of Digital Ascension Group, explained why he believes XRP could surge into double digits before 2025 even starts.

Why Jake Claver Is So Bullish
Claver sees several factors lining up for XRP. The first is a likely reduction in interest rates by the U.S. Federal Reserve. Traders are pricing in over a 96% probability of a 0.25% cut. Reduced rates tend to force more money into riskier assets such as crypto, and this could trigger a general rally.
He thinks a cut of that size could send Bitcoin price toward $150,000 and Ethereum near $10,000. If that happens, XRP price would almost certainly benefit too.
But the bigger spark could come from ETFs. Claver puts the odds of an XRP exchange-traded fund approval at about 90% and says it could happen as soon as next month. In his view, that alone could lift XRP to the $10–$13 range by year-end.

How XRP Price Could Go Even Higher
Claver doesn’t stop there. He believes XRP could climb to $20–$25 if a few more things fall into place. That would require not just ETF approval but also a fresh wave of institutional money, stronger retail interest, and growing global utility, especially in Southeast Asia, where XRP already has a strong base.
He points out that XRP price has a history of sudden, sharp moves once it picks up momentum. That track record makes him confident a powerful rally could come quickly once the right signals hit.

What Could Slow Things Down
Paul Barron, who hosted the talk, was more careful. He said markets like the S&P 500, gold, and silver are already at record highs and are pulling money away from crypto.
He agrees a Fed rate cut could help, but warned that the overall market might still slow things down. Claver added that broader monetary policy, such as reducing the M2 money supply, might also influence how fast crypto prices climb.
The conversation ended with a colorful line: investors are “in the lion’s den,” where “diamonds are made under pressure.” In short, XRP holders may need patience, but if Claver is right, they could be rewarded in a big way.
