Like a volcano ready to roar, XRP seems on the verge of exploding. With its recent successes, including the legal victory against the SEC and the introduction of the stablecoin RLUSD, Ripple has captured the attention of investors. But the real issue lies in its potential to overthrow Ethereum. With a gap of 83.4% to reach the capitalization of its rival, XRP asserts itself as the outsider who could shake up the crypto ecosystem.

Ripple: a crypto that is shaking up altcoins

With a current Ripple price of $2.37, XRP has become the menacing shadow of Ethereum. According to the data, its price would only need to reach $4.36 to surpass Ethereum’s capitalization, currently at $436.3 billion.

In comparison, XRP is still far away with 136.3 billionbut its meteoric progress of almost 500 % These last few months have changed the situation.

Here are some salient points:

  • Ethereum dominates at $3,621.87 per token, but XRP remains competitive;
  • Ripple’s victory against the SEC strengthens investor confidence;
  • Bitcoin, still untouchable, has a capitalization of 1.94 trillion dollars.

As analyst Egrag Crypto summarizes:

« Linear regression band dynamics confirm an imminent rise, with targets ranging from $6.4 to $27.5 by 2025. »

A statement that resonates with Ripple’s ambitions in a booming market.

Can XRP dethrone Ethereum?

The scenario where XRP would outperform Ethereum is based on favorable conditions. Growing investor interest and regulatory progress in the United States are working in its favor.

A potential XRP ETF could also propel crypto to new heights.

Egrag Crypto highlights impressive targetssuch as $8.5 for a breakthrough beyond linear regression, and up to $27 for an explosive cycle.

These projections are based on a key tool: linear regression, capable of identifying reversals and major market trends. This approach identifies in particular:

  • Upper bands : Overbought zones where corrections are possible;
  • Lower bands : Indices of bullish reversals;
  • Historical average : Prices tend to return to their average level when they move too far away from it.

All of this remains dependent on positive market dynamics and increasing adoption of Ripple technologies, particularly in cross-border payments.

At the same time, speculation about leadership change at the SEC revive optimism. If regulators take a more open stance towards cryptos, XRP could be the centerpiece of this revolution.

Finally, analysts point to 5 key signals to justify optimism: long-term investor accumulation, buying pressure, technological advances, and the crucial role of the SEC. Ripple has never been closer to its goal.
