Ripple's legal triumph over the SEC leads to a significant 208% surge in XRP futures, as the digital currency's price soars higher.
Following Ripple's legal victory against the US SEC, XRP experienced a significant price surge and heightened futures activity, leading to bullish market sentiment and optimistic price predictions for the remainder of 2025.
XRP hit a yearly peak of approximately $3.66 in mid-July 2025, rising around 65% over two weeks to breach the $3 psychological level and establish it as support. Despite a short-term pullback with about an 8% decline in early August due to profit-taking after this rally, trading volumes remained high, indicating sustained institutional interest and momentum.
Market analysts and experts have projected strong bullish targets based on this momentum and growing adoption. A price range between $6 and $8 by August 2025 is considered very likely according to XPMarket’s Head of Marketing, implying a potential doubling or more from current levels if momentum persists. More conservative forecasts expect XRP to trade between $3.04 and $3.49 in mid-August, with potential to reach $4 to $5.50 by year-end 2025, supported by regulatory clarity and expanding real-world adoption, especially in Asia-Pacific and Latin America.
Whale accumulation—over 900 million XRP moved into wallets worth roughly $2.88 billion within 48 hours—further fuels speculation of a renewed rally and possible new all-time highs.
Technically, XRP currently trades around $3.20 to $3.30, with a bullish setup supported by EMA20/EMA50 signals, triangle breakout patterns, and positive on-chain inflows. However, some indicators hint at short-term momentum slowing and possible minor corrections.
The surge in XRP futures activity has seen the 24-hour trading volume increase by 208%, according to Glassnode, reaching $12.48 billion. The open interest in XRP futures increased by 22%, according to Glassnode, and 17%, according to Coinglass, reaching $8.94 billion. XRP's price gained over 11% from $2.99 to $3.38. XRP futures options volume rose 92.6% to $1.97 billion, according to Coinglass.
The next price moves could depend on how leveraged traders respond to market shifts. With high leverage in XRP futures potentially amplifying volatility during price corrections, it's crucial to monitor market dynamics closely.
In summary, the legal victory and surge in futures activity have positioned XRP strongly, with analysts largely bullish on its prospects, expecting continued upward price trends and potentially XRP reaching $6–$8 or higher by late summer or end of 2025, contingent on sustained institutional interest and broader adoption.
NSE (National Stock Exchange) traders may find opportunities in XRP's financial future, given the potential for strong bullish trends and the likelihood of XRP reaching prices between $6 and $8 by August 2025, as forecasted by XPMarket’s Head of Marketing. Moreover, some analysts predict even higher prices, potentially doubling the current levels, based on the sustained institutional interest and expanding real-world adoption of XRP.
