The cryptocurrency market has struggled with increased volatility this year, as prices have stalled amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. However, the asset class is still poised to benefit from favorable regulation on the horizon. Among the assets that could benefit the most is Ripple, which ended the week up 12% and XRP could be bound for $4 in 2025.

Early in the year, all eyes were on the potential for XRP to be the next crypto-based ETF in the United States. That is one of the many reasons why the token may be one of the big winners before the year ends. Indeed, it may be set to reach a new all-time high in the coming months.

Ripple Ends Week Above $2.40 as XRP Could Be Set for New All-Time High

For the last several years, Ripple and the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have been engaged in a brutal legal battle. For many, that was a big reason why XRPs price potential had stagnated. That came to an end in 2025 with the arrival of US President Trump and a new agency head.

Although Friday saw the asset fall more than 6%, Ripple ended the week up 12% with all eyes on XRP reaching $4 before the year is through. Moreover, that could be coming sooner rather than later, according to one expert.

At week’s end, XRP had jumped 12.37% to stand firm at $2.40, according to CoinMarketCap. That increased the overall price performance of the asset. Specifically, it reversed a 2% drop over the last 30 days and set it on course for $3.

However, that won’t be where its price performance ends. Cryptocurrency price prediction platform CoinCodex forecasts XRP to reach a March high of $3.15. That isn’t all; they project the asset to reach a high of $4.31 in April. Up 76% from its current position, it would represent a new all-time high for the asset.
