There were few cryptocurrencies that entered 2025 with as much hype as Ripple. The company’s ongoing legal troubles were expected to be a thing of the past. However, it has since struggled with a market downturn that has seen a host of assets’ values plummet. Still, Ripple rebounded 4% to end the week; so is there still hope XRP can target $4?

The asset was largely expected to set a new $4 all-time high before 2025 came to a close. Yet, the state of the market has placed that expectation in jeopardy, with both the crypto and stock markets struggling. All hope is certainly not lost, as many experts are projecting a bullish market cycle to be nearing.
