XRP may see record prices in 2025 despite its recent slump, according to industry expert Edoardo Farina. The digital coin trades at $2.40 as of press time, marking a 3.5% drop in the last day, and leaving recent investors with heavy losses.
XRP Still Outperforms Major Cryptocurrencies In 2025
This year, Bitcoin has dropped 9% and Ethereum shed 35% of its value. However, XRP has done pretty well, rising 12% since January. This performance comes even as the broader crypto market faces significant pressure, with many investors questioning if the bull run has ended.
Farina, who serves as Head of Social Adoption at XRPHealthcare, remains confident about XRP’s future. “There is no way we’re not seeing higher prices in 2025,” he stated in a recent social media post. His optimism stands in stark contrast to the current market sentiment.
Multiple Factors Could Boost Altcoin’s Value
Based on Farina’s examination, a number of events could push the price of XRP higher in the months to come. Top among these is the pending evaluation of more than 15 XRP ETF proposals by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The investment products might unlock the gate for institutional funds to pour into the altcoin just like it has done with Bitcoin in 2024.
Facts. 🚀 Regulatory clarity, institutional adoption, and real-world utility are all aligning for XRP. $2.40 is just the beginning—2025 will be a game-changing year. Buckle up. 🔥

Future stablecoin regulation may also help the crypto asset indirectly. Although XRP itself is not a stablecoin, Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin would receive credibility from more transparent rules. XRP researcher SMQKE opines this would boost demand for XRP because fees on transactions paid in altcoin get “burned”, lessening supply.
Trump Administration Support May Provide Additional Momentum
According to reports, the administration of US President Donald Trump intends to give preference to US-based cryptocurrency firms such as Ripple. This possible government support might result in increased acceptance and usage of XRP, driving its price upwards.
Farina believes this support, combined with what he calls “institutional FOMO,” will create a rush of large investors entering the XRP market. These big money moves would drive substantial buying activity.
Supply Reduction Could Lead To Price Surge
The last part of Farina’s forecast says there could be a “supply shock” for XRP. As more institutions start using it and transaction fees keep getting burned, the number of available XRP tokens will go down. Basic economics tells us that if supply keeps going down while demand stays the same or goes up, prices could reach new all-time highs.
For investors who bought XRP within the last two months, this prediction offers a good dose of optimism after suffering a 20% loss in value. However, market observers note that crypto predictions should always be viewed cautiously, especially when coming from those with potential conflicts of interest.

They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that’s not just a metaphor, it’s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.
Christian’s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats – a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).
Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling – right up his alley!
So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he’s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill).
Think Christian’s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he’s not at his computer, you’ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.
Speaking of chill, Christian’s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin’ helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.
Here’s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day – and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.
Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors – and bosses – he deeply respects.
So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words – the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.
