- XRP surpassed $3.00 for the first time in seven years, reaching a new high of $3.65 in July 2025.
- The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) closed its lawsuit against Ripple, clearing a major obstacle for the company.
- Multiple spot XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are awaiting approval, with a pro-crypto SEC chair increasing approval prospects.
- Analysts note that institutional investment may increase if an ETF is approved, similar to trends seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- Ripple is expected to see greater adoption by U.S. banks, following legislative changes and rising interest in digital assets.
XRP, the cryptocurrency linked to Ripple, reached a price above $3.00 early in 2025, a milestone not seen since 2018. On July 18, XRP set a new all-time high at $3.65. The SEC ended its legal battle with Ripple this month, removing legal risks for the company’s token.
The closure of the lawsuit strengthened investor confidence. In previous years, XRP’s price growth lagged behind other cryptocurrencies due to the unresolved case. In 2021, many crypto assets hit all-time highs while XRP struggled, as investors avoided buying an asset under legal scrutiny.
Several spot XRP ETFs are now pending with the SEC. The securities regulator is currently led by Paul Atkins, a noted pro-crypto candidate. There is a high chance that Atkins will approve one or more pending XRP ETF applications, according to the article. If approved, institutional investors may start buying XRP, similar to what happened when Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs went live.
Institutional investment has played a key role in crypto price surges during 2025. A large inflow of institutional money could support XRP’s push toward higher valuations. The article notes that ETF approval is likely under the new leadership.
Additionally, the Genius Stablecoin Act may encourage more U.S. banks to adopt Ripple’s technology. Ripple has already experienced strong uptake in Japan, and similar growth could occur in other markets, including the United States.
If these trends continue, XRP has the potential to reach a $1 trillion market capitalization, according to analysts referenced in the article. The developments mentioned could set the stage for future growth as Ripple sees expanded use and increased investment.
