XRP is once again in the spotlight as crypto analyst Dark Defender delivers a bullish prediction for the altcoin, stating that it could soon dominate Bitcoin and Ethereum. The analyst cites key developments and technical indicators that support XRP’s potential rise to new all-time highs.
Why XRP Could Surpass Bitcoin & Ethereum
In a recent X post, Dark Defender emphasized that XRP is the “One” due to its regulatory clarity. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP has been officially declared not a security by Judge Analisa Torres, and the SEC has dropped its lawsuit against Ripple. This regulatory clarity provides a strong foundation for institutional adoption.

People will fully accept that $XRP is the "One".

CBDCs are incoming.
It was not BTC; it has never been ETH.
Additionally, the analyst pointed to the possibility of XRP being included in the Digital Asset stockpile created by former U.S. President Donald Trump’s executive order. Furthermore, speculation is growing around an XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), with market expert Nate Geraci stating that approval is only a matter of time. According to Polymarket data, there is an 87% probability of an ETF approval this year, which could drive significant investment into XRP.
Another bullish catalyst is Ripple’s stablecoin initiative, with new stablecoins pegged to multiple fiat currencies, including the RLUSD. Dark Defender argues that XRP’s ecosystem is expanding rapidly, setting it apart from Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Technical Indicators Point to an XRP Rally
Dark Defender also highlighted a bullish rectangle pattern forming on XRP’s chart. He predicts that this consolidation phase will soon end, leading to a breakout toward $11.
Bearish Concerns: Could XRP Drop First?
Despite the bullish projections, veteran trader Peter Brandt warns that XRP could drop to $1.07 before any significant rally. He noted that the altcoin is forming a classic head-and-shoulders pattern, a bearish technical signal.
However, crypto analyst Javon Marks remains optimistic, suggesting XRP could witness a 570% surge as its price and Relative Strength Index (RSI) breakout.
