Pro-XRP lawyer Bill Morgan recently shared an intriguing prediction on social media platform X, suggesting that XRP and Hedera (HBAR) will outperform heavyweights like Bitcoin, Solana, and Ethereum in 2025. This bold forecast comes after Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP, enjoyed a strong rally this year, particularly following Donald Trump’s election win. Morgan’s comments have added fuel to the ongoing market discussions surrounding the future of Bitcoin and altcoins, particularly amid recent volatile trading conditions.
Morgan’s prediction is gaining traction, especially as it contrasts with the views of other crypto analysts. Notably, analyst CryptoJelleNL has forecasted that 2025 will bring a bull market, with Bitcoin potentially reaching $150,000 and Ethereum pushing into five figures. Additionally, Jelle predicts that Solana could hit $500. However, Morgan disagreed with this outlook, stating, “HBAR and XRP enter price discovery and outperform those ones you mentioned.” His optimism is fueled by Ripple’s increasing legal clarity, particularly the anticipation of a potential dismissal of the ongoing XRP lawsuit. Moreover, the pro-crypto stance of Donald Trump, who has pledged to make the U.S. the “crypto capital,” has contributed to growing enthusiasm surrounding cryptocurrencies issued by U.S. firms like Ripple and Hedera.
XRP and HBAR: A Promising Outlook for 2025
As of today, XRP’s price has seen a slight recovery, holding steady around $2.08, with its 24-hour trading volume rising by 31% to $6.22 billion. This uptick has been interpreted by many experts as a sign of positive market sentiment, with some predicting a potential XRP rally to $11. Additionally, the possibility of an XRP ETF approval in 2025 is further fueling optimism.
On the other hand, HBAR has experienced a minor dip of 2.5%, falling to $0.2711 amid broader market downturns. Despite this, its one-day trading volume surged by 30%, reaching $708.26 million, and the Hedera Futures Open Interest fell by 5%. Furthermore, a Bloomberg ETF expert has suggested that a Hedera ETF could launch before Solana and XRP ETFs, which has further bolstered market optimism.

Recent partnerships, such as Hedera’s collaboration with Chainlink to innovate within the DeFi space and real-world asset tokenization, have also contributed to the growing sentiment. As 2025 approaches, both XRP and HBAR are positioning themselves for what many anticipate will be a significant market rally.
