Cryptocurrency market analyst Oscar Ramos (@realOscarRamos1) has delivered an optimistic forecast for XRP, suggesting that a single pivotal market event could substantially boost the wealth of token holders. His analysis follows XRP’s remarkable performance in late 2024, which saw the digital asset surge by nearly 300% after Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election on November 5.

After reaching a multi-year high of nearly $2.90 in early December, XRP has entered a consolidation phase, trading at $2.29 as of late December. Despite the correction, Ramos views this as a critical accumulation period, particularly as holiday trading activity slows.
Institutional Adoption and ETFs as Key Catalysts
Ramos attributes much of XRP’s future potential to the growing institutional presence in cryptocurrency markets. He cites MicroStrategy’s recent $561 million Bitcoin purchase as a prime example of increasing institutional confidence in digital assets, which could ripple across the sector to benefit XRP.
A particularly bullish catalyst Ramos identifies is the potential approval of an XRP Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF). Such a development would offer institutional and retail investors more accessible exposure to XRP, significantly boosting demand and price.
Ripple’s Stablecoin and Ecosystem Expansion
Ripple’s recent launch of RLUSD, a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, is another critical factor Ramos highlights. The stablecoin bolsters the utility of XRP by providing a seamless financial instrument for enterprise use cases. As RLUSD gains traction, it could attract both institutional and retail investors, amplifying XRP’s value in the broader market.
Market-Wide Optimism
The cryptocurrency market as a whole has been on an upward trajectory, with Bitcoin surpassing the $100,000 mark for the first time and the total market capitalization exceeding $3 trillion. Ramos projects that the market could reach $4 trillion in 2025, creating favorable conditions for XRP to hit new all-time highs.
While XRP’s current consolidation reflects seasonal trading patterns, Ramos sees this phase as laying the groundwork for explosive growth. With strong institutional backing, innovative ecosystem developments like RLUSD, and potential regulatory advancements, XRP remains a strong contender for significant price appreciation in the near future. Investors should keep a close watch as the cryptocurrency gears up for its next major move.
