Ripple’s XRP token is one of the highlights of the year. The asset struggled to generate steam over the last few years, but turned things around in 2025. XRP breached the $3 mark for the first time in seven years earlier this year. XRP then went on to hit a new all-time high of $3.65 in July. If things continue to go in Ripple’s way, XRP’s market cap could surge to the $250 billion mark by the end of the year. Let’s discuss further.

Will XRP’s Valuation Hit $250 Billion by the End of 2025?

There are about 59.6 billion XRP tokens in circulation right now. If XRP’s market cap hits $250 billion, the price of each token will hit $4.19. XRP’s price has to rally by about 39% to hit the $4.19 mark. This price rally is easily attainable by XRP if it maintains its bullish trajectory. Moreover, hitting $4.19 from XRP’s previous peak of $3.65 will need a rally of about 14.79%.

There is a very high chance that XRP will breach the $4 mark sometime in 2025. Ripple has officially ended its lawsuit with the SEC. The move led to a substantial spike in investor confidence. The confusion around XRP’s legal status is finally clear. Moreover, the SEC is now helmed by a pro-crypto candidate, Paul Atkins. Atkins has said that he will work tirelessly to promote the crypto landscape in the US. Ripple may not see any further disturbances from the financial watchdog in the next few years.

There are also several XRP ETFs awaiting approval at the SEC. Given the SEC’s pro-crypto stance, we may see at least one XRP ETF sometime this year. An ETF approval will likely lead to a surge in institutional inflows for the project. Such a development could lead to XRP even hitting the $5 mark.
