XRP Eyes 35% Surge as Ripple CEO Pushes ‘Internet of Value’ Vision

XRP may be gearing up for a 35% price breakout as technical indicators align with new bullish momentum from Ripple’s expanding institutional strategy.

The token traded around $2.60 on Saturday after rebounding from a key support level, supported by renewed confidence from CEO Brad Garlinghouse.

XRP Holds Key Support Zone

XRP has maintained a strong base at the lower trendline of its long-term ascending triangle — a technical pattern that has historically preceded major rallies.

Earlier in 2025, similar rebounds from this support zone led to price jumps of 70–80%.

The token has climbed more than 8% from its recent low, aligning with the 50-week exponential moving average (EMA) of $2.33.

If momentum holds, XRP could rise toward the triangle’s upper boundary near $3.45 by December — a 35% upside from current levels.

However, a breakdown below support could push the token back toward June lows near $1.65.

Ripple Prime Adds Institutional Strength

Ripple strengthened its market position on Friday by acquiring Hidden Road and rebranding it as Ripple Prime, positioning the firm as the first crypto company to operate a global, multi-asset prime brokerage.

The company said: “Ripple’s foundational digital asset infrastructure across payments, crypto custody and stablecoin, as well as the use of XRP, will complement the services offered within Ripple Prime.”

CEO Brad Garlinghouse called the move “another step toward building an Internet of Value,” adding that “XRP sits at the center of everything Ripple does.”

Market Reaction and Analyst Expectations

Analysts view Ripple Prime as a major step in XRP’s institutional adoption story.

Trader Credibull Crypto said Ripple’s massive XRP holdings give it a strong incentive to drive the token’s success, since higher valuations directly benefit the company’s balance sheet.

Ripple also announced plans to buy $1 billion worth of XRP to create a new treasury fund, which will trade on Nasdaq under the “XRPN” ticker.

Another analyst, Zeiierman Trading, said XRP could surpass $3 in the short term due to the Hidden Road acquisition, noting that “the token is now positioned at the center of institutional adoption.”

With strong technical support and a growing institutional push, XRP could continue its upward trajectory as Ripple expands its global footprint.
