XRP Rockets Past 3-Year Slump—You Won’t Believe What’s Fueling the Comeback! 🚀

by

Well, dash my wig and call me Aunt Agatha, if Ripple Labs’ favourite offspring, XRP, hasn’t only gone and put an end to its relentless three-year rendezvous with disaster. Yes, after tiptoeing around red Aprils since the days when banana bread was trendy, the proverbial light has finally blinked green. Hopeful bulls everywhere are dusting off their top hats and practicing their celebratory Charleston.

XRP Picks Up Steam

If you listen closely on the street, you’ll hear the dulcet tones of crypto enthusiasts bellowing “XRP to the moon!”—and for once, they might not be full of beans. Recent numbers from those jolly statisticians at CryptoRank reveal April’s breakout: an honest-to-goodness upward swerve, after three years resembling a runaway piano down a flight of stairs.

Specifically: April 2025 has handed XRP a prim and proper 9.03% gain. To put it delicately, that’s a far cry from previous Aprils: 2022, 2023, and 2024 saw losses of 27.8%, 12.4%, and 20.8%, respectively—figures that would make even Wodehouse’s Uncle Tom reach for the nearest restorative beverage.

Still, nobody with a head screwed on straight is terribly surprised. XRP’s been known to rack up a delicious 25.1% gain (on average!) each April over the past dozen years. By the standards of crypto, that’s practically blue blood territory.

What’s behind the ticker tape parade? Well, besides the usual bluster, we’ve got whispers of an XRP ETF, the infamous Ripple versus SEC punch-up finally reaching intermission, a grand acquisition of Hidden Road, and the ever-glamorous hint of an IPO. The sort of thing that makes a respectable coin puff out its metaphorical chest.

Let’s not forget: Grayscale Investments, Bitwise, Canary Capital, and WisdomTree have all scrambled to file their XRP ETF paperwork with the US SEC. And, dear reader, the Polymarket bookies peg ETF approval at a whopping 81% by the close of 2025. (If only horse-racing tips paid out as handsomely.)

Regulators, not wishing to be left out, have given nods in the form of 19b-4 filings and whatnot—the equivalent of a polite tip of the hat at the federal level. This, naturally, fans the flames of price optimism. Who could resist?

The curtain has also fallen on Ripple’s epic legal duel with the SEC, a melodrama so protracted it would make even Bertie Wooster ask for the cliff notes. Now, with legitimacy finally bestowed, XRP can focus on the important task of galloping forward.

Ripple’s RLUSD—the new stablecoin du jour—is also hobnobbing in the spotlight. Combined volume has soared past $124 billion (presumably enough to buy a small European nation), with current market cap skipping merrily past $317 million. Trading volume? Why, up to $39 million. Even Jeeves would raise an eyebrow.

XRP Price Analysis

CoinMarketCap’s ever-watchful plotters note: XRP currently loiters at $2.28%, down only 1% over the past 24 hours. If that’s a disaster, I’m the Queen of Sheba. The past week and month? Up 7.1% and 6.5%, respectively—just the sorts of figures one might show off at the club. Granted, trading volume has taken a 37% nosedive to $2.9 billion, but when you’re on a winning streak, who’s counting?

Technical wizards tell us XRP has dramatically smashed its way out of an enduring descending channel, now jostling above the 50, 100, and 200-day EMAs in the manner of a determined aunt elbowing her way to the buffet. Should this raucous spirit continue, the $2.50-$3 region isn’t a pipe dream but an imminent soirée invite.

And if you listen to the true believers, they’re peering at April’s gains and declaring this month “bullish”—no doubt hoping to ride the merry roundabout for as long as the band keeps playing. 🐂🕺
