XRP has emerged as a standout performer in the cryptocurrency space, achieving an impressive 235% gain in 2024. However, its journey into 2025 has shown a more restrained growth, with only an 8.9% increase in the first half. To hit the ambitious target of $5 per token, XRP needs to more than double from current levels. Investors are keenly awaiting market developments to see if XRP can sustain its momentum. The second half of 2025 may hold critical events that could drive Ripple’s price higher. Monitoring market conditions is crucial for potential investors.
