Ripple (XRP) Predicted to Touch $1.75 Before Any Meaningful Upside, But This Crypto Could Rescue Your Portfolio

XRP’s outlook is turning cautious. Over the next few weeks, several analysts expect XRP to consolidate just below $2.00, likely retreating toward the $1.75–$1.84 zone before it sees any meaningful upside. Institutional banks, such as Standard Chartered, anticipate XRP hovering around $1.75 through 2025, with breakthroughs unlikely until 2027 or beyond, meaning true profit potential is still several years away (Binance report). Sure, long-term bulls talk about XRP reaching $3 to $5 or more—if major regulatory wins or Ripple-sponsored ETFs come into play. But that’s speculative and subject to legal delays, and right now, XRP’s 2025 upside could be measured in single-digit or low double-digit percentages—not the explosive gains many investors crave.
