XRP has just climbed to the third spot in the global crypto rankings, sitting behind Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a market cap of $164.29 billion. Meanwhile, popular analyst Alex Cobb has made a bold prediction saying XRP could hit an astonishing $22.54 by December 2025, sending shockwaves across the cryptocurrency community.
What makes him so confident that XRP can reach this level?
In his recent post, Cobb used humor to send a serious message. He shared a meme showing XRP skeptics regretting their decision as the coin rises above $22.54. It was a playful way to say something clear: don’t ignore XRP’s potential.
If XRP reaches that price, it would mean an enormous 8X jump, or about 767% gain from where it is now. Such a rise could push XRP’s market value to around $1.32 trillion, possibly placing it ahead of Ethereum as the second-largest crypto.
Ripple’s native token has a history of surprising those who doubted it. Between November 2024 and January 2025, XRP surged by 7X, forcing well-known critics to rethink their positions. Even Davinci Jeremie, a die-hard Bitcoin fan, admitted XRP could climb past $20, acknowledging the community’s strong push and Ripple’s progress.
Whales buying more XRP
Recently, XRP whales have accumulated an enormous amount of XRP. Right now, 2,743 wallets each hold over 1 million XRP, the highest number ever. These wallets now control nearly half of all XRP in circulation. Meanwhile, this massive buying wave comes as XRP hit $2.80 after a strong 10% daily jump. The price spike also forced $31 million in short positions to close, catching bearish traders off guard.
