XRP Price Hits 7-Year High: Will the Rally Continue?

Vijay Gir16 Jan 20252 min read

XRP is spreading excitement in the market with its price movement. This month alone, its price skyrocketed by 50%, smashing through a seven-year high above $3. If that isn’t impressive enough, the cryptocurrency has surged 240% over the past quarter. It’s now the third-largest crypto, outranking Tether with a staggering $176.75 billion market cap.

What’s driving this explosive growth, and could this momentum last?

The Fastest Rally Since 2018

XRP’s current rally is the fastest it has seen since January 2018, a time many crypto enthusiasts remember as the peak of the altcoin era. The 14-month Relative Strength Index (RSI) has hit 84.80, its highest since December 2017, when it reached 94.57.

Normally, an RSI above 70 suggests an asset is “overbought,” which could signal a price correction. However, in strong bull markets like the one XRP is in, these high readings don’t always mean a pullback is coming. In fact, prices can keep rising even when the RSI stays high.

Market Trends and XRP’s Rising Popularity

XRP’s price surge is supported by a dramatic increase in trading activity. Spot trading volumes have jumped 84.72%, reaching $22.85 billion in just 24 hours. Derivatives trading has more than doubled to $34 billion, and perpetual futures open interest has hit a record-breaking 2.34 billion XRP. The healthy funding rate of 13% suggests the market is enthusiastic but not overheating.

But it’s not just the numbers driving XRP’s rally. Ripple’s new stablecoin, RLUSD, and growing speculation about a potential spot XRP ETF are adding fuel to the fire. Partnerships supporting XRP adoption are also creating a buzz.

Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s rise past $100,000, helped by optimism over slowing U.S. inflation, is boosting the overall crypto market. Ripple effects (pun intended) are benefiting other altcoins like XRP and XLM.

XRP’s Future: Could the Growth Continue?

XRP’s reclaiming of the third spot in the cryptocurrency rankings, surpassing even BlackRock in market cap, suggests a shift in market sentiment. With strong funding rates and key developments underway, XRP has the potential to keep growing.
