- Standard Chartered considers an XRP course of $ 12.50 to be possible in 2028 and justifies this with the new legal certainty and increasing benefit as a bridge currency.
- Despite short -term break -ins and caution of the ETFs, the trust of the institutions remains strong in the long -term growth of XRP.
In the middle of broader losses on the cryptom market that through the Customs orgia of the United States under President Trump was triggered, XRP is gaining importance in world trade, followed by the British Bank Standard Chartered. You expect the XRP course to increase by more than 500% compared to the current status and reach $ 12.50 in 2028.
The prediction is based on the fact that the XRP status is now determined without any doubt, and XRP users and investors no longer have to expect new nasty surprises from the United States-then it is not about that. Despite the short-term price pressure and the hesitation of investors after the introduction of a new XRP-bound ETFs, market observers observe the long-term dynamics with optimism.
The forecast comes from Geoffrey Kendrick, head of the Digital Asset Research at Standard Chartered. According to the bank, XRP could complete the year 2025 at $ 5.50 and gradually increase to $ 8 in 2026, $ 10.40 in 2027 and $ 12.50 in 2028. These forecasts are based on the assumption that the regulatory risks continue to decrease and that the benefits of XRP will increase over time.

Kendrick also says that one day XRP can surpass Ethereum in the overall market capitalization. This new rhetoric of the bank shows institutional trust that has so far rarely been clearly expressed.
Legal clarity and institutional interest ensure optimism
The most important milestone was the decision of the US stock exchange supervision SEC to withdraw your calling in the Ripple Labs case. As CNF reports, this legal overhang has been a problem for the asset for some time. This has made the process easier because it eliminates the confusion and uncertainties in the laws that apply to the investing institutions.
However, the practical applicability of XRP has improved because it is integrated to a larger extent to cross -border payments.
ETF introduction increasingly momentum
In the meantime, the first stock market -traded fund was introduced to XRP in the USA and caused different reactions. The ETF does not have XRP in its possession, but can follow the coin on swaps. Although the message was positive and XRP brought an upswing at institutional institutions, Ripple’s course fell by about 4 %after the announcement.
Analysts suspect that investors are waiting for clearer signs of growth before they get back into the market in large numbers. Nevertheless, the introduction of the stock market traded fund is seen as a development that could arouse a broader interest over time.
Even if XRP falls together with other old coins in the middle of macroeconomic uncertainty and new tariffs, the long -term prospects remain intact. There was a decline of up to 20 % With the most important tokens like Ethereum, BNB and Solana. XRP is currently trading around $ 1.90 and thus forms a basis that can be used for further flights of height if the forecasts of the institutions apply.
