Ripple’s XRP Market Cap Breakthrough Marks “Real Turning Point” in Path to $10 XRP Price

Key Points

1. XRP's price reached a new peak of $3.66, pushing its market capitalization past $210 billion for the first time, with daily trading volume more than doubling to $22 billion.

2. The Apex 2025 event highlighted XRP Ledger's evolution, showcasing new asset types like treasury tokens and stablecoins, with Ripple's president calling it a 'real turning point'.

3. Recent U.S. regulatory developments, including the passage of crypto-related bills (GENIUS and CLARITY), have bolstered institutional confidence in XRP and its use cases like tokenized securities.

4. On-chain data indicates caution, as over 70% of XRP's realized value was accumulated near recent highs, a pattern seen before in 2017 and 2021, suggesting potential profit-taking risks.

5. Speculation around a potential U.S. spot XRP ETF, following the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, is fueling optimism, though short-term retracement may occur if new capital inflows slow.
