Ripple Price Stabilises After Crash: What Now?
amsterdam, maandag, 13 oktober 2025.
After a significant crash below $2.40, the Ripple (XRP) price has stabilised. The partnership with European payment network SIA offers new opportunities and could strengthen market confidence. Historical data shows that October is a strong month for XRP, with 8 out of the 13 October months since the introduction of XRP being extremely bullish. Experts predict a possible rally to over $5.00 by the end of 2025.
Recent Developments
The Ripple (XRP) price has recently stabilised after a significant crash below $2.40. This crash occurred last Wednesday, when the price lost more than 55% of its value within hours, dropping to a low of $1.25, the lowest level since November 2024 [3]. The immediate trigger for the price drop was an unexpected import tariff of 100% on Chinese products imposed by Donald Trump [3]. Globally, over $19 billion worth of leveraged positions were liquidated, with $16.7 billion coming from long trades [3].
EU Partnership Strengthens Fundamental Value
Despite the recent crash, Ripple has a new partnership with the European payment network SIA, which offers new opportunities and could strengthen market confidence. This collaboration integrates XRP directly into the European financial system, giving the altcoin access to millions of business users [1]. SIA processes billions in transactions daily, and the integration of XRP into this network enhances the fundamental value of XRP as a bridging currency for international payments [1].
Historical Trends and Technical Indicators
Historical data shows that October is a strong month for XRP, with 8 out of the 13 October months since the introduction of XRP being extremely bullish [1]. Expert EGRAG CRYPTO notes: “#XRP – The History of the 2nd Week of October: Since the inception of #XRP, we’ve seen 13 Octobers, with 8 of them being super bullish and 4 more bearish” [1]. Technical indicators suggest that the current recovery to $2.45 fits within the normal price pattern of XRP [1].
Predictions and Scenarios
ChatGPT predicts three scenarios for the XRP price: bullish (rally), neutral, and bearish (crash). In the bullish scenario, it is predicted that XRP could rise to over $5.00 by the end of 2025 (+150%) [2]. The bearish scenario predicts a decline of XRP to between $2.20 and $1.80 [2]. ChatGPT uses market and sentiment analyses for these cryptocurrency price predictions [2].
Impact of Regulation and ETF Decisions
The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) must soon decide on the approval of XRP ETF products, with deadlines between 18 and 25 October 2025 [2]. Ripple Labs may soon receive a banking license, which could promote the inflow of institutional funds [2]. These regulations could have a crucial impact on the XRP price in the coming months [2].
Concrete Implementation Plan
The partnership between Ripple and the European Union was announced on 8 October 2025, with the aim of improving cross-border payments and promoting blockchain technology [7]. The partnership is expected to be implemented concretely within three months of the announcement, i.e., before 8 January 2026 [7]. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, emphasises: “This partnership with the EU is a crucial step for the future of Ripple and the blockchain industry” [7].
Analysts’ Perspective
Analysts predict that Ripple (XRP) is on its way to $6, with current support at $2.72, which has been tested multiple times in the past few weeks [5]. Expert Jan Jansen notes: “The EU partnership offers new opportunities for Ripple and can strengthen market confidence” [5]. Predictions suggest that the price of XRP could reach €1.50 by the end of the year [5].
