$5 Trillion a Day? XRP-SWIFT Speculation Fuels Mega Bullish Ripple Price Predictions

The XRP token has been in a downtrend since it went above $3 in January 2025. However, this has not disappointed the community, as many enthusiasts still believe in this token’s potential. As such, we have bullish XRP price predictions every day and are witnessing hype and excitement build in anticipation of the next rally. It is worth mentioning that although Ripple has been showing more potential, new bullish XRP news stories come out every day. For example, an  XRP SWIFT deal enables XRP to reach a multi-trillion-dollar sector of cross-border payments.

Can XRP Really Reach a $1,000 Valuation?

Another XRP quality that has helped to keep the community sentiment bullish is the recent stability and persistence. XRP’s price has remained mostly above $2 since it surged nearly 400% in November 2024. Even during the most volatile weeks of global trade uncertainty and turmoil, XRP price quickly recovered its losses, climbing above $2 again. As such, many community members now believe that XRP will be the biggest cryptocurrency in the future. This is because we now see some interesting XRP price predictions that even project an over $1,000 valuation. 

Will XRP Price Surge to $1,200 in 2025?

One such example, which has ignited discussions about the possibility of these predictions, is a new $1,200 XRP price prediction. An XRP enthusiast named Remi Relief presented this prediction and boldly claimed that this XRP price surge will be in 2025. He supported this bullish price projection by referring to the rumors of an upcoming XRP SWIFT partnership. Based on his argument, XRP handling and benefiting from a small percentage of SWIFT transactions is enough to reach this target. This proclamation is likely because the SWIFT network processes trillions of transactions per day. 

The SWIFT payment processing network handles almost $5 trillion of transactions every 24 hours. This, in turn, creates a $1.25 quadrillion yearly cash flow, making this sector highly profitable for any payment processor. As such, based on the Relief’s projection, XRP does not even need exchange-traded funds, derivatives, or tokenization to reach this goal. He assessed that a small part of SWIFT’s market and transactions is more than necessary for XRP to reach $1,200. Alex Caraco, a market analyst, points out that the probability of a 56,238% surge is very low, making this surge nearly impossible. 

Is XRP Gearing Up for Its Next Bullish Move?

A surge above $1,000 does not seem to be a realistic short-term target and probably can not be supported. However, based on the technical indicators, we can see a probable smaller bump in the XRP value. As of writing this, the XRP price is consolidating around $2.06 and is showing a 1.57% daily decrease. Despite this, the short-term projection of the XRP price seems to be bullish. 

Chart 1 – XRP/USD Daily Chart, published on TradingView, April 18, 2025.

Based on Chart 1, the RSI and ADX have started to slowly rise again. The RSI currently shows a 47 score, which is a neutral zone. However, we can see that the RSI line is creating a bullish crossover with the RSI Moving Average. This, combined with the rising ADX, shows an upcoming bullish movement with rising trend strength. 

Is Now the Right Time to Bet on XRP’s Growth?

Whether the XRP value rises to $1,000 is mostly unpredictable; however, as we saw, XRP shows potential for short-term growth. Moreover, as the community’s eagerness shows, any positive XRP news could trigger a significant XRP price surge. With all that said, investors should always follow the latest news, as market sentiment can reverse quickly.
