An Opportunity or a FOMO Trap?
While Bitcoin (BTC) nearly broke the barrier of $114.000 broke through and XRP firmly at $2,51 stands, the recent price drop seems like just a footnote in a bullish chapter. Yet it is striking how many investors are getting in just now, when the dip a few weeks back - when BTC was still trading below $95,000 and XRP was hovering around $1.70 - was an excellent entry opportunity.
The psychological pressure of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is growing. New entrants rush toward exchanges, often without a strategy, driven by fear of falling out of the profits. But those who got in earlier and weathered the volatility are now sitting on serious returns.
📊 Expectations for 2025
Experts set a target for BTC of $136,000 to even $150,000, depending on macroeconomic factors and institutional inflows through spot ETFs. For XRP, forecasts are divided: conservative models point to $3.40 to $5, while radical estimates are aiming for $10 to $15, especially with wider adoption of Ripple technology.
🔍 XRP vs. BTC: Global Trading
XRP is gaining ground as a solution for international payments. With transaction fees of $0.0002 and a speed of 3 seconds per transaction, it beats BTC which costs up to $10 fees and 10+ minutes of processing time has. XRP's low-energy consensus model and compatibility with ISO 20022 make it attractive to banks and institutions.
🌐 SWIFT & Ripple: The Big Change
SWIFT processes $5 trillion in global payments. If XRP even 10% of this volume can facilitate through Ripple's On-Demand Liquidity (ODL), a potential market volume of $500 billion. This could enable XRP to move toward $100 to $1,000 per token - depending on availability, adoption and supply.
