In a recent interview with Altcoin Daily, George Tung, founder of CryptosRUs, shared his bullish outlook on XRP.
Tung predicts a potential rise to between $8 and $10 by the end of 2025. The veteran Bitcoin analyst cites XRP’s resilience across market cycles and strong fundamentals as major reasons behind his projection.
$8 to $10 XRP is a Conservative Estimate
During the conversation, George stated that a realistic target for XRP is in the $8 to $10 range, calling it a “conservative” estimate. As of today, XRP trades around $2.30, meaning a run to $10 would represent a potential 4x gain for current holders.
Discussing the factors that could make this outlook a reality in this cycle, Tung cited growing institutional interest in XRP. Specifically, he pointed to multiple XRP-focused exchange-traded fund (ETF) filings.
He believes that approval could significantly increase demand for XRP. In turn, more institutional capital seeking exposure to XRP would help drive its price higher.
XRP’s Track Record: “Survived Multiple Cycles”
Meanwhile, Altcoin Daily’s host, Aaron Arnold, emphasized XRP’s longevity and resilience, noting that it has weathered several crypto market cycles. Tung echoed this sentiment, suggesting that coins like XRP with a solid track record and strong fundamentals offer a safer entry point for new investors compared to chasing meme coins.
Tung also provided broader market context, suggesting that Bitcoin could still rise 1.5x to 2x from current levels. As for Ethereum, he sees a likelihood of 3x to 4x. In comparison, XRP’s potential for a 4x or 5x gain appears achievable, especially if broader market sentiment improves and liquidity flows back into altcoins, according to Tung.
Notably, he expects Bitcoin to peak between $200K and $300K in this cycle.
Interestingly, other analysts in the Bitcoin community also share his perspective on XRP. Most notably, Davinci Jeremie, famously known for saying XRP is going to zero, recently acknowledged the growing institutional interest in XRP and has since walked back his earlier skepticism. He now believes XRP could reach a peak of $24.
Don’t Chase 100x Gains Too Aggressively
When asked whether it’s realistic to turn $1,000 into $100,000 by the end of the year, George Tung cautioned against chasing such extreme returns without fully understanding the risks. According to him, aggressively aiming for 100x returns in a short time frame often leads to emotional decisions and costly mistakes.
Tung acknowledged that while meme coins like Pepe have delivered massive returns, the odds of repeating that success are now slim.
With thousands of new coins launching daily and only a few achieving long-term success, he emphasized the importance of timing and understanding the market landscape.
“You don’t have to go after the newest meme. Even the established ones can perform if the market improves,” he said.
For beginners, Tung advised allocating the majority of their funds to fundamentally strong projects, and only a small portion, perhaps 5% to 10%, to speculative plays like meme coins. He stressed the importance of patience and proper positioning over gambling for quick riches.
