Ash Crypto, a market commentator with more than 1.9 million followers, has released fresh price targets for leading crypto assets, including XRP.
Specifically, his outlook ties the performance to Bitcoin’s potential run toward $200,000 by the end of 2025. The prediction comes as the market gradually enters another bullish phase after several weeks of sideways movement.
Bitcoin as the Market Driver
Ash Crypto’s forecast centers on Bitcoin setting the pace for the next phase of the bull market. At the time of writing, Bitcoin is at $112,678, up 0.71% in the past 24 hours. It briefly touched $113,200 today before settling slightly lower.
Notably, Bitcoin dropped to lows around $107,000 a week ago—the lowest point since establishing a peak in August.
Now, the leading crypto is making a gradual comeback, and bold predictions are resurfacing. Ash suggests BTC could end the year with peak prices between $150,000 and $200,000. Notably, this also aligns with the views of Michael Saylor.
This prediction suggests an upside of up to 77% from Bitcoin’s current level. Remarkably, a $200,000 price would give Bitcoin a valuation of around $4 trillion and set the stage for altcoins to follow.
XRP Outlook for 2025
Meanwhile, Ash’s prediction suggests XRP could even outperform Bitcoin’s movement. According to his estimates, XRP could rise to between $5 and $8 by year-end.
With XRP trading at $3.01 today, up 2.3% in the last 24 hours, this forecast implies a 65%–165% gain over the next four months.
Moreover, XRP has consistently shown its ability to outpace Bitcoin’s momentum. During the November–December 2024 bull run, while Bitcoin saw just over a 30% increase, XRP’s price surged by more than 400%.
Ash Crypto’s $5–$8 target places him among the more conservative voices, compared to analysts like Mario Nawfal, who recently predicted a $10 XRP if Bitcoin hits $225K, or Rekt Fencer, who projected $8.50–$9.
While this projection is more cautious than the double-digit calls by ultra-bullish analysts, it still marks a significant milestone as XRP approaches the $10 psychological threshold.
Notably, XRP ETFs, which will hold real XRP, are set to go live next month. Many believe this additional factor could increase demand for the coin, potentially driving its price higher. For instance, analyst Zach Rector has given a base price range of $20 to $30 for XRP over the next 15 months.
Ethereum, Solana, and Other Assets
Beyond XRP, Ash Crypto expects Ethereum to trade between $7,500 and $12,000. ETH is currently at $4,352, just below its all-time high of $4,950 reached last month.
He projects Solana to climb into the $400–$500 range, while BNB could hit $1,500–$2,000.
As for meme favorite Dogecoin, the analyst sees it reaching $1–$2, historic price points that have long been anticipated in the crypto market. As of today, DOGE is at $0.244, up 16% over the past day.
Other crypto assets that made the list include SUI, DOT, TON, WLFI, and ONDO. Among these, WLFI is the newest entrant, having debuted on the trading scene just nine days ago. While it hasn’t seen spectacular price action since launch, Ash sees potential for it to approach $1 this year.
