XRP Could Hit $8 on RLUSD and Pro-Crypto Leads

• XRP Price Surge Towards $8
• Trump favors pro-crypto regulation
• RLUSD Expands Ripple Solutions

XRP has consolidated above US$3 and has been gaining attention in the cryptocurrency market. Experts estimate that the asset may surpass US$8 before ending the current cycle, based on technical analyses that observe an ascending channel and positive volumes. The creation of RLUSD, a stablecoin pegged to the dollar, also shows Ripple's commitment to expanding solutions connected to the crypto ecosystem.

The expectation of more open-minded leaders in the United States, with Donald Trump taking office and appointing pro-crypto profiles to strategic positions, reinforces the possibility of regulatory advances. Observers believe that a lawsuit settlement with the SEC could boost the market value of XRP, which remains one of the largest cryptocurrencies in terms of capitalization.

At the time of publication, the price of XRP was quoted at $3,16 with a drop of 1.5% in the last 24 hours.

In a recent debate, host Rob Nelson commented, “If you’re behind XRP right now, you may have missed the window.” In response, analyst Armando Pantoja said, “A lot of the growth is gone, but it’s not the end. XRP is still likely to reach $8, maybe even higher.” This view is based on the upcoming Bitcoin halving, which tends to drive the entire sector higher, as well as the resurgence of institutional interest.

Meanwhile, PlutoChain emerges as a proposal to improve the performance of old blockchains. With block times of just 2 seconds, the platform can benefit various applications by bringing greater speed and reduced costs. Other on-chain projects, monitored by tools such as santiment, monitor the movement of large wallets, suggesting significant capital inflows and possible strengthening of the XRP price.

For those following this movement, support above US$3 is considered crucial, as a break in the US$3,20 range could confirm the upward trajectory towards US$8. The defense of these support regions, together with optimistic indicators in the long-term analysis, fuels the debate around an even greater appreciation, with some analysts projecting levels beyond US$30 in broader scenarios.
