Popular crypto investor Austin Hilton released a video predicting the XRP price could reach $15 by May 2025. He also provided updates on a new altcoin, MEMEX, currently in presale.
XRP Price Forecast and Market Analysis
Austin Hilton predicts that crypto markets will pick up in early 2025, with Bitcoin potentially hitting $150,000 by March. He notes that when Bitcoin rises, it often lifts other cryptocurrencies, including XRP. Hilton also discussed the Ripple vs. SEC lawsuit, suggesting the new SEC commissioner could provide Ripple with the legal clarity needed to progress.
Why XRP Might Reach $15: Factors and Challenges
Hilton suggests that reaching a $15 price would require substantial market cap growth and investment, likely from institutional investors. He points out that possible political changes, especially support for Ripple’s technology under Trump’s leadership, could drive XRP adoption in the U.S. However, he considers a more realistic timeline is late 2025 after the market matures and Ripple resolves its legal issues.
Meme Coins Outperform XRP in This Bull Market
Despite XRP's impressive 400% surge in November, several new meme coins like PNUT, FARTCOIN, and PENGU have shown even stronger performance. Hilton shared updated views on MEMEX, which offers a novel index system for meme coins and has already raised nearly $2 million in days.
While Hilton sees a $15 target for XRP as possible by 2025, he emphasizes the importance of favorable market conditions and events to achieve it. Meanwhile, the interest in new meme coin MEMEX highlights ongoing market opportunities.
