XRP Set for Recovery as Crypto Market Braces for Federal Reserve’s Next Move

• Tom Lee forecasts Bitcoin could reach $150,000 if the Fed announces it has controlled inflation effectively.
• Recent approvals of crypto ETFs enhance access for investors, channeling more institutional capital into the market.

Analysts anticipate an increase in the cryptocurrency market linked to a possible shift in the U.S. Federal Reserve’s inflation policy. According to a Forbes report, this change might stimulate a considerable rise in the prices of prominent digital assets like Bitcoin and XRP.

Tom Lee, managing partner at Fundstrat Global Advisors, suggests that if the Federal Reserve announces successful control over inflation, it could trigger a substantial return of capital to the market. He estimates that Bitcoin could potentially reach a price of $150,000, more than doubling its current value of approximately $71,000.

This projection is partly based on recent data showing a slowdown in the U.S. consumer price index, which increased by 0.3% in April, a decrease from 0.4% in March. This data indicates that the Federal Reserve’s rate hikes may be effective in reducing inflation.

The optimism surrounding cryptocurrencies is further bolstered by the approval of several crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) since January.

XRP, currently the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, has faced challenges in recovering its highest value following a prolonged legal confrontation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. 

However, analysts believe that if the broader cryptocurrency market experiences the forecasted surge, XRP could benefit. There is speculation that XRP’s price could exceed $1 and possibly rise further if Bitcoin reaches the $150,000 mark.

XRP has been relatively subdued, but the potential market surge could drastically change its position. With the regulatory issues with the SEC largely addressed, XRP might soon experience a major resurgence and potentially regain its position as one of the top-performing assets in the market. This anticipated market boom could redefine the financial trajectory for XRP and other cryptocurrencies.

Ripple XRP is currently at $0.53078 USD, down 1.14% recently. In the last week, its value increased by 5.93%, but it is down 14.59% in the last six months. Its market capitalization is $29.32 billion USD, and its all-time high was $3.31700 USD. 

With a circulating supply of 55.29 billion XRP, it is anticipated that the price of XRP could rise to $0.56 USD in the near term if it overcomes key resistances. Some analysts anticipate a significant breakout similar to Bitcoin, with possible $2 to $3 levels in the long term. However, this prediction does not constitute financial advice.
