Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse confirmed having a significant dinner meeting with former President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago. This engagement is seen as a promising beginning to 2025, particularly after Ripple’s successful legal challenge against the SEC, which left XRP in a more favorable regulatory position, fueling Optimism for the cryptocurrency’s future.

Crypto analysts are forecasting a noteworthy increase in XRP’s price with some expecting a surge to 3 USD. Simultaneously, Ripple is pushing forward with the development of its RLUSD stablecoin and forming strategic partnerships aimed at enhancing DeFi solutions. Such advancements are expected to strengthen Ripple’s market presence significantly in the coming year.
