XRP has witnessed a dramatic rise in trading volume, reaching a staggering $1.87 billion in the last 24 hours, a staggering 99.95% increase. This surge has ignited speculation of a potential price increase for the digital asset.
High Volume, Higher Hopes
While the current trading volume is impressive, AI platform Evai revealed an even higher peak of $2.15 billion on April 5th, marking a 41.93% jump from the previous day. Many analysts attribute this surge to Ripple’s strategic move into the stablecoin market.

Stablecoin Boost
The announcement of a Ripple-backed stablecoin launching on both the XRP Ledger (XRPL) and Ethereum blockchain triggered a temporary price increase for XRP, with the token briefly reaching $0.61. The massive potential of the stablecoin market, estimated at $150 billion and projected to reach a staggering $2.8 trillion by 2028, has fueled excitement for XRP and the XRPL.
Analyst Bullishness
Matthew Dixon, CEO of Evai, views this as a sign of growing interest in XRP, potentially translating into a significant price surge. He advises market participants to be prepared for potential surprises. Industry figures like Rob Cunningham echo this sentiment, predicting a surge to $12 on the back of the stablecoin initiative. While some find this target far-fetched, there’s a consensus on a price increase due to the stablecoin.

Realistic Targets
Cryptoinsightuk, another respected analyst, offers a more grounded target of $1.2 for XRP. This target appears achievable considering the smaller price jump required. Cryptoinsightuk’s analysis, based on technical data and XRP’s past performance, suggests this as a short-term target with the potential for further growth in the future.
Looking Ahead
The recent trading volume surge signifies renewed investor interest, and the possibility of a price increase is high. Ripple’s venture into stablecoins is a major driving force, with further announcements or developments in this area likely to significantly impact XRP’s price trajectory in the coming months.
