A powerful new analysis from popular X market commentator STEPH IS CRYPTO has spotlighted what he calls the “final wave” for XRP — the stage where millionaires are made. His chart, shared on X, compares XRP’s explosive 2017–2018 rally to its ongoing 2024–2025 advance and suggests the digital asset could be gearing up for a far larger parabolic surge.
Back in late 2017, XRP stunned the market by soaring from under $0.30 to a peak of $3.84 in January 2018. The move cemented XRP’s reputation as one of crypto’s most volatile and rewarding assets. But it also carried a warning: the surge was followed by a devastating retracement, erasing most of the gains within months.
STEPH IS CRYPTO’s chart highlights this historic pattern as a template for the present cycle. Just as XRP consolidated for years before its 2017 breakout, the 2024 structure shows a similar tightening of price action within the moving average ribbons, hinting at another sharp upward thrust. The message is unmistakable: history could be repeating itself — only on a much larger scale.

The 2024–2025 “Final Wave” Projection
The most striking feature of STEPH IS CRYPTO’s analysis is the projection for this cycle’s peak. The chart’s rectangle marking the 2024–2025 rally extends into the $35–$40 range per XRP, nearly ten times higher than the all-time high recorded in 2018. Careful measurement of the chart confirms this range, aligning with the scale on the price axis.
This is why the analyst labels it the “final wave” — a parabolic stage where concentrated wealth is created in a short span of time. Long-term holders who have endured years of sideways action could find themselves in a position for life-changing returns if this scenario unfolds.
Why the Setup Matters Now
As of report time, XRP trades between $3.09, consolidating after its powerful surge earlier in the year. The broader crypto market, led by Bitcoin’s strength near record highs, has provided a favorable backdrop for altcoins.

Meanwhile, XRP benefits from renewed institutional demand, Ripple’s global partnerships, and the adoption of its RLUSD stablecoin across payment corridors — all of which bolster its real-world use case.
This combination of technical setup and strengthening fundamentals mirrors the conditions that fueled past parabolic advances. Analysts argue that liquidity, leverage, and speculative momentum are aligning again, increasing the likelihood of a blowoff rally similar to 2017 but on a far greater scale.
Balancing Opportunity and Risk
While the upside potential is extraordinary, the risks cannot be ignored. Parabolic rallies are notoriously unforgiving, often followed by steep corrections that erase gains quickly. For traders and investors, the “millionaire wave” described by STEPH IS CRYPTO offers a historic opportunity — but it demands discipline, risk management, and a clear exit strategy.
In essence, the chart projects a scenario where XRP could eclipse its legendary 2017 rally and validate the claim: this is where millionaires are made.
