Alex Cobb, a prominent and long-standing member of the XRP community, has projected a significant rise in the asset’s price, estimating it could reach $11.34 by the end of 2025. His analysis combines recent technical signals, regulatory progress, and institutional developments, which he believes are aligning to support a long-term bullish case for the cryptocurrency.
Technical Stability Signals Strength
Cobb’s price prediction is largely based on XRP’s price behavior over the past several months. He pointed to the asset’s sustained consolidation after reaching a high of $3.40, emphasizing that such a prolonged pattern following a breakout is indicative of strength, not weakness. While some analysts have forecasted a potential decline below the $1 mark, Cobb maintains that these concerns have not been validated by price movements.
XRP didn't come all this way, build a perfect previous high back test 27 week consolidation structure just to go back down to $0.60, would have happened by now with tariff fud if that was the case.
Regulations are finally here, FDIC + many other regulators giving the green light… pic.twitter.com/1e2erLNzn4

He specifically referenced market conditions in April, when geopolitical and tariff-related fears caused a broad sell-off in crypto markets. During that period, Bitcoin fell to $74,000, and U.S. stock markets lost trillions in value. Despite this, XRP only dropped to $1.61 and has since rebounded, currently trading above $2.47. Cobb sees this as evidence that XRP has already absorbed significant selling pressure and remains structurally intact.
Cobb also attributes his bullish outlook to the evolving regulatory stance on digital assets. He noted that major financial authorities, including the Federal Reserve and the FDIC, have begun loosening previous restrictions on how banks engage with cryptocurrencies. This shift, according to Cobb, opens the door for broader institutional participation and could contribute to sustained demand for XRP.
Political Recognition May Play a Role
Another element influencing his optimism is political attention directed toward XRP. In March 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly referenced XRP and mentioned its potential inclusion in a future national crypto reserve. He believes that this type of acknowledgment can help validate the asset on a national and global scale, potentially influencing investor sentiment and policy direction.
Ripple’s Expanding Ecosystem
Ripple has also taken steps that Cobb views as supportive of the token’s growth. One key development was Ripple’s $1.25 billion acquisition of prime broker Hidden Road, which is expected to shift its post-trade infrastructure onto the XRP Ledger. There are also indications that Ripple may be exploring a strategic partnership or acquisition involving Circle, a major issuer of stablecoins.

In addition to corporate moves, the XRP Ledger has experienced increased activity from decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, automated market makers (AMMs), and meme coin projects. Cobb believes these trends demonstrate growing utility for the network and may further enhance XRP’s role as a liquidity solution.
Cobb, who has held XRP since 2017, considers $11.34 a conservative estimate for the token’s potential over the next 18 months. He believes that this target could be exceeded if institutional interest increases and favorable market conditions persist.
Cobb’s projection reflects a combination of technical resilience, regulatory momentum, political interest, and strategic expansion within the XRP ecosystem. While the broader market remains cautious, he sees a strong foundation forming for XRP’s next significant price move.
