The post Ripple IPO Rumors Heat Up—Will XRP Surge Past $3? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

2025 has been a rollercoaster year for XRP. The crypto has delivered a modest 3.63% gain so far this year , with a 0.45% rise in the previous quarter and a 3.18% uptick this quarter . But analysts say the real action may be just around the corner.

Ripple IPO Could Trigger XRP Rally

According to John , founder of the Wealth Group trading community, Ripple’s long-rumored IPO could be the next big XRP price catalyst . While Ripple executives continue to deny any near-term IPO plans, several corporate actions suggest otherwise.

Ripple recently launched a $700 million share buyback at $175 per share , implying a $25 billion valuation . John believes a successful IPO would boost investor confidence in Ripple and, by extension, increase demand for XRP , which powers Ripple’s cross-border products.

“An IPO would bring traditional investors into the ecosystem and potentially send XRP soaring,” John stated.

XRP Price Forms Symmetrical Triangle – A Big Move Is Coming

Since hitting $3.4 in January 2025, XRP has been consolidating in a symmetrical triangle pattern . A sharp rise of 44.92% occurred in mid-January , but a quick sell-off followed, leading to a full retracement by early February.

Another short-lived rally occurred in March when former President Trump mentioned XRP as part of a government crypto reserve . The coin spiked 36.97% in just two days , but again saw a sharp correction.

The price touched a yearly low of $1.61 in April before beginning a slow recovery. Now, as XRP nears the apex of this triangle, analysts expect a breakout — with a potential target above $3 .

Ripple IPO Could Mirror Circle’s Explosive Debut

Many compare Ripple’s potential IPO to Circle’s blockbuster listing on the NYSE . On June 5, 2025, Circle (CRCL) surged 167% on debut , jumping from $31 to $82.84 per share. Its valuation soared from $7 billion to $25 billion .

This success has reignited speculation that Ripple might achieve even more — especially if it settles its ongoing lawsuit with the SEC , which is now reportedly close to resolution.

John Deaton once predicted Ripple could target a $100 billion IPO valuation after ending its legal battles.

Ripple Denies 2025 IPO Rumors, Focuses on Acquisitions

Despite mounting speculation, Ripple executives insist no IPO is planned for 2025 . President Monica Long said the company is well-capitalized , and CEO Brad Garlinghouse emphasized a focus on strategic acquisitions instead.

In recent moves:

• Ripple acquired Hidden Road for $1.25 billion
• Acquired Metaco in 2023 for digital asset custody

However, reports from late 2023 suggest Ripple began hiring for IPO-related roles , including investor relations — keeping the IPO buzz alive.
