XRP Price On The Brink Of Another Breakout: The ‘Game-Changing Implications’ Of Ripple’s RLUSD Mints
XRP has been on a significant upsurge in the past few weeks. Notably, the XRP price recently surged to $2.81, its highest market value since January 2018, marking a significant milestone in its price trajectory. Interestingly, the XRP price rally has seen it overperforming most cryptocurrencies and overtaking BNB, Solana, and Tether USDT in market cap ranking. As the XRP price momentum grows, another stimulant might be on the rise that would send it on a greater surge. Particularly, fresh speculation around Ripple’s use of its escrow reserves for RLUSD mints is drawing attention across the cryptosphere.
The RLUSD Minting Strategy And Ripple’s Escrow
Rumors are that Ripple, the payment technology company behind XRP, may be planning to use its escrowed XRP as the initial reserve for RLUSD minting. As the largest holder of XRP, Ripple currently has approximately 37.24 billion tokens in escrow, with a set portion of 1 billion XRP tokens unlocked every month.

Meanwhile, RLUSD is Ripple’s new dollar-backed stablecoin that is expected to launch soon, with regulatory approval from the New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) anticipated on December 4.
According to a crypto analyst on social media platform X, this dollar-backed stablecoin could provide Ripple with a mechanism to sell RLUSD to its On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) partners, offering a significant boost in working capital. This approach could deliver two transformative outcomes for Ripple and the broader XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem: a substantial liquidity injection and a controlled reduction in XRP’s total supply. Furthermore, it would provide utility for the locked XRP tokens in Ripple’s possession.
Game-Changing Implications For The XRP Price And XRPL
With RLUSD, Ripple would be entering a stablecoin market dominated by heavyweights like USDT and USDC. However, given its longstanding history with the crypto industry, Ripple might be in a good position to compete with other stablecoins.
If RLUSD becomes widely adopted, there will be an indirect demand for XRP, which will increase its utility. More demand for XRP in this context could positively affect its price. Additionally, the process of minting RLUSD might involve effectively locking up XRP tokens if used as escrows, resulting in a reduced circulating supply and further supporting price growth.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.74 and is currently up by about 12% and 90% in the past 24 hours and seven days, respectively. The rally follows intense whale accumulation, with wallets holding between 1 million and 10 million XRP collectively amassing over 679.1 million tokens in three weeks, according to data from on-chain analytics company Santiment.
Interestingly, this accumulation is currently valued at an approximate $1.66 billion. Such an accumulation trend could continue to push the XRP price on a positive path, with the next target being a break above $3 and a subsequent break into a new all-time high above $3.40.

Dogecoin Price To Pull An XRP Rally From Here? The Trading Similarities Are Striking
Crypto analyst Jacob Canfield has raised the possibility of the Dogecoin price replicating the recent XRP rally. This came as the analyst highlighted similarities between Dogecoin’s recent price action and XRP’s.
Dogecoin Price To Replicate XRP Rally?
In an X post, Jacob Canfield suggested that the Dogecoin price could soon replicate the recent XRP rally. He stated that Dogecoin was trading similarly to XRP in the lower time frames. DOGE is holding former resistances as support and trading in a “pretty straightforward” way.
Based on this, the Dogecoin price could pull an XRP rally and witness massive gains like the one that XRP has recorded in the last couple of weeks. It is worth mentioning that Dogecoin witnessed a similar rally last month. Earlier in November, DOGE recorded a parabolic rally, which led to a gain of 161% in that month.
Since then, the Dogecoin price has consolidated around the $0.4 range, although it looks well-primed for another leg to the upside. Canfield’s accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin’s next leg up could take it above the $0.48 level. Meanwhile, he highlighted the $0.55 and $0.66 price levels as ones to watch out for, as that is where the 1.618 and 2.618 Fibonacci levels are, respectively.
DOGE On The Verge Of A Major Move
Crypto analyst Master Kenobi recently stated that the Dogecoin price was on the verge of a major move, further suggesting that the meme coin could soon replicate XRP’s rally. Master Kenobi predicted a major move as he analyzed Dogecoin’s recent price action in relation to the previous cycle.
The crypto analyst noted that in the previous cycle, it took 25 days of consolidation before a significant breakout occurred. If history repeats itself, he believes that the Dogecoin price is on the verge of a major move, as it has also consolidated for a similar period since its early November rally.
Master Kenobi said that the Dogecoin price is already on day 21 of this consolidation, meaning that the pump to the next level could happen in the next three to four days. The crypto analyst didn’t give specific targets for this next leg up. However, his accompanying chart showed that Dogecoin could finally hit the $1 milestone and even rally further to $2.9.
This $2.9 target could mark the top for the Dogecoin price in this market cycle, as Master Kenobi had previously predicted that the foremost meme coin would top at around $3. He also mentioned that any target beyond $5 in this market cycle is unrealistic.
At the time of writing, the Dogecoin price is trading at around $0.42, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Will XRP Price Reach $10 Despite Forbes Calling It A “Zombie” Token?
Crypto analysts like Dark Defender have predicted that the XRP price could still rally to double digits in this market cycle. XRP is currently showing signs of life after Forbes suggested it was a ‘Zombie’ coin earlier in the year.
XRP Price To Reach $10 Despite Forbes Backlash
Crypto analyst Dark Defender has predicted that the XRP price can reach $10 in this market cycle. In fact, based on his Elliot Wave theory analysis, the crypto could rally to as high as $18 sometime next year.
XRP is currently enjoying a bullish momentum, having rallied over 200% since last month. Thanks to this parabolic rally, the coin is up over 290% year-to-date (YTD) despite witnessing a slow start to the year, which led to criticism from platforms like Forbes.
With this bullish momentum, a recent CoinGape market analysis raised the possibility of the XRP price reaching its current all-time high (ATH) of $3.8 as early as this week. Meanwhile, while reaffirming his $18 prediction, Dark Defender provided insights into what to expect from the crypto moving forward.
The crypto analyst stated that $1.8815 and $2.1322 are critical supports for XRP. He added that XRP could range between $2.13 and $2.92 for a few days. If the crypto is able to hold this range, Dark Defender predicts that it could then rally to the new mid-target level of $3.9993.
The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that the next target for the XRP price after it rallies to $3.9 would be $5.5. The rally to these mid-targets is expected to happen sometime this month before the rally to the $18 target begins next year.
A Bounce From $2.19 Will Strengthen Bullish Continuation
In an X post, crypto analyst Egarg Crypto provided an XRP price analysis, in which he stated that a bounce from the $2.1970 level would lead to higher highs and strengthen the bullish continuation.
Meanwhile, the analyst suggested that a break below this level could cause the XRP price to drop to as low as $1.6300. However, the analyst suggested that XRP will still rally to double digits. Before now, the crypto analyst predicted that the crypto could rally to as high as $27.
Amid these predictions, XRP has received a major boost as Donald Trump has nominated Paul Atkins as the next US SEC Chair. Known for his pro0crypto stance, Atkins could drop crypto-related lawsuits like the one against Ripple when he assumes office.

XRP Price Reaches Legendary 4.236 Fibonacci Level Once Again, Is A Rally To $9 Possible From Here?
The XRP price has been on a roll, with a gain of around 90% in the last seven days, providing a bullish outlook for the crypto. This bullish momentum might just be getting started as XRP is nearing the legendary 4.236 Fibonacci level, suggesting that a rally to $9 is possible.
XRP Price Approaches 4.236 Fib Level With A Rally To $9 Possible
In a TradingView post, Crypto analyst Lane McMurtrey revealed that the XRP price is near the 4.236 Fibonacci level and predicted that the crypto could top at $9.4 following this development. The crypto analyst further explained why this level is critical when watching out for market tops for the crypto.
According to the crypto analyst, in Fibonacci-based technical analysis, the 4.236 extension often represents a psychological and mathematical exhaustion for bullish moves. Lane McMurtrey stated that historically, when an asset hits this level, it leads to major profit-taking and exponential volatility. It also marks the beginning of a market reversal.
For the XRP price, the crypto analyst noted that this level is calculated based on its market cap, not just the price. McMurtrey remarked that the market cap hitting 4.236 is often the ultimate signal of euphoria and the time to prepare an exit strategy. He predicted that the top could be around $9.4, providing market participants with insights into what levels they should start securing profits.
The XRP price has significantly surged in the last couple of weeks and flipped USDT to become the third-largest crypto market cap. XRP is up over 300% year-to-date (YTD), but McMurtrey’s analysis shows that the crypto still has much more room to rally to the upside since he predicts that XRP will top at around $9.
Price Could Still Go Much Higher
Crypto analysts like Dark Defender and Behdrak have predicted that the XRP price could go much higher and reach double digits. Dark Defender predicts that XRP will rally to $18 sometime next year. Meanwhile, Behdark predicts that the crypto could reach as high as $28 based on his Elliot Wave theory analysis.
In a recent X post, Dark Defender provided an update on his $18 XRP price prediction. He stated that $2.1322 and $1.8815 are the next critical support levels to watch out for as XRP reached $2.9202, which happens to be a Fib level. The crypto analyst expects the crypto to range between $2.92 and $2.13 in the short term before another rally to the mid-target level of $3.9993.
At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.62, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.
