Bitcoin has surged nearly 40% over the past six months, while Ripple's XRP has experienced an astonishing 300% increase

March 28th, 2025 – ( CC News Alert ) As Donald Trump returned to the White House, spurring significant price shifts in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, including XRP, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse issued a bold prediction regarding a potential trillion-dollar market opportunity.
Over the past six months, Bitcoin has soared nearly 40%, while Ripple’s XRP has experienced an astonishing 300% increase, despite the emergence of a mystery threat targeting crypto traders. Garlinghouse urged traders to “buckle up,” signalling that Ripple is ready to “unlock the U.S. market,” which he believes presents a “massive opportunity.”
In a recent interview with Fox Business, Garlinghouse further elaborated on the vast potential of cross-border payments, stating, “Trillions of dollars are flowing globally and are still dominated by Swift.” He highlighted that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has posed a significant hurdle, but now, with the resolution of Ripple’s four-year legal battle, the company is poised for optimal growth.
Ripple’s legal issues arose in late 2020 when the SEC accused the firm of conducting an unregistered securities offering, totalling $1.3 billion. In 2023, Ripple achieved a partial victory when a federal judge ruled that XRP was not a security when sold to retail investors but was classified as such when sold to institutions. The SEC’s recent decision to withdraw its lawsuit has further boosted Ripple’s prospects.
Garlinghouse expressed relief over the outcome, noting the lengthy legal process and the associated costs, but emphasised that it now allows Ripple to pursue its ambitions in the U.S. market.
Despite XRP’s recent price fluctuations—rising 16% to $2.60 before falling 8% to $2.38—analysts remain optimistic about its future. However, they point out that a lack of official confirmation from the SEC and the influence of derivative markets may be contributing to price stability, limiting the likelihood of an immediate significant increase.
As XRP navigates its legal landscape, other altcoins, such as Minotaurus (MTAUR), are gaining traction without similar uncertainties, suggesting a shifting dynamic within the cryptocurrency market.
