Ripple’s XRP Ledger Integration Could Boost Market Cap by $64 Billion in Japan

In 2025, every bank in Japan is set to adopt Ripple’s XRP
Ledger, signaling a major shift in financial technology. Announced by SBI CEO
Yoshitaka Kitao, the integration with the Interledger Protocol (ILP) aims to
streamline cross-border payments and simplify currency conversions.

This announcement comes as XRPUSD has been trading within a
Descending Triangle pattern on the daily chart, following a strong bullish
movement.

XRP Integration in Japan’s Banking Sector

The XRP Ledger is viewed as a cost-effective and efficient
tool for international remittances, potentially modernizing global banking
systems.

The integration of XRP into Japan’s $6.372 trillion banking
sector could influence its market performance. A 1% adoption rate might
increase XRP’s market capitalization by $63.72 billion, raising its price to
$3.50. A 10% adoption rate could drive its price up to $13.48. These
projections highlight the potential impact of XRP’s broader adoption.

XRPUSD Trading Within Descending Triangle

After a bullish move, XRPUSD has been undergoing
corrections. The daily chart shows it trading within a Descending Triangle
pattern, with the $2 horizontal level acting as support. Buyers may look to go
long again if there is a bullish breakout above the triangle’s resistance.

XRP Price Predictions for 2025

Analysts anticipated XRP to trade between $1.91 and $2.50
for December 2024. However, the immediate concern is defending current support
levels to stabilize market sentiment.

For January 2025, XRP
is projected to fluctuate between $1.35 and $2.12. Estimates for February
suggest a slight variation, with prices ranging from $1.30 to $2.50, as
reported by Finance Magnates.

Looking ahead to the end of 2025, if institutional adoption
increases, analysts predict XRP could potentially reach $5 or more, indicating
stronger market confidence and demand.

Egrag, a well-known analyst with 70,000 followers on X
(formerly Twitter), offers a more optimistic forecast, suggesting XRP could
rise to $50, though such projections remain speculative.
