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.

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.
