XRP’s trajectory in 2025 stands apart from earlier cycles in several key ways. Unlike the rapid surges throughout its history, when volatility fueled retail speculation and short-term leverage, this uptrend has been more measured. Steph Is Crypto (@Steph_iscrypto), a prominent market analyst on X, recently shared a video in which he described the current environment as “the healthiest XRP bull market ever.” He pointed out that leverage has dropped since 2024 with lower highs and argued that this indicates a lack of significant retail-driven speculation. In his view, the continued price appreciation, with XRP marking higher highs over the same period, points to institutional participation as the key factor behind the asset’s momentum. It shows a reduction in speculative trading activity, and this institutional interest has created an environment that supports sustained bullish momentum. Institutions Are ALL IN on #XRP pic.twitter.com/qbnHEWJtfA — STEPH IS CRYPTO (@Steph_iscrypto) August 27, 2025 What to Expect from XRP The distinction Steph draws highlights an important development for XRP. Previous bull cycles often relied heavily on retail enthusiasm and trading activity, which produced rapid expansions in leverage but also swift corrections . By contrast, the present cycle shows evidence of deeper market support. The reduction in leverage activity suggests that the price floor is being maintained without excessive reliance on short-term traders. This has implications for the stability of XRP’s upward trajectory, as institutions generally operate with longer-term horizons and larger capital allocations compared to retail investors. XRP’s 2025 Performance So Far Throughout the year, XRP has continued to post higher highs, reinforcing the case for stronger structural support behind the rally. Most prominent of these was the asset’s climb to an all-time high of $3.65 in July, and the consistent rise since 2024 aligns with the points made by Steph, showing that institutional buying has potentially been a sustaining force.

For many observers, this differentiates the current market from earlier bull phases and shows the influence of various forces in shaping XRP’s valuation. Broader Implications If institutional demand is indeed the core driver, the long-term implications extend beyond just 2025. Institutional buyers typically look for assets with clear utility, regulatory clarity, and liquidity. XRP’s role in cross-border settlements and its positioning within broader financial infrastructure debates align with those criteria, offering a possible explanation for why capital from these players is flowing into the asset at this stage. This would also mean that price action is being reinforced by fundamental drivers rather than speculative cycles alone.
