Inauguration of Donald Trump: Bitcoin declines, but XRP shows impressive growth
On January 20, 2025, Donald Trump officially took office as the 47th President of the United States. He did not make any cryptocurrency-related statements in his inaugural address, which increased market expectations regarding the administration’s future policy on digital assets.
The cryptocurrency market reacted with wild swings. Bitcoin (BTC), which peaked at $109,000 overnight, fell to $100,000 during the event. However, XRP continues to surprise, posting a 488% increase since Trump’s election, leaving most other cryptocurrencies behind.
XRP: Historical parallels and forecasts
According to analysts, the current dynamics of XRP are reminiscent of the market behavior in the first quarter of 2017, when the cryptocurrency experienced a huge rally of 2200% after Trump’s previous inauguration.
Although the scale of such a rally is considered unlikely, analysts predict further growth of XRP by 200-500% in the coming weeks and months if the bull market remains strong.
- Current price of XRP: $3.15
- Key support level: $1.96
- Forecasts for 2025: Possible achievement of double-digit prices
Analysts emphasize that if current momentum continues, XRP has the potential to reach new all-time highs.
Bitcoin volatility
Despite significant price fluctuations, experts believe that Bitcoin’s support level around $100,000 can serve as a base for recovery and further growth, especially in the context of global uncertainty and future regulatory decisions of the new US administration.
