According to reports, Triblu founder Joshua Dalton has outlined a scenario in which XRP could be adopted as part of a US strategic crypto reserve, potentially creating millionaires, billionaires, or even trillionaires among existing holders. Using US national debt estimates of about $38 trillion and Ripple’s escrow balance of roughly 34.4 billion XRP, he argues an XRP price near $883 would be needed to cover around 80% of that debt, far above the current level near $1.91. The idea faces major legal, policy, and market hurdles, and analysts highlight that government reserves, market liquidity, and regulatory clarity would strongly influence any such outcome.

CryptoDnes reports that Bitcoin Hyper's presale has raised $29.7 million and is about $300,000 from the $30 million threshold in December 2025.

On December 22, 2025, YoungHoon Kim shared a view that XRP could approach $1,000 over the next decade, contingent on large-scale accumulation, a weaker dollar, and elevated inflation. His X account has more than 388,000 followers, and he argued the scenario is numerically plausible despite skepticism that such a move would imply a market cap bigger than gold. XRP was around $1.87, with 2025 losses near 20%, as bears maintained control.

ZCash has defended the $400 area and gained 8.4% over 24 hours, with a move above $476 seen as a signal that the uptrend could extend toward $600 and $750. Despite this, momentum indicators have softened and buying pressure remains uneven. On lower timeframes, $450 is capping price, while $416–$434 is viewed as demand and a drop below $404 would invalidate the setup.

Infinex reduced its INX token sale target from $15 million to $5 million and lowered the fully diluted valuation to $99.99 million.

On Thursday, December 25, CryptoQuant reported a 24-hour decline in XRP exchange reserves, while Binance's balance stood at 2,669,500,000 XRP. U.Today said XRP ETFs drew over $11 million in single-day inflows, signaling firm institutional interest even as price action remains unstable.

XRP remains locked in a downward price channel, trading below key moving averages even as roughly one million XRP shifted across the network in the last 24 hours. On-chain activity and active address counts have risen, hinting at accumulation despite the asset's struggle to reclaim resistance near the mid-$2 area. Technical signals such as a neutral-leaning RSI and repeated holds at local lows suggest selling pressure may be easing while the market waits for a decisive breakout.

Layer-1 assets saw sharp drawdowns in 2025, with Solana down 35.9% and Avalanche falling more than 67%, according to OAK Research's end-of-year report.
