Crypto payment giant MoonPay has sparked excitement across the XRP community after announcing a daring giveaway tied to XRP’s price breakout.
The company tweeted that if XRP hits a new all-time high (ATH) by December 31, 2025, it will reward one follower with $2,025 worth of XRP.
The post went viral, stirring discussion about whether 2025 could still mark the year XRP breaks the 2018 ATH of $3.84.
XRP is currently trading at $2.15, down 4.5% over the past 24 hours and 11% for the week. The asset peaked at $3.66 in July 2025 before retracing, entering a consolidation phase that has frustrated many holders but energized long-term forecasts.
Community Reacts to MoonPay’s “New ATH” Challenge
Many commenters view the giveaway as a fun marketing tactic and a reminder of the community’s conviction. X user Kaivon said the “XRP gang would be eating good” if it happens. He noted that hitting a new all-time high by December 2025 would be remarkable, coupled with one lucky follower winning $2k worth of XRP for free.
Another member, Star Spangled Seabee, said they hope XRP really hits a new peak this year. Others joked, like one user who asked to “push to Q1 2026,” suggesting they’re confident XRP will eventually hit a new ATH—just maybe not before the 2025 deadline.
Why Many Believe XRP Could Hit a New ATH in 2025
While XRP’s price remains far below its cycle peak, many analysts argue that its fundamentals have never been stronger.
The Ripple-SEC case, a major source of uncertainty for years, officially ended in August. This removed a major regulatory cloud and opened the path for institutional participation.
Additionally, Ripple has announced over $2.5 billion in acquisitions this year, including cross-border payment integrations and prime brokerage services. These deals continue to position XRP as key infrastructure for real-time value movement.
Meanwhile, XRP spot ETFs are now entering the market following increasing regulatory clarity. Analysts expect ETF inflows to boost liquidity and attract new classes of institutional investors.
Bullish Cycle Predictions for XRP
While XRP’s price remains below expectations in 2025, some analysts insist XRP can crack a new peak before the year ends.
For instance, XForceGlobal still expects $15–$30 before the cycle ends. EGRAG sees historical compression patterns pointing to $6–$10 and possibly $37.
Zach Rector argues that telling holders XRP cannot reach $100 this year feels like “telling kids Santa isn’t real.”
Collectively, these developments have created a narrative that 2025 may still be when XRP finally clears the long-standing $3.84 barrier.
Ultimately, if XRP does clear its ATH by December 31, 2025, one MoonPay follower will be $2,025 richer, and the XRP community will have one more reason to celebrate.
