Trillion-Dollar Tide: Can XRP Ride the Crypto Wave to Global Dominance?

Ripple’s XRP skyrockets amid legal victories and Trump’s pro-crypto stance, as CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicts a trillion-dollar market shift.

Editorial Team (ET)July 27, 2025

The cryptocurrency market is in the midst of a seismic shift. Bitcoin has soared nearly 40% over the past six months, but it’s Ripple’s XRP that has dominated headlines with an astonishing 300% surge. At the center of this surge stands Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse, who has issued a bold trillion-dollar prediction, positioning Ripple as a leader in the rapidly evolving digital asset space.

As traders and investors watch the crypto market ride a wave of momentum following Donald Trump’s return to the White House, the stakes have never been higher. With the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) stepping back from its prolonged legal battle with Ripple, Garlinghouse believes the floodgates are about to open, unlocking an unprecedented opportunity.

Ripple’s Legal Battle: A Turning Point

For years, Ripple has been locked in a legal standoff with the SEC, accused of raising $1.3 billion through unregistered securities offerings. The case, which began in 2020, cast a long shadow over Ripple and its native token, XRP. However, a landmark ruling in 2023 provided a glimmer of hope when a federal judge determined that XRP was not a security when sold to retail investors.

The SEC’s decision to withdraw its appeal marks a critical turning point for Ripple. Garlinghouse, in an interview with Fox Business, described the moment as a game-changer, allowing Ripple to finally push forward with its goal of revolutionizing cross-border payments. The opportunity, he claims, is "massive," with trillions of dollars flowing globally in transactions still dominated by traditional banking systems like Swift.

The Trump Effect and a U.S. Crypto Reserve

Ripple’s momentum is further fueled by what is being called the "Trump Effect." The former president, who has taken a pro-crypto stance since his return, has directly named XRP as one of the cryptocurrencies to be included in a U.S.-focused crypto stockpile. This unprecedented move signals a shift in government sentiment toward digital assets, contrasting sharply with the Biden administration’s regulatory crackdown on crypto firms.

Trump’s executive order calling for a national crypto reserve is being hailed as a historic step forward for the industry. By positioning XRP alongside major cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL) and Cardano (ADA), the administration aims to bolster the U.S. digital asset market and reinforce its position on the global financial stage.

XRP ETF on the Horizon?

One of the most significant developments surrounding XRP is the increasing likelihood of an exchange-traded fund (ETF). With Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs now fully operational, the stage is set for the SEC to approve an XRP ETF. Analysts predict that if approved, XRP ETFs could see inflows of up to $8 billion in the coming months.

Market experts believe that the removal of legal uncertainty surrounding Ripple significantly strengthens the case for an XRP ETF. The potential listing of such a fund would provide institutional investors with a regulated and accessible way to gain exposure to XRP, further driving adoption and market growth.

A Future Beyond Swift

Ripple’s vision extends far beyond the speculative trading of digital assets. The company’s primary objective is to challenge Swift, the decades-old global messaging network that facilitates cross-border transactions for banks. With Ripple’s blockchain-based solutions, transactions can be completed in seconds rather than days, reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

Garlinghouse has emphasized that this transformation is not just theoretical—it is already happening. Major financial institutions are beginning to integrate Ripple’s technology, recognizing its potential to disrupt the outdated financial infrastructure that has long dominated global commerce.

The Road Ahead

With legal obstacles largely behind it and political winds shifting in its favor, Ripple is entering what could be the most transformative period in its history. The combination of a Trump-backed crypto reserve, potential ETF approvals, and its mission to reshape cross-border payments places XRP in a unique position to capitalize on the next wave of financial innovation.

Traders and investors are watching closely as the market braces for what could be a defining moment in the crypto industry. As Garlinghouse himself put it, “Buckle up.” The future of XRP, and perhaps the entire cryptocurrency sector, is set for an explosive ride.
