XRP Price Today, November 25, 2025: ETF Boom and Market Rebound Push Ripple’s Token Firmly Above $2

Published: November 25, 2025

XRP price today: trading firmly in the $2.20 zone

XRP is trading solidly above the psychologically important $2.00 level today, with most major data providers showing prices in the $2.17–$2.24 range through Tuesday afternoon. YCharts records XRP at $2.224 for November 25, up 8.76% from yesterday’s $2.045 close and about 55% higher than a year ago. ^[1]

On Coinbase, XRP is changing hands around $2.21, with a 24‑hour gain of roughly 6%, a market capitalization near $133 billion, and daily trading volume above $6.3 billion. XRP’s circulating supply is about 60 billion tokens, putting its fully diluted valuation around $220 billion and making it one of the top four cryptoassets by market cap and popularity on the exchange. ^[2]

Market-wide data from Crypto.news shows XRP up around 8% to roughly $2.24 in the last day, helping lift total crypto market capitalization by about 2.4% to $3.1 trillion as major coins bounce from recent lows. ^[3]

Depending on the source and exact snapshot time, XRP is therefore best described today as:

Price range: ~$2.17–$2.24
24h move: +6–9%
Market cap: ≈$130–$135 billion
Performance vs 2024: roughly 55–70% higher than a year ago ^[4]

Despite today’s strength, XRP is still trading below early‑November levels, when it briefly moved closer to the $2.80–$3.00 region before a sharp market-wide sell‑off. ^[5]

Why is XRP up today?

1. Broad crypto rebound on Fed “dovish” shift

Today’s XRP rally is happening alongside a broader risk‑on move in crypto markets. Both Finance Magnates and Crypto.news highlight a 2.4% jump in total crypto market cap to about $3.1 trillion, with Bitcoin back near the high‑$80,000s and Ethereum around the high‑$2,800s. ^[6]

Analysts tie this rebound to changing expectations around U.S. Federal Reserve policy. Dovish comments from multiple Fed officials have pushed the probability of a December rate cut sharply higher (to roughly 80–85% in some derivatives markets), easing fears of prolonged tight monetary policy and improving sentiment toward risk assets like crypto. ^[7]

That macro backdrop matters for XRP: cheaper money and rising liquidity historically support high‑beta assets, and altcoins like XRP tend to move more aggressively once Bitcoin stabilizes.

2. Fresh XRP ETF launches are a direct catalyst

The single biggest XRP‑specific story driving price today is the launch of multiple spot XRP exchange‑traded funds (ETFs) in the U.S., which give traditional investors regulated exposure to the token via standard brokerage accounts.

Key developments:

Franklin Templeton’s Franklin XRP Trust (ticker: XRPZ) began trading on NYSE Arca on Monday, November 24. The fund is structured as a grantor trust, tracks a regulated XRP reference rate, and charges a 0.19% annual fee, waived on the first $5 billion in assets until May 2026. ^[8]
Franklin Templeton joins a field of XRP ETF issuers that already includes Bitwise, Grayscale, and Canary Capital, expanding a rapidly growing suite of institutional XRP products. ^[9]
According to Coinpedia’s ETF and price‑action breakdown, the four newly listed XRP funds collectively generated about $85.7 million in first‑day trading volume, with Bitwise leading at $36.6M, Franklin at $23.6M, Canary at $18.7M, and Grayscale at $6.7M. ^[10]

This new ETF activity is not just a headline: it appears in the order book. Coinpedia notes that intraday flows during U.S. ETF trading hours are increasingly shaping XRP’s liquidity profile, while AInvest frames the ETFs as a “catalyst for institutional adoption and price appreciation”, tying them to rising XRP network usage and institutional holdings. ^[11]

3. Regulatory overhang largely resolved

The ETF launch wave is possible only because the long‑running SEC vs Ripple case has finally concluded.

Capital.com’s legal summary notes that the U.S. District Court ruled in 2025 that XRP itself is not a security in public (retail) transactions, though certain past institutional sales were deemed securities offerings. Ripple agreed to pay a settlement (reported amounts differ by outlet) and both sides withdrew their appeals, closing the case in August 2025 and providing much clearer regulatory guidance for XRP in the U.S. ^[12]

Since then, U.S. regulators have been more willing to approve XRP‑based funds, and asset managers are more comfortable treating XRP as part of a long‑term, regulated product lineup rather than a legal question mark.

Technical picture: key XRP price levels to watch

Several technical analysis pieces published today and in recent days paint a nuanced picture: strong short‑term momentum, but important resistance still overhead.

Support near $2.00–$2.20

Coinpedia’s intraday analysis highlights a support band roughly between $1.99 and $2.25, which has so far held after last week’s sell‑off. ^[13]
Brave New Coin and Finbold both note that XRP has “re‑founded” support around the $2.00 region after briefly breaking lower during the broader market flush. ^[14]

Resistance in the high‑$2s

Coinpedia identifies a major resistance zone between about $2.69 and $2.84, suggesting that a daily close above this range would be needed to confirm a more decisive bullish trend reversal. ^[15]
CryptoBasic’s Ichimoku‑cloud‑based commentary (also dated November 25) similarly warns that XRP is pushing into a thick overhead resistance region, where prior breakdowns began. ^[16]

Bigger picture setups: path toward $7?

A Finbold piece today points to a right‑angled ascending broadening wedge pattern, arguing that if XRP can continue to defend the $2 base and later break upper trendline resistance near $4.50, the full measured move of the pattern would imply potential upside toward $7, a new record high. ^[17]

That scenario is highly speculative, but it underlines the main theme of today’s technical commentary: $2 must hold as a floor, and the high‑$2s to low‑$3s remain the “ceiling” that bulls need to crack for a sustained up‑trend into 2026.

XRP news roundup for November 25, 2025

A cluster of XRP‑focused headlines today helps explain both the price action and the mood around the asset.

1. “XRP surges in strongest breakout in weeks” – ETF breakout narrative

CoinDesk and Finance Magnates both emphasize that XRP is one of the standout movers in today’s rebound, gaining around 7–8% in 24 hours and leading major altcoins as new XRP ETFs attract flows. ^[18]

2. ETF volume and institutional adoption features

Coinpedia: “XRP Price Holds Above Key Support as ETF Launch Generates $85.7M in First‑Day Volume — What’s Next?” focuses on ETF‑driven liquidity and the crucial $1.99–$2.25 support area. ^[19]
AInvest: “XRP ETFs: A New Catalyst for Institutional Adoption and Price Appreciation?” ties ETF inflows to Ripple’s On‑Demand Liquidity (ODL) network, growing tokenized real‑world assets (RWAs) on the XRP Ledger, and sizable institutional holdings such as SBI’s multibillion‑dollar XRP exposure. ^[20]

3. Times Square turns “Ripple Square”

Coinpaper reports that Times Square in New York has been dominated by blue Ripple branding, with market commentators dubbing it “Ripple Square.” The piece notes that Franklin Templeton is publicly calling XRP a “foundational building block” for digital portfolios — language that reinforces the institutional narrative already embedded in the ETF launch. ^[21]

This kind of high‑profile marketing doesn’t change XRP’s fundamentals overnight, but it does help cement the token’s status as one of the few cryptoassets being pushed as an institutional‑grade brand.

4. December seasonality and “higher‑beta than Bitcoin” angles

U.Today’s analysis, “December Belongs to XRP?,” highlights historical data suggesting that while XRP’s median December performance is slightly negative, its average is heavily skewed upwards by a handful of very strong years, including triple‑digit monthly gains. ^[22]

The result: XRP is increasingly being framed as a higher‑beta play into year‑end compared with Bitcoin, which tends to have more modest but more consistent December returns.

5. Bold price‑target narratives

Finbold’s “XRP just flashed path to $7 record high” is driving a lot of social media discussion today. The article builds on chartist Ali Martinez’s wedge pattern analysis and notes that XRP’s market cap has climbed by roughly $10–11 billion in a day, to about $135 billion, as buying pressure accelerates. ^[23]

While such projections should be taken with caution, they feed a feedback loop: technical thesis → media coverage → social amplification → more trader interest.

Fundamentals: beyond the charts and headlines

Today’s price move sits on top of a steadily shifting fundamental backdrop for XRP and the XRP Ledger (XRPL).

1. Regulatory clarity (at least for retail markets)
As Capital.com and Brave New Coin both emphasize, the court’s final judgment that retail XRP transactions on exchanges are not securities has given XRP a rare degree of legal clarity in the U.S. compared with many other tokens. ^[24]

2. Real‑world payments and remittances
AInvest’s breakdown notes that Ripple’s On‑Demand Liquidity (ODL) service, which uses XRP to settle cross‑border transfers in seconds, is now integrated with major partners such as Santander and SBI. Ripple claims that ODL can cut costs for institutional users by as much as 70% compared with legacy systems, and this utility is a core part of the institutional bull case. ^[25]

3. Tokenization and RWAs on XRPL
XRPL is also emerging as a modest but fast‑growing hub for real‑world assets (RWA) such as tokenized treasuries and commercial paper. AInvest cites Q3 2025 XRPL RWA market cap of roughly $364 million, up over 200% quarter‑on‑quarter, alongside rising daily transaction counts and active addresses. ^[26]

Together, these factors support a narrative in which ETF demand, payment utility, and tokenization growth mutually reinforce each other — a narrative that is very visible in today’s coverage.

Short‑term XRP price outlook: scenarios from here

Nothing in today’s data guarantees what XRP will do next, but current analysis points to a few plausible paths:

Bullish scenario

$2.00 continues to hold as a firm floor.
ETF flows remain positive through the week, with XRPZ and its peers deepening liquidity rather than fading after launch. ^[27]
Macro conditions stay supportive: Fed messaging remains dovish, risk assets hold their bounce, and total crypto market cap consolidates above $3 trillion. ^[28]

In this case, technical analysts are watching for a break above the $2.70–$2.80 resistance zone. A sustained move and daily close above that band would validate the bullish wedge or breakout narratives and put $3+ back on the table as a medium‑term target, with some optimists extending projections toward $4.50–$7 over a longer horizon. ^[29]

Neutral / range‑bound scenario

XRP oscillates between about $1.90–$2.70, with each dip toward $2 bought by ETF inflows and each rally into the high‑$2s capped by long‑term sellers taking profit. Coinpedia’s view that XRP is “respecting” its support band but struggling to punch through resistance fits this middle path. ^[30]

Bearish scenario

If ETF flows cool quickly or the broader market resumes its downtrend, today’s bounce could prove to be what some analysts call a “dead cat” rally within a larger corrective structure. Finance Magnates’ piece explicitly frames the current recovery in Bitcoin, XRP and others as potentially temporary, noting death‑cross patterns and the risk of another leg down. ^[31]

Under that lens, a decisive daily close back below $2.00 would re‑open the door to deeper retracements and would invalidate many of the more aggressive short‑term bull cases.

Risk reminder

XRP remains a high‑volatility asset:

Intraday moves of 5–10% are common, and broader swings of 20–40% over weeks are well within historical norms. ^[32]
Even with improved legal clarity, the token’s long‑term regulatory status (especially around ETFs and international treatment) is still subject to policy changes and new enforcement actions. ^[33]

Nothing in today’s price or news flow guarantees future performance. Any decision to buy, sell, or hold XRP should be based on independent research, personal risk tolerance, and, ideally, professional financial advice.
