XRP price continued to rise on Tuesday, May 13, following bullish comments from Ripple President Monica Long, who predicted 2025 could be the year the U.S. crypto market opens wide. She highlighted a rapid change in tone from American banks regarding Ripple’s blockchain solutions and stablecoin RLUSD, especially after the upcoming November elections.
“It feels like the floodgates are going to open this year,” said Long, as she noted a surge in banking interest for Ripple’s transaction infrastructure.
This positive sentiment, coupled with ongoing regulatory developments, is increasing XRP’s adoption outlook and attracting institutional attention.
Investors are closely watching Judge Analisa Torres, who is deliberating on whether to lift the ban on institutional XRP sales and lower Ripple’s $125 million penalty. The SEC’s recent settlement proposal signals progress toward resolution.
If granted, this could:
Swiss banking giant UBS is now advising its high-net-worth clients to allocate up to 5% of portfolios to crypto. Legal expert John Deaton noted:
“It’s riskier to have zero crypto exposure now than a small stake.”
This shift from traditional finance (TradFi) further underscores the growing demand for regulated digital assets, with XRP likely to benefit if ETF approval follows.
Bitcoin (BTC) rebounded to $104,120, reversing previous losses as U.S. inflation eased to 2.3%, the lowest since 2021. Core CPI held steady at 2.8%, boosting expectations for dovish Fed policy and increasing appetite for risk assets like Bitcoin.
The Nasdaq Composite rose 1.61%, showing widespread market optimism.
Nate Geraci, President of ETF Store, commented:
“Anyone remember ‘no demand’? We’re now 20 straight days into inflows.”
If the proposed Bitcoin Act—calling for the U.S. to acquire 1 million BTC—is passed, Bitcoin’s supply could tighten significantly.
With XRP riding a wave of institutional interest and legal clarity on the horizon, and Bitcoin enjoying tailwinds from inflation relief and ETF demand, both assets are primed for major bullish moves.
