Market watcher Whale.Guru, who often refers to himself as a “100x Gem Hunter,” has released new end-of-2025 price targets for XRP, Bitcoin, and Ethereum.
His latest forecast comes at a time when the market remains fearful, with diminishing hopes for a bull run for the remainder of 2025. Notably, major crypto assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, and Solana are all trading below their 30-day highs.
The losses range from 4% to 18%, with the Fear and Greed Index remaining at 27. Meanwhile, some influential voices in the space believe there will be more green days ahead.
Bitcoin to Lead the Next Leg of the Bull Run
According to Whale.Guru’s updated outlook, Bitcoin will continue to drive the next phase of the crypto bull cycle. A climb to $250,000 would represent a new all-time high and a gain of more than 125% from current levels. In parallel, it will give the world’s largest crypto a valuation near $5 trillion.
Such an outcome would likely lift sentiment across the global crypto market, providing favorable conditions for large-cap altcoins to follow.
Ethereum, in his view, could reach $6,000. At the same time, Solana could climb to $350, and BNB to $1,750. Notably, these represent moderate gains of below 100% from current levels. The analyst calls the projection a “realistic” continuation of the current uptrend rather than a speculative mania.
XRP to Reach $5 Under a $250K Bitcoin Scenario
For XRP, Whale.Guru’s $5 target represents a substantial rise from today’s $2.47, a potential 2x increase over the next three months. Notably, this projection is far more conservative than his earlier calls for a $300 XRP during a “supercycle.”
Meanwhile, a $5 XRP would still mark a key psychological milestone, pushing its market capitalization to around $300 billion. Analysts suggest that the combination of ETF launches, institutional adoption, and Ripple’s expanding cross-border settlement network could support even higher price advances.
Earlier projections by other market commentators, such as Ash Crypto and Mario Nawfal, also placed XRP within the $5–$10 range under bullish Bitcoin conditions. This suggests a consensus among analysts for XRP’s moderate yet meaningful growth in 2025.
Ultimately, Whale.Guru’s new tone offers a more grounded outlook than his past “supercycle” forecasts that envisioned XRP at $300 and Solana at $2,000. Still, even a $5 XRP would represent a historic achievement as it is a level never before seen, but widely anticipated.
