#BTC 能否站上 $80K？ PANews April 8, according to CoinDesk, Standard Chartered Bank said in a report released on Tuesday that Ripple's XRP token price may rise to $12.50 before U.S. President Trump leaves office. Standard Chartered predicts that XRP will rise to $5.50 by the end of the year, $8 by the end of 2026, $10.40 by the end of 2027, and $12.50 by the end of 2028. Standard Chartered noted that XRP prices have risen sixfold since Trump's election victory in November last year, reflecting market expectations that the U.S. SEC will withdraw its appeal against Ripple and that XRP ETFs may be approved. Standard Chartered said the increase was sustainable, partly due to a change in SEC leadership, but also because "XRP is uniquely positioned to facilitate cross-border and cross-currency payments, one of the fastest-growing use cases for digital assets." "The main use case for XRPL is similar to that of stablecoins such as Tether: blockchain-based financial transactions, which have traditionally been done through traditional financial institutions (TradFi)," the report reads. Standard Chartered noted that Ripple also plans to push XRPL into the tokenization space, and these positives mean that XRP should be able to keep pace with its biggest rival Bitcoin in terms of price appreciation. The report adds that XRPL suffers from two shortcomings, namely a small number of developers and limited ability to capture value, but these shortcomings are offset by a number of positive factors.
