From its early days, XRP has been a subject of fascination and controversy in the cryptocurrency world. A shift in sentiment emerged around mid-2025, fueled by speculation that legal clarity, increased institutional investment, and contract disclosures could propel XRP into uncharted territory for many, causing significant market shifts.
