Can Trump-Led Crypto Reserve Drive XRP to $4.50?

In one of the most surprising announcements of this month, the incoming presidential administration has discussed the creation of a new crypto reserve focused on US-based assets. Indeed, it is a key part of the emerging shift to embrace the asset class. With Ripple (XRP) surging, the question needs to be asked: can a Donald Trump-led crypto reserve of that kind push the asset to $4.50?

The last week has seen the token surge alongside a broader market rally. Moreover, with the US President-elect Trump set to be inaugurated next week, that ongoing surge doesn’t appear to be slowing any time soon. Although there are lofty ideas on the horizon, there could be massive implications if the incoming administration is able to make good on its reserve hopes.

Although the early weeks of 2025 proved to be limiting for cryptocurrencies, things turned around this week. Indeed, a host of assets are surging in value as a widespread market rally has taken place. Among them is Bitcoin, which recently jumped to the $104k mark Friday.

A big reason appears to be anticipation for the arrival of a pro-crypto presidential administration. With a complete revamp expected for the asset class, several tokens should be eyeing monumental jumps. Chief among them is Ripple (XRP), as the talk of a Trump-led crypto reserve could have the token targeting $4.50.

As of Friday, XRP had jumped more than 42%, according to CoinMarketCap. Moreover, that aligns with the 33% jump that it experienced over the last month. Sitting at $3.25, the token is a far cry from its price in January of last year. Since that point, it has increased by a remarkable 472%.

But just how high can it go? According to cryptocurrency price prediction platform CoinCodex, XRP is likely to reach a high of $3.50 throughout January. However, things are expected to change in the coming months. Specifically, the platform projects that it will break through $4 for the first time hit year in March

The yearly high for the crypto is expected to happen that same month when the asset surges to $4.89, a 50% jump from its current position. However, the presence of legislation establishing a cryptocurrency reserve including XRP could change all that. Indeed, the positive momentum could have the asset challenging that yearly high over the next month.
