rocketed to the top of the charts.…

4 catalysts that could shake Bitcoin and the altcoin market this week

While gold has quietly drifted 0.07% lower over the past month, silver has 
been busy stealing the spotlight with a 4.89% climb in the same 30-day 
stretch. The last time silver flirted with or topped $38 was back in its 
legendary 2011 rally. $14 to $38: Silver’s Wild Ride Has Bulls Eyeing $50 to

XRP is back in the spotlight after a sudden pop in price. At press time, the 
token traded at $2.80, up 1.5% in the past 24 hours. Earlier today, it even 
hit $2.90 before easing back. Traders haven’t seen XRP at these levels since 
the first week of March, and chatter is growing across trading desks and 
social channels. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds The Alarm: Shiba Inu Primed 
For Over 1,500% Breakout Market Data: Last Week’s Rally Tops 25% XRP’s weekly 
gains now stand around 23%, giving long‑time holders a welcome lift. Bitcoin’s 
break above $118,800—and its steady hold near $118,000—has opened space for 
altcoins to shine. Still, only 28 out of the top 100 non‑stablecoin tokens 
have outpaced Bitcoin over the past 90 days, keeping the Altcoin Season Index 
at just 28/100. That tells us this isn’t a full‑blown altcoin boom yet, but 
XRP has broken out anyway. Don’t be surprised if you wake up randomly this 
week and $XRP is $4+ — EDO FARINA 🅧 XRP (@edward_farina) July 12, 2025 XRP 
Finds Path To $4 Based on reports, crypto educator Edoardo Farina tweeted that 
seeing XRP north of $4 “as early as this week” wouldn’t be a shock. Pushing 
past $4 would mean a 50% jump from current levels and clear the old all‑time 
high of $3.85 set in January 2018. Such a move could come in a fast burst 
rather than a slow grind, driven by sudden FOMO among buyers chasing new 
peaks. Ripple Partnerships And ETF Push Ripple has been busy on the 
partnership front. In early July, the company teamed up with BNY Mellon to 
custody its RLUSD stablecoin, the 8th‑largest stablecoin by market cap, aiming 
to draw in big institutions. Meanwhile, futures‑based XRP ETFs from ProShares 
and others launched in July, and more than 10 spot‑XRP ETF applications are 
now under SEC review. Any green light on a spot ETF could send demand—and 
price—higher. XRP Price Prediction According to the latest price prediction, 
XRP is expected to slip by 0.62% and reach $2.75 by August 12, 2025. Technical 
indicators still lean bullish, and the Fear &amp; Greed Index sits at 74 (Greed). 
Over the last 30 days, XRP posted 18/30 green days with 6.88% price swings, 
data from CoinCodex shows. Related Reading: Tether Changes Strategy In 2025—5 
Blockchains To Be Phased Out Regulatory Risks And Next Steps Even with 
positive signs, XRP faces hurdles. The SEC hasn’t approved any altcoin ETFs 
yet, and updates in Ripple’s ongoing lawsuit could trigger fresh volatility. 
Traders should watch headline risks closely. For now, gains have been 
impressive, and the coin’s four‑month high hints at more action ahead.
