XRP’s Ledger just shattered its all-time high in total value locked, crossing $94.44 million and igniting the most ambitious XRP (XRP-USD) price target yet—$13. And traders are sharing their analysis and pointing straight to that number like it’s waiting in plain sight. For anyone who sat out the last rally, the question now is if they’re ready to risk another round of regret.

The launch of XRPL’s EVM-compatible sidechain on June 30 triggered a surge in developer interest. More than 1,300 smart contracts have gone live and over 17,000 new addresses have joined. Ethereum-style functionality is pulling in real capital, bringing activity into pools, swaps, and staking protocols.
XRPL Breaks Its Ceiling after Months of Stagnation
TVL had stalled around $90 million for months, but recent weeks have brought a clear breakout. Liquidity is flowing in, and the numbers are rising across the board. Weekly transactions and active addresses are both climbing, and the ecosystem now offers developers real tools to build at scale.
The sidechain rollout created the tipping point. What we’re seeing now is XRPL actually working. People are trading, farming, and showing up in real numbers.
XRP Surges in Market Rankings
XRP recently climbed to $3.65, reclaiming the third spot by market cap and lifting its dominance above 5%. The rise has come with strong volume and attention from traders who are no longer watching from the sidelines.
The asset’s strength now matches its ecosystem’s momentum. XRP is building market share alongside user activity and locked capital, conditions that often lead to explosive follow-through.
Analysts Target a Rapid Run to $13 in Weeks
Technician Tony “The Bull” Severino believes XRP could reach $13 within 40 days. His projection is based on Elliott Wave theory and tracks a setup that mirrors XRP’s historic 2017 rally, when the token gained 1,900% in six weeks.
This analysis has struck a nerve with the trading community. It’s being shared across Binance Square, X, and private groups. Many traders are positioning around it. The symmetry between then and now has become a key part of the narrative, and that belief is feeding back into the charts.
Speed Is the Signal
If Severino’s model holds, XRP will move quickly. The wave projection points to a short, sharp spike; then a possible correction. That timing window is what’s keeping traders alert. It’s not just the level at $13, it’s the pace that’s drawing in capital.
Momentum traders love this kind of setup. It has history, structure, and attention. And in crypto, that combination often becomes self-fulfilling, at least long enough to move the market.
The key takeaway here is that crossing $94 million in locked value is a direct signal of real demand. Developers are deploying, users are transacting, and liquidity is moving where yield and opportunity are growing. A price run from XRP’s current level, around $3.49, would not be surprising.
