XRP has crossed the $3 mark for the first time since 2018, garnering significant attention as it surpasses Bitcoin (BTC) in Google search volume, fueling optimism for a potential new all-time high.
According to CoinTelegraph on January 16, XRP reached $3 on January 15, leading the cryptocurrency market in 2025. Over the past 15 days, XRP has surged by 41%, marking the highest growth among the top 10 cryptocurrencies. Currently, XRP is 12.9% below its all-time high of $3.40, with analysts anticipating continued price exploration in the coming weeks.
XRP Overtakes Bitcoin in Search Interest
Google Trends data reveals that global XRP search volume surpassed Bitcoin’s on January 15. This marks the second time in the past year that XRP has overtaken Bitcoin in search interest, the last instance being in late November 2024. XRP’s recent rally also broke an 8-year-long resistance level against Bitcoin, further solidifying its bullish momentum.
Additionally, the XRP holder community, known as the "XRP Army," grew by 58,000 in 2025, demonstrating strong holding sentiment.
Spot Demand Drives XRP’s Growth
Market analysts attribute XRP’s recent rally to robust demand from spot investors. Analyst Dom highlighted that XRP’s return to $3 was primarily driven by spot market activity, as futures market funding rates and spot premiums remained relatively stable. He noted, “If this level of demand had occurred with Bitcoin, the rally would have been even stronger.”
Potential to Surpass Ethereum
The XRP community is optimistic that sustained price momentum could enable XRP to overtake Ethereum (ETH). Jeth, co-founder of Sovrun, argued that XRP benefits from a more favorable regulatory environment and pro-crypto policies from the U.S. government, stating, “There’s no reason to hold ETH anymore.”
As XRP continues its upward trajectory, the cryptocurrency is positioned to capture further market attention and challenge its historical highs in the evolving regulatory and market landscape.
