Ripple (XRP) is poised to reach $3.00, with signs pointing to a significant rally in the cryptocurrency market.
An analyst details three key factors—the end of the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing (QT) program, the interest rate decision, and the Transparency Act—that will inject unprecedented liquidity into the market.
According to cryptocurrency analyst Austin Hilton, the crypto market has "passed the rally" and begun a strong upward trend. He assures XRP holders that the long-awaited move has begun, driven by a convergence of powerful macroeconomic events.
Liquidity Infusion in December
The immediate catalyst is the Federal Reserve's actions. He highlights two key dates:
December 1: End of QT:
The analyst believes that the end of the Fed's planned quantitative easing program effectively "restarts the money printers," injecting liquidity into all financial assets, including stocks, bonds, and especially cryptocurrencies.
December 10: Federal Reserve Interest Rate Decision:
The market widely expects (with an 86% probability) that the Federal Reserve will maintain or lower interest rates, signaling positive support for high-risk assets such as cryptocurrencies.
XRP Near-Term Target
With this influx of liquidity, the speaker anticipates a strong price move for XRP, currently trading around $2.24. Hilton expects XRP to move below $2.50, targeting between $2.75 and $3.00 by the end of December. This move is expected to be followed by Bitcoin and Ethereum, as capital typically flows through major assets in this order.
Long-Term Game Changer: The Clarity Act
Looking ahead to 2026, the Clarity Act is expected to be passed. This legislation is expected to resolve regulatory uncertainty in the US cryptocurrency space. By providing regulatory clarity, the Act is expected to unleash a massive influx of liquidity from large corporations and institutions that have been eagerly awaiting it, further fueling the long-term uptrend.
