XRP is once again making headlines after a top crypto research firm issued a bold forecast, declaring it “the fastest horse” on the next bull market rally. The statement has reignited enthusiasm across the XRP community, with many investors and traders agreeing despite the token’s history of volatility and past declines. 

Sistine Research Sees Major Shift For XRP

Market analysis platform Sistine Research has shared its outlook on X social media, saying XRP is the best-looking major digital asset in the current market cycle. The firm described XRP as the fastest mover following recent government developments that are expected to reshape the interaction between digital assets and traditional finance. 

Sistine Research believes that several upcoming events could heavily favour XRP in the long run. Among them are a potential banking charter approval for Ripple, the introduction of the CLARITY Act, and the possibility of XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). The research firm has revealed that these key developments would give Ripple a stronger foothold in global finance and expand XRP’s use case in payments and banking. 

In a subsequent post, Sistine Research went even further, suggesting that Ripple could soon become a fully licensed bank. The post warned that some people might downplay this milestone, but emphasized that it would be a very bullish sign for the XRP price. Such recognition and the ensuing adoption could make XRP one of the first digital assets, other than stablecoins, deeply connected to global banking infrastructure, setting it apart from other major cryptocurrencies. 

Notably, Sistine Research’s outlook on XRP aligns with Ripple’s long-term vision of bridging the gap between blockchain technology and traditional finance through the use of digital assets. With regulatory clarity achieved following the resolution of its legal battle with the US SEC, XRP now faces fewer obstacles to growth and development as it continues to solidify its role in the rapidly evolving crypto and financial landscape. 

Analyst Charts XRP’s Bullish Path To $2.7

The price of XRP is currently at $2.5, having experienced a slight recovery after weeks of choppy action and volatility. Crypto analyst Kamran Asghar has reinforced his optimistic forecast with his latest technical breakdown on X. He noted that XRP has broken out of a symmetrical triangle pattern and surged to about $2.5. 

He described this as a strong move that suggests that the cryptocurrency is “reloading” for the next phase of its bull rally. According to Asghar’s TradingView chart, the key support zone lies near $2.35. He expects a short pullback to that level before another leg higher. This implies that XRP could see a temporary 6% decline from current levels.

Subsequently, if support holds, Asghar predicts a confirmed rally toward $2.7, representing an almost 15% price increase and marking the next resistance area for XRP.
