Crypto analyst Steph Crypto has shared that the XRP price reaching up to $10 this cycle is quite fair. This comes amid changes in the US government and the Federal Reserve’s changing stance. The post points to the positive end of quantitative tightening and moving into a period of quantitative easing, during which risk assets are expected to surge rapidly. Amid this, the XRP price is expected to rise in multiples of its current value and cross the double-digit threshold.
What Quantitative Easing Means For The XRP Price
Quantitative Easing is a period where the US Federal Reserve pushes down interest rates, allowing for more participation in the economy. It pushes liquidity into the market as investors move into the financial market, as loans are now available at much lower interest rates, and investors are able to take more risks with the downside reduced.
Over the last two years, the US has been in a period of quantitative tightening, which has seen interest rates go up and affected investor morale. However, the Federal Reserve has announced its intentions to actually begin a new round of quantitative easing, and this is already painting a bullish picture for cryptocurrencies.
According to the latest reports, the Federal Reserve is expected to end the current round of quantitative tightening on December 1, 2025, and introduce quantitative easing. Going by this timeframe, it means the market has less than one month of quantitative tightening left before better headwinds roll in for the market.
For digital assets such as XRP and its price, this is incredibly bullish, as it brings liquidity back into the market. For example, the 2020-2021 bull market occurred during a period of quantitative easing. As interest rates dropped, so did participation in the market, as the Bitcoin price surged and took the rest of the crypto market with it.
Back then, the XRP price did not benefit from the quantitative easing as it had been tied up in a fierce legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) over the securities status of XRP. However, with the lawsuit finally settled in 2025, the altcoin is no longer held back by the lawsuit.
This means that if the quantitative easing triggers another Bitcoin price surge and starts the next bull run, then the XRP price is expected to fully participate in the altcoin season. Given the performance of the previous altcoin seasons, a 300% rally will not be out of the ordinary for the XRP price.
To put this into perspective, the Ethereum price had staged an over 1,500% rally, going from $100 to over $4,800 by the time the bull run ended. Thus, a 300% rally for the XRP price to reach $10 seems attainable in a bull run.
