Ripple's XRP ( XRP -1.15% ) has had a momentous six months, soaring almost 350% since November. What's more, Standard Chartered thinks it can go even higher. Analyst Geoffrey Kendrick predicts that Ripple will reach $12.50 by the end of 2028 -- that's about a 450% upside from today's price.
In the near term, Kendrick thinks XRP can reach $5.50 (more than double the current price of about $2.19) before the end of this year. He cites three major catalysts for growth:

XRP Ledger growth and increased stablecoin transactions
Ripple's settlement agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
