XRP is moving closer to real-world use as UC Berkeley teams up with Ripple through the University Blockchain Research Initiative to launch a pilot program called the University Digital Asset Xcelerator. The goal of UDAX is to turn blockchain research from the classroom into practical solutions, with a clear focus on expanding its use in a regulated financial system.

The UC Berkeley–Ripple initiative bridges early-stage ideas with market readiness by connecting founders to Ripple engineers, venture capital firms, and industry mentors.

Participants receive hands-on support to scale XRP-based enterprise applications, reduce development timelines, and transform research-driven concepts into deployable products aligned with institutional standards across payments, liquidity, and infrastructure.

XRP Breakout Signals Next Major Rally Toward $20

However, the crypto analyst, Javon Marks, highlighted that the asset is back in the limelight after a prolonged coil pattern broke out in the upward direction. Following the break, the price surged more than 580 percent, touching a brand-new all-time high.

However, instead of falling below significant levels, the token managed to remain above them, which is a strong indication that it is ready to surge once again.

The updated projections suggest the trend is only in the early stages. Based on the size of the original coil, there is a minimum target of $15 to $20, which could translate to an increase of over 600% based on the current market prices, provided the trend continues.

XRP 8-Year Base Formation Signals Multi-Year Breakout

Moreover, another crypto analyst, Maxi, revealed that XRP is displaying a very unusual bullish formation in the long run. It appears to be a rounded bottom formation lasting eight years, which is sometimes known as a cup-and-handle formation.

This type of formation normally signifies a major trend change rather than a temporary move. Moreover, it has been ranging sideways for a year below its former record high, absorbing supply in the process.

If XRP manages to move above this resistance level, extensive potential exists in the coin. Initial levels to target are around $7 and further at $19.5, depending on previous extensions in value.

The long-term prediction for the token reaches $58.9. This target is calculated on the entire journey of a base formation period and is not some temporary estimate.
