Ripple’s $21T XRP Deal Stirs Altcoins, GeeFi Sells 5.3M GEE
At the 2025 XRPL Apex Conference, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse forecast that the XRP Ledger could handle 14% of SWIFT’s $150 trillion annual transactions, equating to $21 trillion. This projection coincides with the launch of multiple spot XRP ETFs in the US, although XRP’s price remains volatile around $1.95. Meanwhile, the GeeFi project aims to bridge the gap between crypto and everyday spending. Its non-custodial wallet and Visa/Mastercard-linked GeeFi Card let users spend digital assets directly. Since its public debut in 2024, the GeeFi presale has raised over $250,000 with 5.3 million GEE tokens sold at $0.05 each. GEE holders can stake for 45–55% APR, earn cashback, and enjoy reduced fees. The presale price is set to rise post its first phase, rewarding early investors.
Bullish
Ripple’s projection of a $21 trillion annual transaction volume for XRP and the rollout of US spot XRP ETFs signal growing institutional adoption and regulatory approval, typically bullish drivers for XRP’s price. Meanwhile, GeeFi’s successful presale and its practical payment solution address a critical usability gap, attracting investor interest in new altcoins. Historically, large-scale on-chain adoption forecasts and token presale successes often lead to short-term price rallies and sustained market momentum. Traders may see increased buying pressure on XRP from ETF flows and on GEE tokens ahead of price increases scheduled after the presale. Over the long term, projects that enhance crypto utility tend to support broader market growth, reinforcing a bullish outlook.
