Real Vision CEO Raoul Pal recently revisited a familiar macroeconomic pattern now emerging again in 2025: the “Trump cycle.” Pal drew a direct comparison between the post-election environments of late 2016 and late 2024. In both cases, the dollar surged immediately after Trump’s victory, followed by a sharp reversal. This shift signaled changing financial conditions and set the stage for market reactions in the quarters that followed. In Pal’s words, “The dollar ripped in the back end of 2016, it ripped in the back end of 2024,” describing this as a tightening of financial conditions that typically manifests in markets around three months later. This played out once again, with early 2025 experiencing a broad market correction, mirroring what occurred in the first quarter of 2017. The dollar’s rally proved short-lived , reversing as policy signals from the Trump administration pointed toward a deliberate effort to engineer cyclical dollar softness as part of a broader economic strategy. Raoul Pal’s Prediction and XRP Rally The video of Pal’s remarks was shared by Digital Asset Investor (@digitalassetbuy) on X, who tied the broader macroeconomic narrative directly to XRP’s performance in the previous Trump cycle. In his post, he highlighted how XRP surged nearly 30,000% during the 2017–2018 period, rising from fractions of a cent to an all-time high near $3.84. The conditions Pal outlined, including dollar volatility, political pressure on currency direction, and the resulting impact on liquidity, closely match the setup during XRP’s last historic run.

A policy-driven push toward weaker dollar conditions, easing liquidity constraints, and investor appetite for asymmetric risk. Digital assets historically benefit in these conditions, and XRP, with its prior breakout history, remains a prime candidate for outsized gains. Experts have advised investors to buy XRP instead of saving dollars , and the digital asset’s previous surge occurred under nearly identical macro pressures, making its performance highly relevant as the dollar trend reverts downward once again. Potential Upside Scenario XRP is currently trading at $2.3, showing renewed interest following the dollar’s pullback and despite the Federal Reserve’s hesitance to cut rates . If XRP were to repeat even a fraction of its previous 30,000% move under similar macro conditions, the implications would be significant. For example, a 1,000% gain from current levels would place XRP around $25.3, while a repeat of the full 30,000% surge would theoretically lift XRP to $692.3. While such extremes are speculative, the setup has historical precedent . As the dollar weakens and Trump repeats past policy patterns, XRP is regaining attention.
