Now is back at $1.30 after it was close to $0,80 on the 10th of January 2018! With the news coming from South Korea saying that they will ban cryptocurrencies is hard to do any predictions. What I can say is that it can easily go back to $3,8 since in the last few weeks from total market cap almost 150 billion USD disappeared. If those big players come again into the game it can even go to $5. You can do the math by yourself using the number of coins, the price and the market cap. Is hard to go higher, because at $7 the capitalisation would be higher than bitcoin, I doubt. 

We have to agree that Ripple superior technology makes it an excellent candidate to replace the antiquated SWIFT system, resulting in more and more banks getting on board the Ripple train. Over and above, there have been rumors that Coinbase, the famous cryptocurrency exchange, is planning on adding Ripple to its list of tradable coins come mid-2018. Considering the fact that Ripple is now on third spot as cryptocurrency this prediction is close to real. Should these rumors be true, this would make Ripple more accessible to public investors, which should increase its adoption rate. Hence, five, or even close to $7 dollars is a fair Ripple price prediction.
