XRP News Today: Institutional Bet On XRP: Why $3.00 Could Ignite a Bull Run

XRP appears poised for a significant price move as multiple analysts and market observers highlight bullish signals and potential catalysts for a price surge. Analyst Nate Geraci of ETF Store and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have both indicated optimism surrounding the possibility of an XRP ETF approval, which could drive institutional inflows similar to those seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs earlier in the year. If this scenario unfolds, it could significantly increase XRP’s liquidity and price, potentially pushing it toward new all-time highs [2].

Technical analysis also supports a positive outlook. XRP has shown resilience above key support levels, with traders closely watching the $3.00 threshold, seen as a critical level for a potential breakout. If bulls can push XRP past this level, analysts predict it could move toward its previous high of $3.66 and possibly extend further into the $4–$7 range by mid-October [4]. The broader altcoin market is also showing signs of a potential breakout, with patterns like the cup-and-handle formation suggesting further upward movement in the coming months [2].

Several macroeconomic and institutional factors are also contributing to a bullish case for XRP. The U.S. Federal Reserve’s expected rate cut in September is seen as a positive development for risk assets, including cryptocurrencies. At the same time, Ripple has been making strides in institutional adoption, with partnerships forming with firms like Thun and Linklogis, and treasury companies exploring XRP for liquidity solutions [2]. These developments are viewed as reinforcing the token’s utility and adoption potential.

Market structure and trading volume data also reflect growing interest in XRP. Open interest in XRP futures reached $1 billion at an unprecedented pace, surpassing even Bitcoin and Ethereum in speed. This rapid accumulation of interest suggests strong demand from both institutional and retail investors [2]. Additionally, Ripple’s ongoing efforts to secure a U.S.-chartered bank license and the progress of the Market Structure Bill could provide further clarity for institutional investors, potentially accelerating XRP’s adoption [4].

Looking ahead, the next two months are expected to be pivotal for XRP’s price trajectory. Key events, such as ETF review deadlines, regulatory developments, and macroeconomic updates, could determine whether XRP retests its all-time high or faces another period of consolidation. Analysts have set price targets ranging from $19.27 [2] to $20 [1], with some projecting a potential move into the $20–$30 range by early 2025 if the bullish scenario plays out as expected. However, these projections are contingent on a breakout above critical resistance levels and sustained institutional interest.
