XRP News Today:

Analysts are increasingly optimistic about the potential price surge of XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization, if spot ETFs are approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in 2025. The likelihood of approval has risen sharply, with Polymarket data showing a 87% chance of approval within the last 24 hours and Nate Geraci, co-founder of the ETF Institute, estimating the odds could be as high as 100%. The SEC faces a key decision deadline in October on several XRP ETF applications, part of over 90 pending filings for exchange-traded products. The approval of these products is seen as a major catalyst for XRP's price movement, with the potential to unlock billions in inflows. JPMorgan and Canary Capital, for instance, have forecasted inflows of up to $8 billion and $5 billion, respectively, within the first year or month of trading, drawing parallels to the success of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs. The success of existing XRP ETFs, such as Teucrium’s leveraged product, which has attracted $353 million in net assets, also suggests strong demand for XRP-based financial instruments.

The potential approval of XRP ETFs is expected to bring increased institutional and retail investor interest. A spot ETF would allow hedge funds, retirement accounts, and large-scale institutions to gain exposure to XRP without directly holding the asset, potentially increasing its mainstream adoption. Analysts point to the precedent set by Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, which have already seen over $54 billion and $13 billion in inflows, respectively. Additionally, the rapid success of XRP-related products like the CME Futures, which achieved $1 billion in open interest faster than any other crypto asset, highlights the growing institutional interest in XRP. This trend has been supported by whale accumulation, with over 350 million XRP coins valued at $984 million purchased in the last two weeks, signaling renewed confidence in the asset.

Technical analysis of the XRP price chart suggests further upside potential if the ETF approval materializes. After a recent decline that brought the price to $2.80, the asset appears to be forming a falling wedge pattern, historically a precursor to a strong breakout. XRP is also resting at key technical levels, such as the 100-day moving average and a strong pivot point on the Murrey Math Lines, which are often associated with bullish reversals. Analysts have outlined potential price targets, with conservative estimates suggesting a price range of $4 to $5, a new all-time high for XRP. More bullish scenarios project a surge toward $10 or even beyond $16, particularly if the ETF approval coincides with broader crypto market optimism, renewed retail interest, and continued whale accumulation.

The broader market context also supports the potential for XRP’s price appreciation. The SEC’s recent decision to withdraw its lawsuit against Ripple has provided legal clarity, removing a major overhang that had previously constrained institutional adoption. Additionally, partnerships and product launches, such as the Gemini XRP Credit Card, have expanded the asset’s utility and accessibility. These developments, combined with the regulatory progress in the U.S., have strengthened the case for XRP as a viable addition to institutional portfolios. As market strategists note, while XRP’s large market capitalization makes it harder to achieve sharp percentage gains compared to smaller altcoins, the growing demand for regulated crypto exposure could drive long-term price appreciation.

If the ETF approval is granted by October, XRP’s price could see a significant upward movement by December 2025. This scenario assumes a strong institutional and retail buying frenzy triggered by the availability of spot ETFs. The need for ETF issuers to purchase large amounts of XRP to back their funds would create buying pressure, potentially leading to a market capitalization expansion. Google Gemini AI has suggested that XRP could range between $10 and $16 by year-end, with the lower end translating to a market cap of over $500 billion. However, this projection is contingent on external factors such as global market conditions and broader crypto trends. The success of existing XRP ETFs and the surge in XRP futures trading, which hit $1 billion in open interest faster than any other asset, further support the view that institutional demand is robust and likely to grow if spot ETFs are approved.
