XRP News Today: ETF Approvals May Trigger XRP Supply Shock: Whales Stockpile $1.5B as Market Speculates

The cryptocurrency market is witnessing heightened speculation around the potential approval of spot ETFs for XRP and Polkadot (DOT), with institutional investors and analysts closely monitoring developments. Seven major asset managers, including BlackRock, Grayscale, and VanEck, have submitted applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for XRP-based ETFs, potentially unlocking over $5 billion in institutional capital if approved. XRP's price has surged 38% monthly, with technical indicators like the 50- and 200-day moving averages suggesting further gains toward $4. On-chain data reveals that large wallets have accumulated 160 million XRP ($1.5 billion) in the last 30 days, signaling strong whale accumulationXRP and DOT ETF speculation grows: best altcoins to buy for 100x returns^[1].

Polkadot (DOT) also shows promise, trading at $4.30 with bullish momentum supported by its 50- and 200-day moving averages. Analysts project DOT could reach $10 by year-end 2025 and potentially $15–$30 by 2027. Grayscale recently revised its S-1 filing to launch a DOT ETF on Nasdaq, which, if approved, would provide direct exposure to the asset and enhance liquidity. The blockchain's multichain technology and positive investor sentiment are driving renewed interest in DOT as a long-term speculative playXRP and DOT ETF speculation grows: best altcoins to buy for 100x returns^[1].

Technical and regulatory factors are amplifying optimism for XRP. The SEC's recent no-action letter for qualified crypto custodians has bolstered institutional adoption, while Ripple's partnerships with SWIFT and global banks are expanding XRP's utility in cross-border payments. Analysts note that ETF approvals could trigger a "supply shock" as limited retail-held XRP drives up prices to incentivize sales. With the SEC's Rule 6c-11 amendment accelerating ETF reviews, approvals could arrive as early as next month, further legitimizing XRP's institutionalizationXRP Price Prediction: Ripple Holds Strong as PayFi Momentum Builds^[3]Bitcoin Whale Moves $363.9M in BTC to Hyperunit^[5].

Market dynamics suggest a broader rotation into altcoins. A $10B Bitcoin whale's recent $363.9 million transfer to Hyperunit has reignited speculation about ETH accumulation, mirroring prior patterns that preceded short-term Ethereum rallies. While Bitcoin's dominance remains, the interplay between whale activity and ETF speculation is creating a fertile environment for altcoin growth. MAGACOIN FINANCE, with its verified security and community-driven traction, is positioning itself as a credible alternative to established names like XRP and DOT.
