XRP News Today: Institutional Moves and XRP ETF Hopes Fuel Price Mystery

XRP’s price has remained relatively stable in the $2.80 range despite a recent $706 million whale transfer that sparked speculation about increased institutional interest in the token. The transaction, linked to Kraken and involving the movement of coins from cold to hot storage, has been interpreted as a bullish sign of growing exchange demand. However, the token has failed to maintain momentum above $2.88, pulling back to $2.84 amid heightened volatility. Institutional buyers have absorbed much of the selling pressure, adding approximately 340 million XRP tokens in recent weeks, despite market uncertainty around regulatory outcomes and broader macroeconomic conditions [1]. Analysts suggest that if the Federal Reserve delivers the expected 25-basis-point rate cut in its next meeting, liquidity injections could benefit XRP alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, especially if combined with an approval of spot XRP ETFs [1].

The technical outlook for XRP remains mixed, with the token currently consolidating just below $3.50, a key resistance level. On the daily chart, XRP has broken out of a falling wedge, a pattern typically associated with bullish continuation. However, sustaining momentum above $2.75 is critical to avoid a potential pullback toward $2.65. Short-term indicators, including the MACD and RSI, suggest waning momentum, but the broader setup still favors an upward move if liquidity remains supportive [1]. Institutional accumulation and macro tailwinds, such as a dovish Fed pivot, could provide the catalyst for a more sustained rally toward the $5–6 range, according to some market analysts [1].

The approval of spot XRP ETFs is shaping up as a critical catalyst for the token’s institutional adoption and broader market exposure. With 15 ETF applications currently under review by the SEC, and the odds of approval at 87% on prediction markets like Polymarket, analysts are anticipating a potential surge in institutional demand. Scenario analyses suggest inflows of $5–8 billion by November 2025 if ETFs gain approval by October, followed by an additional $5–10 billion from futures arbitrage and RIA allocations. Under such conditions, XRP could experience extreme price elasticity, with some models projecting a move toward $50 by December 2025 [4]. The approval of XRP ETFs would not only inject liquidity but also lend legitimacy to the token, potentially accelerating its mainstream financial adoption [4].

In parallel, a growing narrative around the XRP Ledger’s potential to capture a significant share of the global asset tokenization market is emerging. Analysts have modeled scenarios where the XRPL could capture 10% of the $50 trillion global asset tokenization market by 2030, potentially driving XRP’s price to unprecedented levels. While such projections are speculative, they highlight the broader utility of the XRP Ledger beyond its current use cases in cross-border payments and settlements. More immediate expectations remain grounded in the potential for XRP to reclaim the $5–6 range, provided that macroeconomic and ETF-related catalysts align [1].

Emerging projects like Remittix are also generating buzz in the crypto space, particularly for their focus on real-world utility. With a presale that has already raised $23 million, Remittix has attracted attention for its innovative crypto-to-fiat exchange approach and cross-border payment solutions. The project’s beta wallet, set for a Q3 launch, supports instant transfers to bank accounts in 30 nations and processes 40+ crypto assets and 30+ fiat currencies. Unlike traditional blockchain networks like Solana and Ripple, which operate primarily as infrastructure platforms, Remittix is directly targeting the $19 trillion global payments market with a deflationary token model and a focus on measurable adoption [2].
