XRP News Today: XRP Gains Momentum Amid Institutional Interest and Regulatory Clarity

Abs, host of Good Morning Crypto, has made a bold prediction for XRP, declaring that “.” The claim, delivered via a recent tweet and accompanying video, highlights a significant shift in the cryptocurrency landscape driven by institutional interest, regulatory developments, and broader market dynamics [1].

Abs began by noting that XRP recently closed at $3.25, the second-highest price in its history, attributing this to political changes, particularly the return of U.S. President Donald Trump. He emphasized that the first six months of Trump’s second term saw more crypto innovation than the previous four years combined. However, he also acknowledged the suppression of XRP’s growth due to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) 2020 lawsuit, which delayed its trajectory by nearly $15 billion [1].

Despite these challenges, Abs pointed to XRP’s recent resilience, especially its ability to maintain the $2 price level after a key inflection point in November 2025, a behavior not previously observed [1]. Looking ahead, Abs outlined minimum price targets for XRP, including $4.48, $6.20, $8, and $9.13. These projections, he argued, are achievable due to current institutional interest, the anticipated Clarity Act, and increased retail adoption [1].

A key theme in Abs’s analysis is the concept of “supply shock,” driven by the limited supply of XRP available on exchanges and the expectation of large capital inflows. He highlighted PayPal’s pending integration of XRP, which will allow crypto payments across nearly 100 assets and leverage its global user base of 430 million, as a major catalyst for mainstream adoption [1].

The video also featured insights from Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson, who stated that the traditional four-year crypto market cycle is obsolete. Hoskinson attributed future growth to institutional participation, real-world asset tokenization, and regulatory clarity. He projected that the total cryptocurrency market could exceed $10 trillion by 2026 [1].

Institutional demand for XRP is also gaining momentum. Sal Gilbertie, CEO of Teucrium Trading and issuer of a leveraged XRP ETF (XXRP), confirmed significant investor interest, with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing into the fund within 16 weeks of its launch. Gilbertie described the shift from agricultural products to crypto as akin to the early days of the internet, predicting potential inflows of $10–$20 billion into XRP [1].

Abs also noted the upcoming U.S. government report on cryptocurrency, scheduled for July 30, which may include the creation of a strategic crypto reserve potentially featuring XRP. He further highlighted Ripple’s 2025 acquisition of Hidden Road as a strategic move that positions the firm as a leader in blockchain-based settlement [1].

The broader implications of these developments suggest that XRP is entering a new era defined by institutional capital and regulatory clarity. Abs stressed that the XRP community is not late to the opportunity but rather at the forefront of a transformative phase in the crypto market [1].
