XRP News Today: XRP's Legal Clarity Fuels Institutional Hopes, But a New Remittance Star Emerges

XRP's price and market dynamics remain under scrutiny as investors weigh potential catalysts and technical indicators for future performance. Recent developments, including the SEC's resolution of its case against Ripple, have provided a degree of regulatory clarity for XRP, reducing some of the legal uncertainties that previously clouded its future [1]. The resolution, finalized on August 22, allows institutional adoption of the XRP Ledger (XRPL) to progress without the same level of legal risk. Ripple's product push has emphasized the ledger's compliance tools, fast transaction speeds, and low fees, which could help attract institutional interest in cross-border settlements [1].

Despite this progress, XRP has faced challenges in maintaining its price above $3. After reaching a 52-week high of $3.65 in July 2025, the token has seen a subsequent pullback and currently trades near $2.80 [3]. Analysts and market strategists have identified a potential double-bottom pattern on the XRP chart, which, if validated, could signal a long-term rally toward the $22 to $27 range [4]. The pattern, which spans multiple years, was first confirmed when XRP broke above the $2 neckline in December 2024. However, the token has since struggled to break out of a parallel channel between $2 and $3.6, with analysts emphasizing that a strong move above this range is critical for bullish sentiment to take hold [4].

Coinbase’s drastic reduction in its XRP holdings has also sparked speculation about broader market sentiment. The exchange has slashed its XRP reserves by approximately 83%, from 970 million coins in June 2025 to just 165 million across 10 wallets by September 2025 [2]. This reduction may be a strategic move to reallocate XRP to liquidity corridors or institutional channels, such as BlackRock’s Aladdin platform. While this has led to reduced selling pressure on the asset, some analysts suggest it could signal tighter supply dynamics and potentially support a price increase if demand remains strong [2].

Looking ahead, a key catalyst for XRP could be the approval of spot ETFs, with predictions indicating an 87% chance of regulatory approval by October 18, 2025 [3]. Bloomberg analysts estimate that as much as $8 billion could flow into XRP if these ETFs are approved, potentially mirroring the price surge seen in Bitcoin when its ETFs were launched. However, the market may already be partially pricing in this event, and analysts caution that the impact could be muted if the news is considered a foregone conclusion.

Amid this backdrop, some investors are shifting their attention to alternative cryptocurrencies with more immediate utility, such as Remittix (RTX). The platform, which enables real-time crypto-to-fiat settlements, has attracted interest for its practical applications in global remittances [5]. With XRP consolidating and facing short-term resistance, Remittix is being framed by some investors as a high-growth opportunity, potentially offering an 11,000% return in 2025. This reflects a broader trend of capital rotation toward altcoins with clear use cases, even as XRP remains a key player in institutional blockchain adoption [5].
