XRP News Today: XRP Rises 26% Weekly on Bullish Signals and ETF Hopes

Ripple’s XRP is currently drawing significant market attention, with analysts and investors eyeing a potential price rally to $5 by 2025, driven by bullish on-chain activity and growing institutional interest. Positive technical indicators, including a bullish signal from the XRP SuperTrend on 12-hour charts, have reinforced optimism about the token’s upward trajectory. These patterns historically have been linked to major price surges, fueling speculation that XRP could follow a similar path [1].

Recent developments suggest a favorable environment for XRP. On July 3, 2025, XRP traded at $3.15, reflecting a 3.27% increase in the previous 24 hours. By mid-July, it reached $2.90, with a notable 26% weekly gain. This upward momentum has led analysts to predict a potential surge to $5 and even higher, with some forecasts suggesting a price target of $10 by the end of 2025 or early 2026 [1].

The ProShares Ultra XRP ETF has played a pivotal role in boosting institutional confidence, particularly following its approval. This development, combined with reduced whale-to-exchange transfers, has created a supportive backdrop for further price gains. As major holders show less selling pressure, the market is observing a shift in sentiment, with many investors anticipating further price increases if key resistance levels are breached [1].

Legal clarity is another critical factor contributing to XRP’s bullish outlook. With Ripple’s ongoing legal battles and regulatory progress, market participants are more willing to engage, which has positively impacted the broader DeFi ecosystem. Assets like Aave’s RLUSD have also seen increased interest, indicating a broader effect of XRP’s price action on related financial instruments [1].

Bullish patterns such as the pennant formation on technical charts suggest the potential for a price target of around $10. This projection is based on the height of the pattern and the neckline projection. Analysts, including Ali Martinez, have cited historical precedents where similar signals led to substantial price surges, such as a 470% increase in the past [1].

The possibility of a U.S. SEC-approved spot XRP ETF is a major driver of optimism. Bloomberg analysts estimate an 85% chance of approval in 2025, while Polymarket sets the probability at 88% by year-end. Such an approval could bring institutional inflows similar to those seen after the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launches, potentially elevating XRP to new heights [1].

Ripple’s cross-border payment infrastructure is another long-term catalyst. Its established partnerships with global financial institutions highlight XRP’s practical use cases, which could drive increased adoption and integration within the financial sector [1].

Despite these positive factors, the path to $10 by 2025 remains speculative and contingent on broader market dynamics and regulatory developments. Analysts caution that while the current conditions are favorable, the crypto market remains volatile, and investors should maintain a diversified approach [1].

Retail investors are also showing growing interest, with some viewing XRP as a high-potential investment. However, reaching ambitious price targets like $10 by year-end is subject to multiple variables, and more conservative forecasts suggest a $10–$20 price range by 2026 [1].
