XRP News Today: XRP Surges 26% in Week as Bullish Signals and ETF Hopes Drive Optimism

XRP, Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, has seen renewed attention as it surges in price and market position in mid-2025. The token climbed to $2.90 in July 2025, a 26% gain for the week, reclaiming its position as the third-largest cryptocurrency by market capitalization [1]. Analysts are now debating whether this upward momentum is enough to propel XRP to $10 by year-end 2025 [8].

Technical indicators such as the XRP SuperTrend suggest a bullish flip on 12-hour charts, a pattern historically linked to major price surges. Ali Martinez, a noted analyst, references a prior 470% rally following a similar signal, and posits a $10 price target if the current trend holds [1]. Additionally, the bullish pennant pattern suggests a potential price target of around $10, calculated by measuring the pattern's height and projecting it from the neckline [1].

The growing interest in XRP is also fueled by the possibility of a spot XRP ETF approval by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Bloomberg analysts estimate an 85% chance of such approval in 2025 [7], a development that could significantly boost institutional investment. Polymarket reflects similar optimism, pricing the likelihood of an XRP ETF greenlight by year-end at 88% [9]. If approved, XRP could see inflows similar to those experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum following their ETF approvals [8].

Ripple’s real-world utility in cross-border payments also plays a role in its outlook. The company’s existing partnerships with global financial institutions reinforce XRP’s practical use, potentially increasing demand as adoption continues [8]. Analysts also note that a regulatory breakthrough or a surge in Bitcoin—such as reaching $150,000—could trigger a 200%-300% rally in XRP, potentially pushing its price above $5 or even toward $10–$20 [4].

Retail investors are also showing interest, with some viewing XRP as a high-potential investment. For instance, a $300 investment in XRP today could turn into a substantial return if the token reaches its ambitious price targets [5]. However, reaching $10 by year-end remains speculative, with more conservative projections pointing to a $10–$20 price range by 2026 [8]. The feasibility of these targets depends on continued adoption, favorable regulatory developments, and broader macroeconomic shifts.

Despite the enthusiasm, analysts caution against over-optimism. The path to $10 by 2025 depends on multiple variables, including legal clarity and market conditions. Given the inherent volatility of the crypto market and the still-evolving regulatory landscape, investors are advised to treat such price targets as speculative and to maintain a diversified portfolio [8].
