XRP News Today: XRP Surges 62% in 25 Days Driven by Institutional Adoption and Real Estate Deal

XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, is experiencing a significant surge in price, driven by institutional adoption and a landmark real estate tokenization deal with authorities. The introduction of the UXRP ETF is expected to enhance liquidity and attract more institutional investors to the XRP market.

The XRP price in the second half of July has seen one of its most explosive advances, rebounding post-ceasefire in the Middle East. As the calendar turned to a new month, it has gained over 62% in just 25 days from last week, June, to when writing XRP at $3.15.

The ProShares’ decision to launch UXRP, which is the first-ever leveraged XRP ETF offering 2x daily exposure, marks a major step in institutionalizing XRP exposure for traders and investors, which is slated for July 18, 2025. UXRP arrives at a time when market appetite has clearly advanced with several optimistic factors. With UXRP’s daily 2x exposure, it firmly gives short-term speculators the firepower to magnify price action, especially during volatile momentum phases. This move has the potential to initiate a parabolic rally and could even push XRP crypto’s market cap toward a $1 trillion milestone and surpass Ethereum firmly. The timing couldn’t be more strategic, considering XRP’s recent chart breakout and regained investor interest.

Beyond trading catalysts, on July 16, XRP’s real-world utility just received a massive boost. Ripple announced a partnership with Ctrl Alt and the Dubai Land Department to leverage Ripple Custody to store tokenized real estate title deeds on the XRP Ledger. These tokenized assets would enable users fractional ownership, with much greater transparency, and broader accessibility to Dubai’s high-value real estate market. With governments that are now validating XRP’s ledger as a public record-keeping solution, its narrative is shifting towards becoming an infrastructure backbone. This adds structural weight to the XRP price and bolsters long-term investor conviction.

Technically, the XRP price has already broken out of its multi-year falling wedge, which had kept the asset in consolidation since its all-time high near $3.40. In the past 25 days, it has surged from $2.88 to $3.15, marking a 9% gain, accompanied by strong trading volumes and a market cap of $185.76 billion. This momentum became possible because of the ceasefire between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, which has created a favorable backdrop for risk assets. Since this geopolitical de-escalation, capital has flowed back into crypto markets, especially into large-cap tokens like XRP and Bitcoin. Notably, Bitcoin’s strength has helped XRP maintain its uptrend, setting the stage for further gains.

Based on this, an expert declared that XRP “could have the biggest day in history tomorrow on July 18th, while targets near $3.40 are in focus short-term, sentiment points to even higher levels. In another separate analysis, an expert said XRP is on the edge of completing a “decade-long ultimate breakout pattern.” If the token can close above its ATH of $3.40 and hold, many believe it could flip Ethereum’s market cap.
