XRP is positioning itself for a massive price surge, with growing demand from whale investors and increasing speculation about a spot XRP ETF approval in the U.S. The Cboe Exchange recently filed multiple 19b-4 applications with the U.S. SEC, signaling that the first XRP ETF could be on the horizon.
XRP’s Price Action: Bullish Momentum Ahead?
Despite a 4% dip in the past 24 hours, XRP is still showing strong bullish patterns, suggesting a potential breakout past $4 in the near future. The token, currently trading around $2.36, has been forming a rising bullish flag, a key indicator that a larger rally is imminent.
Whale investors remain confident—data from Santiment shows that accounts holding 100 million to 1 billion XRP have accumulated 520 million coins during the recent market correction.
XRP’s correlation with Bitcoin remains high, meaning a Bitcoin rally could further boost XRP’s momentum.
Market analysts expect XRP to thrive in the 2025 bull run, fueled by both technical patterns and fundamental growth.
XRP Ledger & Institutional Demand on the Rise
The XRP Ledger (XRPL) is evolving into a leading Web3 platform, supporting scalable and interoperable DeFi applications. Institutional demand for XRP is growing, especially with the rise of Ripple USD (RLSD)—a stablecoin that has now reached a $108 million market cap and is being actively used on platforms like Revolut.
Spot XRP ETF: A Game Changer?
Following the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, XRP could be the next altcoin to enter the ETF space.
The Cboe Exchange has filed the necessary 19b-4 applications for Bitwise Investments, Canary Capital, WisdomTree, and 21Shares.
The U.S. SEC now has 240 days to make a decision on these applications.
The pro-crypto stance of the Trump administration raises expectations that a spot XRP ETF could gain approval sooner rather than later.
What’s Next for XRP?
With institutional interest surging, whale accumulation rising, and ETF speculation heating up, XRP could be on the brink of a major rally.
Will XRP finally break past its all-time high? If ETF approvals move forward and institutional adoption continues, this might just be the moment XRP holders have been waiting for.
