THE LATEST CRYPTO NEWS

Technical analyst ALLINCRYPTO has reiterated a high-beta roadmap for XRP, arguing that chart structure and pattern symmetry could propel the token to roughly $19.20 within the next six months—while specifying a precise model target of $19.27. XRP Explosion Ahead? In a September 21 video address, he framed the move as a classic continuation sequence following a run at all-time highs and a corrective “falling wedge” that has now been retraced. “I think something like this is what you’re going to see once again… this actually could take you to that $19.27 mark,” he said, adding that his “price prediction remains the same.” The crux of the thesis is historical rhyme and pattern logic. “Just like 2017, we ran into an all-time high… and essentially, we are pulling back in and around it,” the analyst said, describing the pullback as a falling wedge—a structure he classifies as continuation when it appears in an uptrend. “The falling wedge has been completed. You have run or retraced the entire wedge… Since we engulfed that and made a target, we have now been pulling back once more, again, in the form of a falling wedge.” In his view, this sets up an “engulfment of the entire pullback… and then leads to continuation.” Related Reading: Next XRP ‘Monster Leg’ Will Start No Earlier Than 2026: Analyst He also points to a potential cup-and-handle spanning the current cycle, cautioning that its measured-move objective would sit “significantly higher than $19.27,” but that his public focus is the nearer six-month path. “It’s a reliable pattern. It’s really a story of trend continuation,” he said, emphasizing that when assets “break into new all-time highs, typically they continue and will actually reach that target.” The timeline he outlines runs roughly through late March 2026. The $19.27 waypoint is not new for ALLINCRYPTO. He has repeatedly telegraphed that objective across social channels in recent weeks, tying it to a multi-leg advance after consolidation at prior highs. “XRP’s chart [is] setting up for a next leg, which, over time, may be set to reach a price target of $19.27,” he wrote in one post amplifying the thesis to his followers. In earlier messaging, he framed the scenario as “price discovery” into the $19s if resistance continues to resolve. ???? ???? A look at $XRP‘s recent movements and where we could expect to see the token going, closer towards our long-term price target of $19.20 pic.twitter.com/wEEM4CFPLs — ALLINCRYPTO (@RealAllinCrypto) September 21, 2025 At publication time on September 22, XRP trades near $2.80, implying that the analyst’s six-month objective would require on the order of a 6–7x advance from the current spot. The pair’s short-term context remains choppy after a multi-week range at the round-number handle. Related Reading: Pundit Predicts XRP Price Crash Below $3, Here’s Why Pattern mechanics are central to the call. In classical terms, a falling-wedge retrace that completes to its origin and then resolves upward often precedes trend continuation, while a cup-and-handle breakout seeks to clear prior highs on expanding participation. The analyst’s near-dated map therefore hinges on two confirmations: maintaining the recent uptrend structure after the wedge retrace and securing a decisive breakout “once again” through resistance to re-enter price discovery. “We have spoken about how potentially this could be a major cup and handle,” he said. “We haven’t given you the price prediction on the back end of that… [but] I actually think that XRP… stands a pretty good chance of getting to the original price prediction that we gave of $19.27.” Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has failed to maintain bullish momentum after pushing as high as $3.13 during the week. At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $3.00 and testing its resilience above this level after sliding alongside Bitcoin. The resulting price action is a defining moment for XRP’s short-term trend, according to technical analysis, and crypto analyst CasiTrades has pointed out a decisive support level that could determine whether the bullish structure remains intact. Related Reading: Bitcoin Is ‘Digital Capital’ That Outpaces Traditional Assets—Michael Saylor XRP Tests $2.98 Support Zone Taking to the social media platform X, crypto analyst CasiTrades highlighted an important support level that XRP must hold in order to continue its bullish momentum. According to CasiTrades, XRP’s most immediate challenge is at the $2.98 support line.  The analyst’s technical analysis outlines an Elliott Wave formation now unfolding into an ABC corrective pattern. The analysis unfolds XRP’s price action since the beginning of September into Elliot Waves and suggests that XRP is now playing out Wave 4, which is a corrective wave divided into an ABC pattern.  Although XRP is still holding above $2.98, momentum indicators such as the RSI on both the one-hour and four-hour timeframes show no bullish divergence, often a necessary condition for reversal. This puts the $2.98 level in the spotlight, and a break below it could increase the likelihood of further downside pressure. The analysis highlights the possibility of corrective Wave C extending below $2.98 towards Fibonacci retracement levels near the low $2.90s. The measured C wave extension points to the 0.618 Fib retracement, which is around $2.92 and $2.94.  Interestingly, the 15-minute chart does reveal a short-term bullish divergence, offering a small window for relief bounces. However, without confirmation on the higher timeframes, such reactions are likely to remain temporary. The broader outlook, as outlined by the analyst, still leans toward the probability of another downward wave unless buyers step in strongly at $2.98 to restore confidence and preserve the larger bullish structure. Chart Image From X: CasiTrades Implications If XRP Holds Above $2.98 If buyers manage to hold above $2.98, XRP could stabilize and enter a consolidation phase that will create a foundation for the next leg higher. This consolidation would give the XRP price the breathing room it needs for an eventual upward attempt, one that would mark the beginning of an impulse Wave 5 formation within the Elliott Wave count. In this scenario, a decisive push through the $3.10 level becomes the first hurdle, and breaking it would confirm that bullish momentum is once again in play. Should XRP successfully clear $3.10 with volume and follow-through, the next target identified by the analyst is another resistance at $3.25. A sustained bullish momentum beyond this point could carry the price toward the next resistance at $3.44. Related Reading: Is XRP Ready For Its Most Powerful Rally Yet? Analysts See $20 Ahead At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.01, down by 2.8% in a seven-day timeframe. Preserving the bullish wave structure and holding above $2.98 at this point is essential to avoid the corrective pattern turning into a deeper downtrend.  Featured image from Unsplash, chart from TradingView

Crypto pundit and legal expert Bill Morgan has humorously predicted that the XRP price will drop below $3. He ironically alluded to a series of bullish developments as what would contribute to the price crash.  XRP Price To Crash Below $3 Amid Bullish Developments In an X post, Morgan predicted that the XRP price would drop $3 as he joked about how the altcoin keeps dropping despite bullish developments. This came as he highlighted Ripple’s partnership with DBS and Franklin Templeton to provide a trading and lending solution, powered by tokenized money market funds on the XRP Ledger and in stablecoins such as RLUSD.  Related Reading: 8-Year Accumulation Phase Could Catapult XRP Price To $6 Prior to his prediction, the legal expert had also highlighted how the XRP price was down despite “all the good news,” which included the launch of the REX-Osprey XRP ETF. The ETF became the first U.S. fund to offer investors spot exposure to XRP. Morgan also alluded to the CME Group’s announcement of plans to launch options on XRP futures on October 13.  Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve lowered interest rates for the first time this year, a development that was expected to be bullish for the XRP price. However, despite these developments, the crypto pundit noted that the XRP price was still down. He stated that it felt like “Déjà vu,” pointing to the period between 2018 and October 2024.  Meanwhile, in another X post, the crypto pundit joked that he was afraid to post more good news over fear that the XRP price may keep declining. This came in reference to Coinbase’s announcement that in just one month, the Solana and XRP Perpetual-Style Futures have scaled exponentially. The crypto exchange announced that these futures have generated over $1.9 billion in notional volume, with more than 1.6 million contracts having been traded.  “No Mystery” In Why XRP Is Down Bill Morgan eventually admitted that there is no mystery in why the XRP price is actually, noting that it was because of the Bitcoin price rather than all the “good news” he had earlier alluded to. He further remarked that this overwhelming reality and the most significant factor in the XRP price movement, which is heavily correlated with the BTC price dynamics. The legal expert added that this is consistent with Ripple’s expert evidence in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit.  Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Major XRP Warning: Last Chance To Get In As Accumulation Balloons Crypto analyst CasiTrades also noted that the XRP price is taking a hit alongside Bitcoin and that because the altcoin failed to make a new local high, the door is open for a deeper correction. She stated that the altcoin could drop to between $2.92 and $2.94 as this aligns with both the .618 retracement and the measured C-wave extension.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The arguments for the XRP being able to reach $10+ or not have ranged from how high the market cap would have to go, as well as there being too much supply of the token. However, crypto analyst XForceGlobal has debunked it and said that the market cap argument is not valid. In their view, the XRP price is definitely primed for the $10 mark and is only a matter of time before the digital asset reaches this level. Don’t Be Fooled By The Market Cap Argument In a post on the X (formerly Twitter) platform, the crypto analyst warned XRP investors not to be fooled by those who say that the price cannot rise to $10+. Most especially, the argument that the market cap would be too high at this price would be irrelevant. Related Reading: Shiba Inu Completes Bullish Setup: Why A 138% Climb Could Be In The Works According to the post, the XRP price is expected to actually cross the double-digit mark in the next year. This is because with the triangle breakout that began back in 2024, the XRP price remains quite bullish. Hence, there is still a small window of opportunity where the altcoin could continue its run. Going by the analyst’s chart, in the event of a breakout, the XRP price could quickly rally toward $4 to set a new all-time high. Then through the year 2026, the bullish wave is expected to persist, triggering an over 200% increase to break $10, and eventually rally toward $14. XRP Price Still Bullish Despite Decline Another crypto analyst, TradingShot, has also pointed out why the XRP price is still bullish, alluding to a technical setup on the 1-day chart. The analyst points to the fact that the price had bottomed back in April after months of onslaught due to Donald Trump’s tariff wars. Then, with the recent recovery, the price has been testing and holding the 1-Day MA50 as support above $2.7. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Tells Dogecoin Investors To Stay Sharp Amid Historical Bullish Setup The significance of this is that the XRP price is holding this support after bottoming from its bearish leg on the 1-Day MA100 chart. Thus, this means that is the 1-Day MA50 is confirmed, then it would be the push needed for the altcoin to continue to rally. The target for the rally here is an over 60% increase in price to reach the $5 mark. “That Bullish Leg peaked on the 2.0 Fibonacci extension level. If this sequence is repeated, expect the next high to be around $5.00,” the crypto analyst explained. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

The XRP price is showing signs of repeating a past price pattern that once led to a strong rally. According to crypto analyst Egrag Crypto, this setup suggests a move higher in the weeks ahead. To back the bullish case, the token is currently holding its ground above support areas. Traders across the market are now waiting to see if this pattern develops into another upward move. Analyst Spots Bullish Fractal Formation In XRP Price Chart Egrag Crypto has been studying the XRP price chart and points to what he calls a repeating fractal formation. In this case, the current price structure with the yellow fractal of XRP resembles one seen before a strong rally in the past. It indicates that the token price has been fluctuating within a narrow range for some time.  Related Reading: Pundit Shares ‘XRP Endgame’: What To Watch Out For With Ripple This type of price action often suggests that the market is building pressure, and according to him, XRP is getting ready for the next move. If XRP continues to follow this fractal, the token could break through resistance levels, confirming the bullish trend. These resistance points are at $3.91 and $5.56. This sideways trading has built a stable base on the chart, and the fractal points to the next move possibly starting soon.  XRP Price Targets $6–$7 By Mid-November Based on this fractal setup, Egrag Crypto projects that XRP could trade between $6 and $7 by mid-November 2025. Such a move would mean the token more than doubles in value from its current level. A rise of over 100% in such a short period would bring renewed attention to XRP and could signal the start of a broader rally across the crypto market. The $6 to $7 target zone is the key part of his bullish outlook, marking a possible turning point for XRP. Related Reading: Market Expert Says XRP Price At $1,000 Will Happen, But The Timeline Is Different Currently, XRP is valued at $3.03, marking modest but steady growth. Over the past 24 hours, it has gained around 2.57%. Over the past week, the token has increased by 3.21%, and on the monthly chart, it has added 3.3%. With the rise in XRP markets, adding more strength, showing that buyers are gradually pushing the price higher. This constant build often prepares the way for bigger moves if the buying continues. According to the analysis, if XRP is to keep moving in a bullish direction, staying above the $2 support area is essential. If XRP maintains this base, it makes the fractal projection of $6 to $7 by mid-November much more likely. Analysts often point to support levels as foundations for rallies, and in this case, the $2 price level could serve as the platform that launches the token toward its projected price range of $6 to $7.

Crypto Insight UK used the first post-cut trading day to reframe the XRP narrative around what he calls the difference between utility and speculation, arguing that the latest burst of institutional developments does not automatically validate “$100 dreams.” While welcoming macro and regulatory tailwinds, he cautioned that euphoria often front-runs fundamentals and urged disciplined profit-taking if XRP reaches what he considers this cycle’s plausible range. “Don’t get caught in the trap of thinking when it starts to send that it’s going to go to $100 or $200 or $50 straight away,” he said, adding that, should XRP push into double digits, “I’m going to be taking a significant amount—probably towards 80%—of my portfolio off the table.” Massive Tailwinds For XRP The macro backdrop he keyed on was the Federal Reserve’s 25-basis-point rate cut on Sept. 17 and Chair Jerome Powell’s guidance that more easing is possible this year. Risk assets whipsawed on the headlines before settling, with markets now handicapping further cuts into year-end. For the analyst, the decision was “pretty much a nothing burger” in isolation, but it sharpened the focus on micro drivers inside crypto—namely flows and policy. Related Reading: Next XRP ‘Monster Leg’ Will Start No Earlier Than 2026: Analyst On policy, he highlighted what may prove the most consequential regulatory pivot since US spot Bitcoin and Ether ETFs: the SEC’s approval of generic listing standards for spot commodity ETPs across major exchanges, a change that streamlines the path for crypto ETFs beyond BTC and ETH. In the same sweep, the agency cleared Grayscale’s Digital Large Cap product—a multi-asset ETP holding Bitcoin, Ether, XRP, Solana and Cardano—signaling a new phase for regulated crypto baskets. “ He also pointed to deepening derivatives infrastructure. CME Group announced it will list options on Solana and XRP futures, extending regulated hedging tools beyond the BTC/ETH duopoly and potentially drawing new institutional basis and vol sellers into those order books. Yet it was Ripple’s new institutional initiative that the analyst treated as the week’s sleeper story. Ripple, DBS and Franklin Templeton unveiled a plan to enable accredited and institutional clients to toggle between Ripple’s dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) and Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money-market fund (sgBENJI) on DBS Digital Exchange—with the bank exploring the use of sgBENJI as repo collateral and Ripple’s stablecoin as transactional grease. Franklin Templeton will issue the sgBENJI token on the XRP Ledger. In his view, the significance is two-fold: a credible on-chain cash-and-collateral market and a concrete, regulated venue for RLUSD utility. Related Reading: Facts Vs. Hype: Analyst Examines XRP Supply Shock Theory To underscore the potential scale, he cited RLUSD executive Jack McDonald’s estimate that “repo transaction volume is well into the 10s of trillions globally (nearly $12T in the US in 2024 itself).” The analyst did not claim that flow will migrate wholesale to the XRP Ledger; rather, he framed it as an addressable ceiling for tokenized collateral markets if custody, compliance and counterparty rails mature around them. Why XRP Won’t Reach $100 This Cycle The technicals in his rundown served more as risk-management context than price calls. He flagged Bitcoin dominance’s recent weakness as the tell for an early-stage altcoin rotation while noting that short-term structures remain choppy. The analyst referenced BNB’s push toward a 1.618 Fibonacci extension and observed that XRP, by his drawings, remains below a comparable extension level—thereby allowing for catch-up dynamics should capital rotate. He reiterated that speculation typically “moves price further than utility does, at least initially,” and cautioned that traders should not confuse institutional news with a settled valuation model for base-layer settlement tokens. Where does that leave XRP? His thesis is deliberately conservative relative to social-media targets. He said he still believes utility “is going to come,” especially as US market-structure language evolves and institutional rails—ETFs, CME derivatives, tokenized cash and collateral—proliferate. However, the analyst continues to uphold his long-stated thesis that the $12 region will mark the cycle top for XRP. Until there is a widely accepted framework to price “base utility” for throughput, he intends to sell into strength if XRP hits his personal range for this cycle, keep a 10% “moon bag” above that, and reassess. The discipline, he argued, is psychological as much as mathematical: “If you were afraid of losing $1,000 … and it’s now worth $20,000, you should be 20 times more afraid of losing $20,000.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.03.

An XRP/BTC long-term chart shared by pseudonymous market technician Dr Cat (@DoctorCatX) points to a delayed—but potentially explosive—upswing for XRP versus Bitcoin, with the analyst arguing that “the next monster leg up” cannot begin before early 2026 if key Ichimoku conditions are to be satisfied on the highest time frames. Posting a two-month (2M) XRP/BTC chart with Ichimoku overlays and date markers for September/October, November/December and January/February, Dr Cat framed the setup around the position of the Chikou Span (CS) relative to price candles and the Tenkan-sen. “Based on the 2M chart I expect the next monster leg up to start no earlier than 2026,” he wrote. “Because the logical time for CS to get free above the candles is Jan/Feb 2026 on an open basis and March 2026 on a close basis, respectively.” XRP/BTC Breakout Window Opens Only In 2026 In Ichimoku methodology, the CS—price shifted back 26 periods—clearing above historical candles and the Tenkan-sen (conversion line) is used to confirm the transition from equilibrium to trending conditions. That threshold, in Dr Cat’s view, hinges on XRP/BTC defending roughly 2,442 sats (0.00002442 BTC). “As you see, the price needs to hold 2442 so that CS is both above the candles and Tenkan Sen,” he said. Related Reading: Facts Vs. Hype: Analyst Examines XRP Supply Shock Theory Should that condition be met, the analyst sees the market “logically” targeting the next major resistance band first around ~7,000 sats, with an extended 2026 objective in a 7,000–12,000 sats corridor on the highest time frames. “If that happens, solely looking at the 2M timeframe the logical thing is to attack the next resistance at ~7K,” he wrote, before adding: “Otherwise on highest timeframes everything still looks excellent and points to 7K–12K in 2026, until further notice.” The roadmap is not without nearer-term risks. Dr Cat flagged a developing signal on the weekly Ichimoku cloud: “One more thing to keep an eye on till then: the weekly chart. Which, if doesn’t renew the yearly high by November/December will get a bearish kumo twist. Which still may not be the end of the world but still deserves attention. So one more evaluation is needed at late 2025 I guess.” A bearish kumo twist—when Senkou Span A crosses below Senkou Span B—can foreshadow a medium-term loss of momentum or a period of consolidation before trend resumption. The discussion quickly turned to the real-world impact of the satoshi-denominated targets. When asked what ~7,000 sats might mean in dollar terms, the analyst cautioned that the conversion floats with Bitcoin’s price but offered a rough yardstick for today’s market. “In current BTC prices are roughly $7.8,” he replied. The figure is illustrative rather than predictive: XRP’s USD price at any future XRP/BTC level will depend on BTC’s own USD value at that time. The posted chart—which annotates the likely windows for CS clearance as “Jan/Feb open CS free” and “March close” following interim checkpoints in September/October and November/December—underscores the time-based nature of the call. On multi-month Ichimoku settings, the lagging span has to “work off” past price structure before a clean upside trend confirmation is possible; forcing the move earlier would, in this framework, risk a rejection back into the cloud or beneath the Tenkan-sen. Contextually, XRP/BTC has been basing in a broad range since early 2024 after a multi-year downtrend from the 2021 peak, with intermittent upside probes failing to reclaim the more consequential resistances that sit thousands of sats higher. The 2,442-sats area Dr Cat highlights aligns with the need to keep the lagging span above both contemporaneous price and the conversion line, a condition that tends to reduce whipsaws on very high time frames. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Major XRP Warning: Last Chance To Get In As Accumulation Balloons Whether the market ultimately delivers the 7,000–12,000 sats advance in 2026 will, by this read, depend on two things: XRP/BTC’s ability to hold above the ~2,442-sats pivot as the calendar turns through early 2026, and the weekly chart avoiding or quickly invalidating a bearish kumo twist if new yearly highs are not set before November/December. “If that happens… the logical thing is to attack the next resistance at ~7K,” Dr Cat concludes, while stressing that the weekly cloud still “deserves attention.” As with any Ichimoku-driven thesis, the emphasis is on alignment across time frames and the interaction of price with the system’s five lines—Tenkan-sen, Kijun-sen, Senkou Spans A and B (the “kumo” cloud), and the Chikou Span. Dr Cat’s thread leans on the lagging span mechanics to explain why an earlier “monster leg” is statistically less likely, and why the second half of 2025 will be a critical checkpoint before any 2026 trend attempt. For now, the takeaway is a timeline rather than an imminent trigger: the analyst’s base case defers any outsized XRP outperformance versus Bitcoin until after the CS clears historical overhead in early 2026, with interim monitoring of the weekly cloud into year-end. As he summed up, “On highest timeframes everything still looks excellent… until further notice.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.119. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

XRP has been subjected to bold predictions about its future value in the crypto community this cycle. One such prediction came recently from Versan Aljarrah, better known as Black Swan Capitalist, who noted that the stage is set for XRP to hit the $100 mark. Here, he outlined a roadmap on social media that explains how XRP could scale from today’s modest $3 price levels to $100, $1,000, and even beyond. Big Players Need To Start Stacking According to Aljarrah, XRP’s first push to $100 is dependent on accumulation by big players. This is very important, and recent market dynamics have quietly increased this accumulation trend, especially as institutional investors are now anticipating the launch of a Spot XRP ETF anytime soon. Banks, financial institutions, and long-term investors are believed to have been quietly stacking XRP. This steady absorption of supply is creating the perfect conditions for a supply shock.  Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Major XRP Warning: Last Chance To Get In As Accumulation Balloons On the demand side, XRP’s growing adoption in cross-border settlements and liquidity transfers provides a strong transactional base. When falling supply meets rising utility, the price could escalate quickly, and as such, the analyst noted that the stage is set for the token to hit the $100 mark. Moving beyond $100 requires factors that are far greater than only accumulation by big players. According to Aljarrah, moving from $100 to $1,000 requires widespread integration into the global financial system. In order to reach the $1,000 mark, the altcoin would need to switch from retail speculation and become deeply integrated into the financial system and become the go-to digital collateral and a preferred settlement layer.  In this scenario, banks, stablecoin issuers, and tokenization platforms would rely on XRP for large-scale liquidity management and high-value settlements. This would cause the velocity of money and total value flowing through the XRP network to expand, and each XRP token would carry a larger share of global activity. This demand is enough to push its valuation to $1,000. Recurring $100 And $1,000 Predictions Aljarrah’s forecast aligns with past bold calls from other voices in the XRP community. Analysts such as EGRAG CRYPTO, Austin Hilton, and BarriC, and even discussions within XRP circles on social media and trading platforms, have suggested that $1,000 is possible under adoption in the realm of traditional finance. Related Reading: Pundit Drops Bombshell On XRP Circulating Supply, ‘It’s Smaller Than You Think’ These predictions vary in their timelines and assumptions but converge on the idea that XRP’s price potential is linked directly to its ability to absorb global liquidity. The idea of XRP going beyond $1,000 and reaching as high as $10,000 under full-scale utility, as Aljarrah suggested, is extreme, but it is possible if XRP reaches its full-scale utility and infinite scalability.  At the time of writing, XRP is a long way from reaching the projected $100 and $1,000 price targets. XRP has been inching upward steadily this week. It is now trading at $3.10, up by 2.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

Crypto pundit Pumpius is drawing attention to what he calls the “XRP Endgame,” saying all the key pieces are falling into place for Ripple and its token. According to him, these shifts put XRP in a rare position to rise above other digital assets. Global rules and banking standards are also moving in Ripple’s favor at the same time. Pundit: Institutional Rails And Legal Clarity Cement XRP’s Role Pumpius stresses that Ripple’s victory in its long fight with the SEC is not just a legal win but a turning point. After years in court, XRP now has the strongest legal clarity of any cryptocurrency in the U.S.  Related Reading: Market Expert Says XRP Price At $1,000 Will Happen, But The Timeline Is Different He also points to Ripple’s launch of RLUSD, its enterprise stablecoin backed by reserves at BNY Mellon. Pumpius notes that this connection matters because BNY Mellon safeguards trillions in assets for global giants, including BlackRock and the U.S. Treasury. Tying a stablecoin to XRP’s payment rails creates what he calls a “stable reserve army” that strengthens trust in Ripple’s network. On the banking front, Pumpius explains that Ripple is not only licensed as a money service business but has also applied for the highly difficult New York banking charter. He adds that Ripple has taken it a step further by applying for a Federal Reserve master account, the highest privilege in the U.S. banking system. If granted, Ripple would not just compete with banks but effectively act as one, placing XRP at the center of financial settlements. XRP ETFs, Ripple’s Global Standards, And Tech Drive Convergence Pumpius notes that nearly 20 XRP spot ETFs are awaiting approval. If greenlit, these funds could open the doors to trillions of dollars from institutional investors and push XRP into the ranks of Wall Street assets overnight. Another major shift is the migration to ISO 20022, a global messaging standard that all major banks must adhere to by November. Pumpius points out that XRP has been ready for this for years, meaning RippleNet can easily connect with traditional banking rails the moment the change takes effect.

Ripple benefits as he notes the rise of a supportive political environment. A pro-crypto administration is pushing laws that fit Ripple’s long-term playbook.

Prominent analyst Cheeky Crypto (203,000 followers on YouTube) set out to verify a fast-spreading claim that XRP’s circulating supply could “vanish overnight,” and his conclusion is more nuanced than the headline suggests: nothing in the ledger disappears, but the amount of XRP that is truly liquid could be far smaller than most dashboards imply—small enough, in his view, to set the stage for an abrupt liquidity squeeze if demand spikes. XRP Supply Shock? The video opens with the host acknowledging his own skepticism—“I woke up to a rumor that XRP supply could vanish overnight. Sounds crazy, right?”—before committing to test the thesis rather than dismiss it. He frames the exercise as an attempt to reconcile a long-standing critique (“XRP’s supply is too large for high prices”) with a rival view taking hold among prominent community voices: that much of the supply counted as “circulating” is effectively unavailable to trade. His first step is a straightforward data check. Pulling public figures, he finds CoinMarketCap showing roughly 59.6 billion XRP as circulating, while XRPScan reports about 64.7 billion. The divergence prompts what becomes the video’s key methodological point: different sources count “circulating” differently. Related Reading: Analyst Sounds Major XRP Warning: Last Chance To Get In As Accumulation Balloons As he explains it, the higher on-ledger number likely includes balances that aggregators exclude or treat as restricted, most notably Ripple’s programmatic escrow. He highlights that Ripple still “holds a chunk of XRP in escrow, about 35.3 billion XRP locked up across multiple wallets, with a nominal schedule of up to 1 billion released per month and unused portions commonly re-escrowed. Those coins exist and are accounted for on-ledger, but “they aren’t actually sitting on exchanges” and are not immediately available to buyers. In his words, “for all intents and purposes, that escrow stash is effectively off of the market.” From there, the analysis moves from headline “circulating supply” to the subtler concept of effective float. Beyond escrow, he argues that large strategic holders—banks, fintechs, or other whales—may sit on material balances without supplying order books. When you strip out escrow and these non-selling stashes, he says, “the effective circulating supply… is actually way smaller than the 59 or even 64 billion figure.” He cites community estimates in the “20 or 30 billion” range for what might be truly liquid at any given moment, while emphasizing that nobody has a precise number. That effective-float framing underpins the crux of his thesis: a potential supply shock if demand accelerates faster than fresh sell-side supply appears. “Price is a dance between supply and demand,” he says; if institutional or sovereign-scale users suddenly need XRP and “the market finds that there isn’t enough XRP readily available,” order books could thin out and prices could “shoot on up, sometimes violently.” His phrase “circulating supply could collapse overnight” is presented not as a claim that tokens are destroyed or removed from the ledger, but as a market-structure scenario in which available inventory to sell dries up quickly because holders won’t part with it. How Could The XRP Supply Shock Happen? On the demand side, he anchors the hypothetical to tokenization. He points to the “very early stages of something huge in finance”—on-chain tokenization of debt, stablecoins, CBDCs and even gold—and argues the XRP Ledger aims to be “the settlement layer” for those assets.He references Ripple CTO David Schwartz’s earlier comments about an XRPL pivot toward tokenized assets and notes that an institutional research shop (Bitwise) has framed XRP as a way to play the tokenization theme. In his construction, if “trillions of dollars in value” begin settling across XRPL rails, working inventories of XRP for bridging, liquidity and settlement could rise sharply, tightening effective float. Related Reading: XRP Bearish Signal: Whales Offload $486 Million In Asset To illustrate, he offers two analogies. First, the “concert tickets” model: you think there are 100,000 tickets (100B supply), but 50,000 are held by the promoter (escrow) and 30,000 by corporate buyers (whales), leaving only 20,000 for the public; if a million people want in, prices explode. Second, a comparison to Bitcoin’s halving: while XRP has no programmatic halving, he proposes that a sudden adoption wave could function like a de facto halving of available supply—“XRP’s version of a halving could actually be the adoption event.” He also updates the narrative context that long dogged XRP. Once derided for “too much supply,” he argues the script has “totally flipped.” He cites the current cycle’s optics—“XRP is sitting above $3 with a market cap north of around $180 billion”—as evidence that raw supply counts did not cap price as tightly as critics claimed, and as a backdrop for why a scarcity narrative is gaining traction. Still, he declines to publish targets or timelines, repeatedly stressing uncertainty and risk. “I’m not a financial adviser… cryptocurrencies are highly volatile,” he reminds viewers, adding that tokenization could take off “on some other platform,” unfold more slowly than enthusiasts expect, or fail to get to “sudden shock” scale. The verdict he offers is deliberately bound. The theory that “XRP supply could vanish overnight” is imprecise on its face; the ledger will not erase coins. But after examining dashboard methodologies, escrow mechanics and the behavior of large holders, he concludes that the effective float could be meaningfully smaller than headline supply figures, and that a fast-developing tokenization use case could, under the right conditions, stress that float. “Overnight is a dramatic way to put it,” he concedes. “The change could actually be very sudden when it comes.” At press time, XRP traded at $3.0198.

On-chain data shows that XRP whales are currently offloading their coins, which paints a bearish outlook for the altcoin. This comes as XRP struggles to stay above the psychological $3 level and risks dropping to new lows.  XRP Whales Offload $480 Million Coins In Two Weeks Santiment data shows that XRP whales have dumped 160 million coins ($480 million) since around September 4, when their holdings peaked at around 6.95 billion. Since then, their XRP holdings have dropped from 6.95 billion to around 6.77 billion. These whales hold between 1 million and 10 million tokens.  Related Reading: XRP’s Market Cap Beats Out Heavy Hitters In Climb Into 100 Top Global Assets — Here Are The Numbers There is also a similar pattern among whales holding 10 million to 100 million coins and those holding 100 million coins to 1 billion coins. The 10 million to 100 million XRP whales had begun offloading their coins since last month, with a notable drop from 8.1 billion coins to around 7.77 billion coins as of now.  Meanwhile, XRP whales holding 100 million coins to 1 billion coins had begun offloading their coins since July, with a sharp drop in their holdings from around 10.83 billion during that period to 7.94 billion in August. However, since then, their holdings have remained stagnant, with these whales remaining on the sidelines, neither buying nor selling aggressively.  This development paints a bearish picture for the XRP price as the token could witness further declines as these whales continue to offload their coins. Moreover, these whales are offloading their coins despite projections of a Fed rate cut this week and the upcoming launch of the first spot XRP ETF. This further fuels concerns that these events might turn out to be a ‘sell the news’ event, with a sharp price decline happening once they occur.   A Potential Bearish Cross Lies Ahead For XRP In an X post, crypto analyst Egrag Crypto said that a potential bearish cross lies ahead for the XRP price. He predicted that the altcoin might dip to as low as $2.65 despite an imminent Fed rate cut. He noted that many are anticipating a rate cut but that the markets tend to react in the opposite direction, meaning that XRP could decline after the rate cut instead of rallying.  Related Reading: XRP Price Forms Bull Flag On The Weekly Chart: Analyst’s $23 EOY Target Swims Into View Egrag Crypto further stated that for the XRP price to avoid the bearish cross, it needs to see a close above $3.07 and $3.13. If that happens, then he believes that the altcoin will be in a much stronger position to rally to the upside. The analyst predicted that XRP could rally to as high as $3.7 eventually.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3, up in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price is once again at the center of discussion in the cryptocurrency market after a market expert reiterated their bold long-term forecast. The founders of EasyA, Dom and Phil Kwok, say the token still has the potential to hit $1,000, even if it takes longer than first expected. They explain that the short-term view is not yet clear, but the long-term case for XRP remains strong.  EasyA Founders Stand By $1,000 XRP Price Prediction Dom and Phil Kwok joined host Tony Edward on the Thinking Crypto podcast to share their updated thoughts on XRP. Edward recalled their earlier bold forecast of $1,000 by 2030, which still excites many supporters. Dom Kwok made it clear that the short-term outlook is still “formulating,” meaning they are not ready to set a concrete target for the current cycle. However, he confirmed that the long-term thesis remains intact, and the bold forecast is still alive. Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Debunks XRP Price To $10,000 Claims, Reveals How High It Can Go According to Dom, a significant amount of new money could enter the market once the rules are clarified. When those approvals are in place, Dom believes that large amounts of new capital could flow into XRP.  The market expert noted that the legal teams of hedge funds and asset managers are working out the rules to determine how they can start investing in other tokens. With the SEC lawsuit against Ripple now resolved, many of the barriers that held back institutions are gone. For the EasyA founders, this shift in the investment landscape is key to why the XRP $1,000 price target remains in place. Network Effects And Developer Momentum Strengthen XRP’s Case Phil Kwok spoke about another driver for the XRP’s growth: network effects. He explained that when prices rise, more developers become involved and build. Recent performance shows why the EasyA founders remain confident. The XRP price has climbed 456% since last year, trading above $3, and it is now the best-performing large-cap altcoin.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could See Another Double-Digit Surge This Week As These Developments Take Place Dom also pointed out that price charts matter because falling prices scare off both users and builders. With the XRP price showing steady gains, it is drawing more investors and developers to its network. The short-term outlook is still uncertain, but the long-term belief in $1,000 continues to drive discussion. While Dom and Phil Kwok stand by their bold forecast, other experts, such as Matthew Brienen of CryptoCharged, have suggested that the price could reach that level by 2035 instead. Even with the extended timeline, XRP’s strong position, growing utility, and the attention of institutions and developers all point toward a long-term path of significant growth. For many in the XRP community, the $1,000 price target remains a central rallying point, even if the timeline shifts. Featured image from DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com

Analyst Austin Hilton has sounded a major XRP warning even as the price continues to consolidate. He declared that this is the last chance to get into the altcoin before its price goes on a parabolic run.  Last Chance To Get In On XRP Before Its Q4 Bull Run In a YouTube video, Austin Hilton warned that this is the last chance for investors to accumulate XRP before its major bull run in the last quarter of this year. He noted that September was expected to be a slow month with little action from the altcoin, especially as investors wait on a Fed rate cut.  Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Investors Not To FOMO In, Wait For This To Happen First The analyst further remarked that the altcoin has even outperformed expectations this month, considering that it was able to reclaim the psychological $3 level and has held well above support levels. However, Austin Hilton predicts that a greater run lies ahead for the altcoin, with liquidity set to return in the fourth quarter from both retail and institutional investors.  Another bullish fundamental he alluded to is the fact that XRP is being taken off exchanges, which indicates that crypto whales are actively accumulating the token. This could lead to a supply shock, which could serve as a catalyst for higher prices. Bitcoinist reported that Coinbase’s reserves have crashed by 90% as whales move tokens off the exchange to hold for the long term.  Meanwhile, four major crypto exchanges, including Binance, saw massive demand earlier in the month, leading them to add 1.2 million coins to meet this demand. The CryptoQuant analysis that pointed this out noted that the demand might have been coordinated and might have come from institutions. This comes ahead of the potential XRP ETFs launch, which is bullish for the altcoin’s price.  Institutions Set To Flow Into The Altcoin With ETF Launch Institutions are set to inject new capital into the ecosystem with the launch of the first spot XRP ETF, which is happening this week. REX Shares confirmed that its REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) is coming this week. It noted that this will be the first U.S. ETF to deliver investors spot exposure to XRP.  Related Reading: What To Expect If XRP ETFs Get Approval From The SEC Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated that the REX-Osprey XRP ETF isn’t a “pure” spot ETF. He explained that it will hold spot directly and other spot XRP ETFs from around the world to get its exposure. The analyst also noted that the fund’s prospectus includes language that would allow it to invest in derivatives for exposure if needed. However, that won’t be the primary exposure method.  The spot XRP ETFs could get a SEC approval in October, which is another factor that could serve as a catalyst for higher prices for the cryptocurrency heading into the fourth quarter. Seven fund issuers are currently awaiting the SEC’s approval to offer a 100% spot XRP ETF.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.97, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP community often sees bold predictions about where the token’s price could go, with some supporters suggesting the price might one day hit $10,000. A well-known crypto analyst has explained that such a number is not realistic, even though the XRP price still has room for strong growth. His remarks give investors a more balanced perspective, focusing on what the market can actually support rather than unrealistic expectations.  Analyst Debunks $10,000 XRP Price Target As Unrealistic The discussion picked up after pro-XRP commentator Xaif shared a video featuring market analyst Adam Stokes. In the video, Stokes made it clear that XRP is not going to reach the extreme $10,000 price predictions that often appear in online debates. He explained that he personally owns a large amount of the digital asset and would welcome such gains, but he stressed that it is simply not possible.  Related Reading: Dogecoin Price Could See Another Double-Digit Surge This Week As These Developments Take Place According to him, there is not enough global capital to support that level of valuation. As he put it, “There’s just not enough money on planet Earth for that,” a remark that struck a chord with many XRP holders and gave more weight to the cautious side of the debate. For years, parts of the community have argued about where the XRP price could go, with some hoping for massive numbers far beyond current levels.  The crypto analyst noted that while enthusiasm is strong, investors should not expect unrealistic outcomes that exceed what the market can actually support. By rejecting the idea of a $10,000 XRP, he brought the conversation back to what is achievable in real trading conditions. Stokes Predicts $5 to $7 As Realistic XRP Price Range While he dismissed the extreme forecast, Stokes still gave a positive outlook for XRP. The analyst expects the XRP price to reach $4 without much trouble and has placed a realistic price target of $5 to $7. For many holders, that price move could represent an increase from current levels. Reaching such levels would also mark a brand-new all-time high for XRP, proving that substantial growth is still possible even without chasing extreme numbers. Related Reading: Expert Crypto Trader Says Dogecoin Price Looks ‘Very Good’, Here’s Why Stokes’ view would suggest that the XRP price growth must stem from genuine capital inflows and stronger fundamentals, rather than mere wishful thinking. By highlighting $4 as reachable and setting $5 to $7 as his forecast range, he provided the community with a more precise and practical view of where the market may head, steadily backed by real demand and adoption. His conservative yet optimistic analysis strikes a balance between hope and reality. In this way, the report from Stokes shifts the conversation away from hype and towards achievable expectations that still leave room for excitement about the future of the XRP price.

The XRP price is flashing a bull flag pattern on its weekly chart, hinting at an explosive breakout ahead. A crypto analyst has highlighted $3.6 as the key resistance in this formation, noting that if XRP can clear this level, the path toward an ambitious End of the Year (EOY) target of $23 is expected to come into view, with short-term milestones anticipated along the way.  XRP Price Bull Flag Signals Explosive Potential Crypto market expert Stedas has drawn attention to XRP’s weekly chart, highlighting the formation of a classic bull flag pattern, one of the strongest continuation signals in technical analysis. His XRP price analysis, shared in a post on X social media, shows that the cryptocurrency’s recent sideways movement and consolidation phase are forming the “flag” of the pattern after a sharp rally that created the “flagpole.” This structure typically suggests that a new explosive leg upward could soon unfold once resistance is cleared. Related Reading: XRP Price Gets Tighter: Here’s The Level Keeping It From Price Discovery According to Stedas, the critical level to watch is the $3.6 mark. A decisive break above this resistance could ignite XRP’s next rally phase, potentially unlocking price levels far beyond its current range and former all-time highs. The analyst has identified $6, $13, and even $23 as potential end-of-the-year targets. While these levels may seem ambitious, they align with the behaviours of bull flag patterns, which have historically driven powerful and sustained rallies following periods of consolidation.  Notably, XRP’s momentum picked up after it reclaimed the $3 range earlier this month with strong buying pressure. However the price has since slipped to $2.97 following a 3.5% pullback in the past 24 hours. Despite the dip, Stedas’s bull flag framework suggests that XRP is shifting out of its stagnant zone and is now primed for acceleration.  If market sentiment aligns with the technicals, the cryptocurrency could be looking at its most significant rally in years. The next few weeks may also prove decisive, as the market awaits confirmation of whether the analyst’s current setup can deliver on its bullish outlook.  XRP Retests Fib Zone With $4.6 Target In Play Crypto analyst, Rose Premium Signals, has also shed light on XRP’s structure, focusing on its mid-term outlook. The analysis suggests that XRP has completed a bullish retest, strengthening the case for upside continuation. According to him, XRP has just bounced off the 0.5 – 0.618 Fibonacci retracement zone, a range that often serves as a textbook support level before continuation moves.  Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Descending Trendline Breakout, Here Are The Targets Rose Premium Signals has highlighted an entry zone between $2.85 and $3.05, which XRP has already tested and respected with notable strength. The analyst argues that this confirmation marks a valid long setup backed by clear technical structure, Fibonacci alignment, and broader market resilience. From this zone, the chart projects a climb toward $4.67, which serves as the first official target in this mid-breakout scenario. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP has finally broken above a major resistance zone, igniting fresh bullish momentum across the market. Related Reading: Dogecoin Bulls Eye $0.54 ‘Final Boss’ Breakout, Says Top Analyst After weeks of consolidation, the token closed above the $3.03–$3.08 range, a level that had capped gains for months. This decisive breakout has shifted sentiment, with traders now eyeing higher targets as momentum indicators flash green. XRP Market Performance Analysis The XRP Technical charts confirm the bullish setup. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) has crossed into favorable territory, hovering around 58, a level that historically precedes strong rallies. Volume has also spiked, reflecting growing buyer confidence. Analysts say this confluence of price action and momentum signals could pave the way for XRP’s next big move. Immediate resistance sits at $3.30, with further upside targets at $3.65 and $4.20. On the downside, support is clustered between $2.72 and $3.00, levels bulls must defend to keep the trend intact. XRP's price trends to the upside, but records a decline on short timeframes. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview ETF Speculation Adds Fuel, But Doubts Remain Adding to the buzz is renewed speculation around a potential XRP ETF. Supporters argue that Ripple’s partial legal clarity and XRP’s utility in cross-border payments make it a prime ETF candidate. An approval, they say, could unlock institutional inflows and trigger a powerful demand surge. However, skeptics caution that XRP’s regulatory status remains murky in several jurisdictions. Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s classification is still contested, raising doubts over whether an ETF is likely in the near future. Even if approval comes, some analysts argue that XRP’s utility-focused design may limit its appeal as a traditional investment vehicle. For now, ETF chatter remains speculative, but it has injected optimism into the XRP community as the token tests key levels. Whale Selling and Short-Term Pullbacks Despite the bullish setup, on-chain data shows that whales have offloaded over 160 million XRP in recent weeks. Historically, such large-scale selling reflects profit-taking and risk management by institutional players. Yet, XRP’s ability to stabilize around $3 despite this pressure signals strong retail demand. Short-term pullbacks have also been noted, with traders highlighting key support between $2.87 and $2.95. Analysts suggest these dips could provide entry points for bulls aiming for the next breakout above $3.30. Related Reading: The Big PEPE Price Breakout: Falling Wedge Pattern Points To 64% Rally Overall, XRP’s resilience, improving technicals, and growing adoption narratives suggest the token is gearing up for its comeback.

Many crypto analysts and investors are very bullish on XRP, providing lofty price targets. However, Austin Hilton, a popular crypto commentator, has declared that investors are not bullish enough on XRP, while also admitting that he too had underestimated the token’s true potential. His latest outlook is that XRP’s price upside is far greater than most expect, and this realization comes from examining where Bitcoin could be in the coming years. Related Reading: ETF Dreams For Dogecoin: Serious Possibility Or Just Hype? Bitcoin’s Billion-Dollar Forecast And What It Means For XRP XRP price predictions have mostly always been anchored on discussions and expectations of adoption by banks in cross-border settlement. However, according to Austin Hilton, all these catalysts could be left aside, and XRP’s price could surge massively in the years ahead, especially if Bitcoin fulfills lofty projections.  According to the pundit, the scale of the crypto opportunity in the coming decades is so immense that current investors are not bullish enough and accumulating enough XRP. He referenced a circulating forecast that predicted that Bitcoin could reach as high as $1 billion per coin by 2038, a figure championed by high-profile names such as Michael Saylor. This prediction stunned him, as the highest long-term projections he had seen had put the Bitcoin price at $13 million. Bringing the conversation back to XRP, he noted that if this projected Bitcoin rally pushes the entire market upward, as it has always done, then XRP’s value could rise even more in relative terms. Therefore, XRP has the room to act as a multiplier in comparison to Bitcoin’s moves because of its smaller market cap. The Roadmap To Double And Triple-Digit XRP As noted by Hilton, the $1 billion projection is very speculative, adding that “that absolutely floored me and blew me away.” However, the analyst also pointed out that even shorter-term moves in Bitcoin could have an outsized impact on XRP.  For instance, he predicted that the XRP price will surge to between $15 and $20 if Bitcoin were to reach $200,000 by the end of the year. Furthermore, he added that XRP’s price could realistically climb to triple digits if Bitcoin advances to the $1 million price level in the coming years. In this case, the analyst estimated a potential of at least $100 per coin. Interestingly, these price targets do not even account for catalysts within XRP’s own ecosystem, such as Ripple’s cross-border payment network, acquisitions, and growing adoption among banks. XRP’s upside could be even greater when these factors are factored in. Related Reading: Dogecoin Defies Odds, Jumps 21% Even As ETF Debut Gets Pushed Back The pundit’s bottom line was that XRP holders need to raise their level of conviction. Bitcoin currently makes up around 60% of the entire crypto market, meaning that any explosive growth in its value is almost certain to lift other large market cap cryptocurrencies. XRP has a smaller cap than Bitcoin, so it could post even stronger relative gains in such an environment. At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.14, up by 2.9% in the past 24 hours.

Crypto analyst Borovik has unveiled his 2026 bullish predictions for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. This comes as these three altcoins stand out in the ongoing crypto market rally, recording notable gains.  Analyst Reveals 2026 Prediction For XRP, Dogecoin, and Solana In an X post, Borovik predicted that the XRP price will rally to $23, Dogecoin to $2, and Solana to $1,800 in 2026. He also made predictions for other major coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB, and TRX. The analyst expects BTC to rally to $896,503, ETH to $35,000, BNB to $7,000, and TRX to $2.7.  Related Reading: Analyst Warns XRP Investors Not To FOMO In, Wait For This To Happen First However, the analyst didn’t provide any basis for why the XRP price, Dogecoin, Solana, and these other coins could rally to these ambitious targets. Notably, these coins are currently the top 9 largest cryptos by market cap, excluding stablecoins USDT and USDC. These coins are also currently recording notable gains amid the recent crypto market rally.  The XRP price has reclaimed the psychological $3 level and now looks set to retest higher resistance levels and possibly flip them into support. Dogecoin has also reached its most recent local high of $0.28 and is now looking to hit the $0.30 level. Solana surpassed $240 yesterday, reaching this level for the first time since January.  Fundamentals have played a role in driving this rally for the XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana. REX-Osprey is launching the first XRP and DOGE ETFs next week, under the 40 Act. These funds will still provide spot exposure to both altcoins, although they differ from the conventional spot crypto ETFs. REX-Osprey’s funds will help inject new capital into the XRP and DOGE ecosystem, which could serve as a catalyst for higher prices.  Meanwhile, Solana just saw the launch of a $1.65 billion SOL treasury firm, Forward Industries. The firm completed the private placement earlier this week and immediately began buying SOL through Galaxy Digital, which was one of the investors in the private placement. This has added significant buying pressure on the crypto.  More Gains Ahead For These Altcoins The XRP price, Dogecoin, and Solana are still expected to record major gains ahead amid this crypto market rally. Crypto analyst CasiTrades suggested that the consolidation period is over for XRP and that it is set to rally to a new all-time high (ATH). Her accompanying chart showed that the altcoin could rally above $4.60.  Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $150,000, Ethereum At $8,000, And An Altcoin Season? Analyst Reveals When Crypto analyst Ali Martinez stated that Dogecoin is still in the buy zone and that the bullish breakout will melt faces. His accompanying chart showed that DOGE could rally to as high as $4 if it touches the middle channel of an ascending channel. In a separate analysis, the analyst noted that $1,300 is the primary target for SOL after breaking out of a cup and handle pattern.  Featured image from Getty Images, chart from Tradingview.com

As the altcoin market experiences a resurgence, XRP has struggled to gain momentum, consolidating between $2.70 and $3 for the past two weeks.  Despite the excitement surrounding potential exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that could invest in the altcoin if approved, The Motley Fool has cautioned that the current market correction may persist longer than many anticipate. Warns Of Prolonged Downtrend In a recent analysis, the firm attributed some of XRP’s lackluster performance to a general malaise in the cryptocurrency market, where traders are waiting for Bitcoin (BTC), the market’s leading cryptocurrency, to lead a new price rally.  However, two critical factors suggest that XRP may face a more prolonged downtrend than previously expected. The anticipated launch of new spot crypto ETFs has been a focal point of discussion since the beginning of the year.  Related Reading: Ethereum (ETH) On The Brink Of A Major Supply Crisis: What It Means For Investors Several asset managers have submitted applications to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to create spot XRP ETFs, with Bloomberg estimating a 95% approval chance and online prediction markets estimating 94%. While approval seems likely, the real question revolves around the demand for these ETFs. XRP, currently the world’s third-largest cryptocurrency, undoubtedly has some level of institutional interest, yet the actual inflows tell a different story.  Data indicates that only $1.25 billion flowed into XRP from institutional investors during the first eight months of 2025. JPMorgan Chase has projected that the upcoming ETFs could attract between $4 billion and $8 billion into XRP.  However, the firm asserts that even the lower end of this estimate might not significantly influence XRP’s price action over the long-term, given its current market capitalization of $180 billion. Recovery For XRP May Not Occur Until 2026 While there is considerable optimism among analysts regarding XRP’s future, with some price predictions suggesting it could reach new record prices of up to $4, $5, or even $10, the firms noted that these projections do not account for the risks of short-term price declines.  According to crypto betting platform, Polymarket, there is a 32% chance of XRP dropping to $2.50 this year, a 30% chance it could fall to $2.40, and a 27% chance of plummeting to $2.  Related Reading: BNB Price Surges to Fresh ATH – Can Bulls Push Toward $1K? These statistics indicate that XRP could continue to drift lower over the next few months before any meaningful recovery takes place, potentially not occurring until 2026. Ultimately, The Motley Fool analysis suggests that any upward movement for XRP is likely to depend on Bitcoin’s performance. If Bitcoin fails to reclaim its previous peak by the end of the year, it will be challenging for XRP to initiate its own rally.  As of this writing, the XRP price has recovered the $3.0675 mark, representing a 1.5% surge within the last 24 hours. This pales in comparison to Ethereum’s (ETH) 5% gains within the same time frame.  Featured image from DALL-E, chart from TradingView.com 

XRP is now back trading above $3 and is holding well above the price level. This is on the back of days of consolidating around $2.8. Although price action in the past 24 hours has seen XRP trading back above $3, it is yet to confirm a close to solidify the zone. Against this backdrop, technical analysis of the XRP 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart shows a critical level that could determine whether XRP finally breaks free into price discovery. Resistance Keeping XRP From Price Discovery Although the XRP price is currently inching slowly upwards, technical analysis shows it is yet to break above a technical resistance keeping it from price recovery. According to a technical analysis of the XRP 4-hour candlestick timeframe chart that was posted on the social media platform X by CoinsKid, XRP’s movement in August was capped by a resistance line at $3.3774. This resistance is represented with the white trendline in the price chart below. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Descending Trendline Breakout, Here Are The Targets The importance of this line goes beyond short-term price action. As it stands, this resistance barrier has effectively become the gatekeeper between XRP’s current price action and the possibility of a major breakout for price discovery into new all-time highs.  According to the analyst, clearing this line would mark the point at which XRP could enter price discovery, a stage where there are no previous highs to serve as reference points. Until that happens, XRP is expected to continue oscillating within its established range, with $2.7346 acting as the lower white support line on the chart. Possible Shakeout Before The Break Although XRP has managed to hold above notable price points around $2.8 during its most recent corrections, there’s always the possibility of a strong downside move. CoinsKid also noted that a final shakeout could take place before any bullish breakout occurs.  Related Reading: Is The US Planning To Use XRP To Clear Trillion-Dollar Debt? New Developments Shock Community This shakeout could see the sellers gain temporary momentum and cause the XRP price to break below $2.8 and crash to lower price levels. In this case, the analyst pointed to the orange support trendline at $2.3375 as a possible level that XRP might retest in such a shakeout. CoinsKid linked this possibility to September, earning the reputation of being rektember during bull cycles. However, this September might be different, considering the current dynamics of the crypto market.  At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $3.06, up by 1.8% in the past 24 hours. The analyst noted that XRP’s macro structure will be bullish as long as it holds above the green line at $1.9061. This long-term support has so far underpinned the rally that began in late June. XRP is already up by about 10% from its September open, but it could possibly perform better in the later part of the month. The probability of a Fed rate cut in September is now above 97%, and this could play into a bullish run for XRP and many other large market-cap cryptocurrencies.

XRP Exchange reserves have surged by 1.2 billion in just a day, presenting a bearish outlook for the XRP price. This development comes as the token looks to hold above the psychological $3 level.  XRP Exchange Reserves Increase By 1.2 Billion In Just A Day A CryptoQuant analysis by CryptoOnchain revealed that XRP Exchange reserves jumped by 1.2 billion in a day across four crypto exchanges, with Binance leading the surge. Bithumb, Bybit, and OKX also experienced a major increase in their reserves, a development which CryptoOnchain noted shifted the volume of XRP’s reserves in an unprecedented manner.  Related Reading: Crypto Expert Shares How To Get To $1 Million With XRP Binance saw its reserve holdings increase from around 2.928 billion XRP to 3.538 billion XRP, an increase of over 610 million XRP in a single day. Meanwhile, Bithumb saw its holdings increase from 1.647 billion to 2.519 billion, Bybit’s holdings increased from 188 million to 380 million XRP, and OKX’s XRP reserves jumped from 112,000 to 233 million.  This development is typically bearish, as an increase in crypto exchanges’ reserves indicates that investors are offloading their coins. This would also explain why XRP has underperformed in recent times and has struggled to hold above the psychological $3 price level. During this period, other altcoins like Solana and BNB have outperformed XRP, reaching new local highs. Accumulation Rather Than Sell-offs CryptoOnchain revealed that the increase in XRP Exchange reserves is a case of accumulation rather than the typical sell-offs. The analyst noted that the price chart indicates that this heavy accumulation occurred precisely at the key support level of around $2.73, a level that has previously prevented the altcoin from experiencing massive declines.  Related Reading: XRP Price Setting Up For Next Leg With Expected Targets Reaching $19.27 The analyst then pointed to the RSI and MACD indicators a day after the increase in the XRP Exchange reserves, which shows a decrease in selling pressure on the token.CryptoOnchain explained that this could mean that the heavy buying by exchanges was aimed at accumulation rather than immediate injection into the market.  CryptoOnchain also noted that the pattern of these large accumulations across the crypto exchanges and at a critical support level could be a sign of institutional coordination or an upcoming event. Notably, the XRP ETFs could launch next month, which would represent a significant development for the XRP price.  The analyst stated that if the current support holds and buying volumes continue, the XRP price could rally to higher resistances at $3.34 and $3.58. However, CryptoOnchain warned that if the support is broken, selling pressure could turn the increase in XRP Exchange reserves into an opportunity for massive supply.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3.06, up over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Crypto markets are “on the edge” of a broad altcoin breakout, with XRP, Dogecoin, and Cardano positioned to lead, according to technical strategist CryptoInsightUK. In a video analysis released today, the analyst argues that structural signals across major charts—supported by improving macro conditions—tilt the risk-reward toward a decisive upside move, provided US inflation data doesn’t deliver a negative surprise. The setup begins with Bitcoin grinding higher into range highs while still sitting in what he calls “a position of potential reversal,” a juncture he links to today’s US CPI print after a softer-than-expected PPI reading. “If CPI comes in weak today, I think the markets will rip,” he said, framing inflation as the swing factor that could unlock risk appetite across crypto. Cardano, Doge, XRP Ready For Lift-Off He contends the strongest signals are emerging away from Bitcoin and Ethereum. On Ethereum, liquidity “still” sits below price around $4,100, with a pocket of resting orders above, leaving open the possibility of “a quick flush… to take that” before higher levels are attacked. “How much of a drop would we need to sweep this liquidity? Six percent,” he said, adding that the base of recent transactions “looks pretty good as a support,” even if a brief downside wick cannot be ruled out. Related Reading: Tokenized Stocks Could Be Coming To NASDAQ, Will XRP Benefit From This? The case for altcoins rests largely on visible liquidity concentrations and higher-timeframe structures. Cardano (ADA), he said, exhibits a favorable imbalance with “a… load of liquidity” stacked above “around one dollar,” and additional magnets in the $1.21 and $1.40 areas if momentum expands. He emphasized the sequence of higher lows and higher highs that preceded a consolidation, a pattern he compared across several charts. Dogecoin (DOGE), in his view, mirrors the same anatomy on a larger timeframe: a prior higher-high/higher-low sequence, a tightening range, and “liquidity above us,” with a push through $0.29 opening a path to targeting $0.45. “I’ve been saying for a while tokens like DOGE look like they are going to absolutely send it,” he said. For XRP, he argued that price action has “led the cycle” and recently broke a well-tracked downtrend on the daily and four-hour charts, while shorter-term liquidity maps now show concentrations overhead. Beyond single names, he anchored his thesis in market-wide breadth gauges. He highlighted “Total 3”—the combined market capitalization of all crypto assets excluding Bitcoin and Ethereum—pressing against prior highs and “knocking at the door… for price discovery.” In a closely related lens, he said “Total 2” (market cap ex-Bitcoin) is one incremental push away—“half a percent higher”—from a highest-ever weekly close, with three days left in the candle. The evolving formations, he added, can be interpreted as an “ascending wedge” that morphs into a “cup and handle” after a textbook Wyckoff-style accumulation and back-test, the kind of structural progression that often resolves with a powerful range break. The Core Thesis Rotation dynamics are at the core of his call. Drawing on an ETH-vs-BTC dominance composite, he said the tape “looks like weakness” for the pair, with heavier volume on down moves in that ratio—an indication, he believes, that capital is migrating from Bitcoin and Ethereum into the broader altcoin complex. “If [Bitcoin] dominance breaks down… it’s better for altcoins,” he said. “As long as capital’s flowing into the market, I don’t really mind which starts to outperform which… but if we have a significant rise in Bitcoin’s price and a drop in dominance, it means that altcoins are going to be absolutely sending it.” Related Reading: Solana And XRP ETFs Smash New Records In Canada At the same time, he flagged the near-term fork in the road. Markets are testing “decision” levels into macro data, and a brief liquidity sweep lower—on Bitcoin and ETH in particular—remains plausible before any sustained impulse. “We’re not in a breakout territory here yet,” he cautioned. “We’ve seen the first signs of it… [and] we could reject here and consolidate for a little bit longer… but one catalyst here and it’s green season in my opinion for crypto generally.” Throughout the analysis, the analyst returned to a handful of price signposts traders are likely to watch: ADA gravity around $1.00 with follow-ups near $1.21 and $1.40; DOGE confirmation above ~$0.29 and then $0.45 as the next objective; and XRP’s break of descending resistance with liquidity pools sitting overhead on intraday maps. If the macro side cooperates, his base case is unambiguous. “I think the breakout is imminent,” he said, pointing to synchronized strength across Total 2 and Total 3, gold’s recent breakout, and equities at or near all-time highs. “This is the sort of time where we’re going to break out,” he added. “Massive breakouts” in altcoins, when they come, often unfold as “a few weeks or a few days of massively green candles.” Even so, he closed with a reminder that timing remains hostage to catalysts. “It’s decision time for the market,” he said. “Could reject here and consolidate… but one catalyst here and it’s green season.” At press time, XRP traded at $2.99.

Ripple has carried out a series of large RLUSD burns in recent weeks to remove millions of the stablecoin from circulation. According to data from the RLUSD burn tracker @RL_Tracker, more than 2.7 million RLUSD were recently destroyed in a single transaction, the biggest burn in many weeks.  Ripple Burns Massive Amounts Of RLUSD Crypto burns are not new to the crypto industry, especially when it comes to stablecoins. Interestingly, data from the RLUSD burn tracker, @RL_Tracker, has revealed an uptick in the amount of RLUSD burned in the past two weeks, which is worth noting. Related Reading: What Does AMM Liquidity Pools Mean For XRP And RLUSD Holders? Ripple Exec Answers Particularly, the latest data from @RL_Tracker, which was revealed in a post on the social media platform X, shows that 2,714,248 RLUSD were recently burned at RLUSD Treasury. Blockchain records from on-chain analytics platform Etherscan confirm that these tokens were transferred into a null address from which they cannot be recovered or used, effectively reducing the outstanding supply for good. This was not an isolated occurrence. Ripple has been carrying out a string of large burns in recent weeks, with notable examples including two transactions of 1,000,000 RLUSD each on September 3 and another 1,000,000 RLUSD burn on August 29. Together, these actions have brought the total burned supply to about six million RLUSD tokens in a very short span However, these reductions have been characterized by issuances of millions of tokens in the past few days. Most recently, @RL_Tracker reported that 312,000 RLUSD were minted by the RLUSD Treasury in the past 24 hours.  What’s Going On With RLUSD Burns? This back-and-forth between burning and minting is part of Ripple’s supply management cycle of RLUSD, where tokens are constantly adjusted in response to market demand and redemptions.  Related Reading: Is Ripple Dumping XRP? Pundit Calls Out Founders, Threatens To Take Action RLUSD is pegged 1:1 to the US dollar and operates on both the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. Like other asset-backed stablecoins, it is fully collateralized by fiat reserves and subject to monthly attestations. When demand for RLUSD rises, Ripple issues new tokens into circulation. On the other hand, excess supply is no longer needed when tokens are redeemed for dollars, and Ripple burns the surplus by sending it to an inaccessible address. Stablecoin mints and burns are not unique to Ripple. Tether, the largest stablecoin issuer, regularly conducts large-scale mints and burns of USDT to adjust supply. The key difference from normal cryptocurrency burns, such as those seen with Shiba Inu, is that stablecoin burns are not carried out to create scarcity, which contributes to price action.  At present, RLUSD’s total supply is around 728.7 million tokens and all minted tokens are actively being circulated. The stablecoin has a market cap of about $728 million and has seen its trading volume climb above $87 million in the past 24 hours. It also continues to hold its $1 peg firmly.

Crypto analyst Whale Guru has outlined his targets for altcoins on their next massive pump to the upside. He predicted that the Ethereum price would reach as high as $25,000 and expects the XRP price to reach triple digits.  XRP Price To Reach $300 As Ethereum Rallies To $25,000 In an X post, Whale Guru predicted that the XRP price would reach $300 as Ethereum rallies to $25,000. He highlighted these price levels as his targets for the next pump to the upside. Meanwhile, the analyst also predicted that SOL would reach $2,000, DOGE would reach $5, SUI would reach $10, HYPE would reach $400, WLFI, and PENGU would both reach $10. Related Reading: XRP Price Confirms Descending Trendline Breakout, Here Are The Targets However, Whale Guru didn’t provide any basis for these ambitious targets for Ethereum, XRP, and the other crypto assets he mentioned. Notably, a rally to $300 for the XRP price represents a 100x increase from its current price. This is one of the largest gains among all the cryptocurrencies, the analyst mentioned.  There are several factors that members of the XRP community have alluded to, which could spark massive gains for the XRP price, although the $300 target remains far off. One of these factors includes the imminent launch of the XRP ETFs. Community member Finance Bull recently highlighted the ETFs as what could be the next institutional catalyst for XRP.  The ETFs are expected to have a similar impact to the one the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs had on BTC and ETH, respectively. Notably, Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg has predicted that the XRP ETFs could record up to $5 billion in inflows in their first month of trading, which is bullish for the XRP price. He also believes that the XRP ETFs could outperform the Ethereum ETFs.  XRP Targets $4.50 As Momentum Builds Crypto analyst CasiTrades has provided a more conservative target for the XRP price, stating that it is targeting $4.50 as the consolidation period ends and momentum builds. In an X post, she revealed that the altcoin has broken out of its months-long consolidation and that confirmation of the breakout is occurring with the test of the $3 level now in play.  Related Reading: XRP RSI Remains Bullish As Support Levels Hold, Price Eyes Break Above $3.6 CasiTrades stated that the next areas to watch are $3.08 and $3.27 when the XRP price clears $3. She indicated that the key is for major Fibonacci levels to turn into support, so a breakout to either of those prices will set up a clean backtest to the key Fib levels. These key levels are the .382 support at $3 and the .236 resistance at $3.25. She added that the Fibonacci extensions point toward the $4.50 zone as a breakout target.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $3, up almost 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

The XRP price is drawing attention this week as traders watch for signs of a potential upward move. Market analyst Egrag Crypto says the token is pressing hard against a falling wedge pattern and could be close to breaking out. According to the analyst, the lines are converging on the current price, and this could be the stage where momentum shifts quickly. XRP Price Pushes Toward Breakout From Falling Wedge Egrag Crypto says XRP is standing on the edge of what he calls a “significant structural breakout.” For weeks, the token has been moving inside a falling wedge, a formation that often shows pressure building before a breakout. Currently, that pattern is tightening, and the lines are closing in on the price. He believes this is the moment when bulls need to step in with strength. Related Reading: XRP Influencer Addresses Rumors Of Apple’s $1.5 Billion Buy, What’s The Truth? Egrag says the mood among buyers is clear. Bulls are not only waiting; they are preparing for a rally. Momentum is starting to emerge in real time, and every slight upward push indicates that buyers are poised to test the resistance. The wedge formation makes this moment more critical because it often signals that a big move is near. According to his analysis, the XRP chart is no longer in a quiet phase. Instead, it is pressing against a level where pressure could burst. If the wedge breaks to the upside, XRP could start a new bullish phase that traders have been waiting for. Egrag’s message to the XRP community is it is time to rally.  $3.13 Becomes The Key Level To Watch Even with the breakout forming, Egrag Crypto points out that one level matters more than the rest. That number is $3.13, and it is the point that could decide the entire move. He explains that without a clear break above $3.13, the setup will not confirm its strength. But if bulls manage to push past it, XRP could open the door to a new wave of powerful upward momentum. Related Reading: Could A Dogecoin ETF Be Launched This Week? This Expert Thinks So Egrag makes it clear that $3.13 is not just a chart number. It is the barrier between a market that is still uncertain and one that is ready to operate. Crossing it would prove that bulls are in control, and it could build the trust traders need to stay in the rally. For many, this price line has already become the target to watch day and night. He says the XRP community must “stay steady and strong” as the market approaches this key level. In his view, this is a turning point that could lift the token far higher than people expect. “Together we rise,” he reminds holders, pointing out that unity could make the difference when the breakout comes.

With the recent market recovery, the XRP price has been able to confirm an important Wave 3 move that was earlier highlighted by crypto analyst Dark Defender. Since this move has been completed, it is now time for the cryptocurrency to move into the next stage of the analysis. At this junction, there is a simple roadblock to a continuation of the rally and that lies at $3.13. In the follow-up analysis, Dark Defender reveals what could happen if the XRP price were to either break or get rejected at this level. What To Expect From The XRP Price In the analysis, Dark Defender highlighted that there is a possibility of some downside after the XRP price hits the 3rd Wave target. This 3rd Wave target sits between $3.01 and $3.07, and the initial run-up on Tuesday had seen the cryptocurrency quickly clear this level. Related Reading: XRP Price Setting Up For Next Leg With Expected Targets Reaching $19.27 The next wave that could trigger the expected downtrend is Wave 4, which is historically bearish. This is not out of the ordinary, as a bullish wave, such as the 3rd Wave, will usually see a correction. This correction can often present an opportunity for bulls to reload while the Wave 4 plays out. However, there is another important wave in this mix, and that is the E Wave. As the crypto analyst explains, for this wave to play out, it would be entirely dependent on where the price goes. From here, the next major level is $3.13, and that is the make-or-break level. Now, if the bulls are able to completely break the resistance at $3.13 and continue further, then it would invalidate any bearish wave. But in the case of a full rejection and the price bouncing back, then the E wave could be triggered for the XRP price. Related Reading: Bitcoin Price To $150,000, Ethereum At $8,000, And An Altcoin Season? Analyst Reveals When In the event of an E Wave trend, the XRP price would be expected to see a steep decline. This would go through all of the important Fibonacci levels, and the crypto analyst explains that it could send the XRP price tumbling back down to as low as $2.74. Nevertheless, for now, the D wave remains in play, suggesting stronger dominance from the bulls. Once the Wave 4 is completed, then the last and final wave, the Wave 5, is expected to play out. This is historically the most bullish wave and could be responsible for a break above $3.13. Featured image from Dall.E, chart from TradingView.com

Ripple has once again caught headlines after quietly transferring 15 million XRP tokens just hours after securing a legal win against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Related Reading: Institutional Adoption Rises: 21X Brings Chainlink Into Europe’s Tokenized Securities Market The transaction, recorded on Ledger #98,741,614, carried a negligible fee of 0.000015 XRP, showcasing the network’s efficiency. While Ripple has not provided an official statement, analysts suggest the move could be tied to liquidity preparation for exchanges, settlement mechanisms, or the expansion of Ripple’s On-Demand Liquidity (ODL) corridors. The timing, so close to its courtroom victory, has fueled speculation that Ripple is positioning itself for a new phase of institutional adoption. Whales Watch Closely as XRP Price Slips Despite the optimism around Ripple’s legal clarity, XRP has not been immune to market pressure. Currently, XRP trades at $2.96, down 1.67% in the past 24 hours, with daily trading volume falling over 26% to $4.94 billion. Analysts warn that this decline in both price and volume could signal waning short-term momentum. XRP's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Chart data highlights a critical battleground for XRP between $0.65–$0.68 resistance levels and support zones at $0.60 and $0.55. A decisive breakout above $0.70 could push XRP toward $0.80, while failure to hold support risks deeper corrections. Notably, whale activity and institutional interest continue to build, with XRP futures open interest surging to $7.94 billion, underscoring expectations of heightened volatility. ETFs, RLUSD, and the Bigger Picture Crypto analyst Zach Rector recently highlighted that Ripple’s restructuring of institutional XRP sales during its SEC case could shape the framework for potential XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs). With ETF issuers unable to source XRP directly from Ripple, centralized exchanges and OTC desks may become the main supply channels, creating added pressure on secondary market liquidity. Meanwhile, the adoption of Ripple USD (RLUSD) in Japan, facilitated through a partnership with SBI Group, has strengthened XRP’s fundamentals. RLUSD requires XRP for transaction fees, further boosting on-chain demand. Whale accumulation and growing institutional exposure through platforms like the CME also support a more bullish long-term outlook.

XRP has entered a shocking new phase of development, with reports confirming its ledger’s use in debt tokenization. This development comes when the United States (US) faces a multitrillion-dollar debt problem, drawing attention to the XRP Ledger’s (XRPL) potential role in modernizing how debt is managed and settled on a larger scale. As adoption for XRPL accelerates, its integration into debt-related infrastructure highlights how blockchain technology is beginning to intersect with the world’s largest financial challenges.  XRP Ledger: A Potential National Debt Solution Crypto analyst SMQKE has alerted the crypto community to a shocking World Economic Forum (WEF) report, highlighting the XRP Ledger’s active use in tokenizing debt instruments. The report shared in an X social media post on Monday disclosed that Aurum Equity Partners has launched the world’s first combined private equity and tokenized debt fund, valued at $1 billion, using XRPL as its foundation. Related Reading: Ripple’s XRP Ledger Just Introduced A Pivotal Update In Its Quest For Dominance This fund was designed to fuel global data center investment, enhancing liquidity and investor access through secondary markets. Moreover, the launch of the tokenized debt fund is being hailed as a turning point because it combines Zoniqx’s tokenization technology with the speed, security, and efficiency of the XRP Ledger.  Crypto analyst ‘X Finance Bull’ also described this recent development as a reconstruction of market architecture, where private equity, debt, and blockchain technology converge into a single system. He argued that XRPL’s ability to link equity and debt tokenization marks the beginning of a new financial standard—one that lowers barriers and offers exposure to markets previously reserved for institutions.  More interestingly, as concerns grow over the US national debt, now exceeding $36 trillion, the potential for the XRP Ledger to be used as a solution remains uncertain. In theory, by enabling the tokenization of debt on a secure and transparent network, XRPL introduces the possibility of transforming trillion-dollar debt obligations into a more liquid, tradeable, and efficiently settled asset.  XRP’s Expanding Role And Bullish Market Outlook In light of XRPL’s latest debt tokenization breakthrough, X Finance Bull released an optimistic forecast for XRP’s price performance. He argued that with the ledger now carrying a $1 billion tokenized equity and debt fund, entire sectors within this market are beginning to migrate onto XRP rails. As a result, this positions XRPL as the backbone of a new financial system.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized The crypto analyst has also indicated that XRP’s price potential is far greater than current expectations. While some anticipate a move toward $10, X Finance Bull projects that XRP could rise into the four-figure range as tokenized debt and equity markets expand into trillions of dollars. Whether or not the forecasted target proves accurate, the recent Aurum debt fund launch underscores that XRPL is already operating at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain technology.

The Nasdaq has filed a proposed rule change with the SEC to list tokenized stocks, marking a significant integration of blockchain technology into traditional finance (TradFi). Market experts have predicted that XRP is one of the crypto assets that stand to benefit massively from this move.  Nasdaq Files To List Tokenized Stocks Nasdaq has filed with the SEC to allow investors to trade tokenized stocks on its platform. The exchange has proposed that these securities could be traded in either their traditional form, without using blockchain technology, or in their tokenized form, utilizing blockchain technology. Furthermore, the platform proposes that shares of these tokenized securities should be traded in the same order book as the traditional ones and with the same execution priority.  Related Reading: Analyst Predicts The XRP Price If 10% Of Global Assets Are Tokenized Meanwhile, Nasdaq proposes that the market participants who wish to clear and settle their trades will note their preference by selecting a flag that the exchange will designate for this purpose. When the market participant selects the tokenized flag, Nasdaq will then communicate this to The Depository Trust Company, which is in charge of clearing trades. This move means that blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, Solana, and the XRP Ledger (XRPL), could experience increased adoption as companies transition to tokenizing their stocks. Notably, Galaxy Digital, last week, became the first Nasdaq-listed company to tokenize its common stock on Solana.  Experts such as Tom Lee have made a case for why Ethereum will be the go-to platform for companies to tokenize their stocks on. Meanwhile, Solana and the XRP Ledger (XRPL) also stand out due to their speed and cost-efficiency. Solana recently passed the Alpenglow upgrade proposal, which will reduce transaction finality. Meanwhile, the XRPL has introduced new compliance amendments, which will incentivize institutions to adopt the network.  All Tokenized Assets Will “Route Through XRP” In an X post, Versan Aljarrah, the founder of Black Swan Capitalist, commented on Nasdaq’s filing to list tokenized stocks and declared that all tokenized assets will eventually route and settle through XRP as the bridge currency. He added that this means trillions in value will move on-chain, possibly through the XRP Ledger.  Related Reading: Pundit Warns XRP Investors Not To Sell Their Tokens In The Next 3 Months Aljarrah reiterated that all value flows through XRP. Notably, crypto analyst Costa recently predicted that the XRP price could reach $473,214 if 10% of global assets get tokenized on the XRPL.  This came as Ripple predicted that 10% of global assets will be tokenized by 2030. Ripple has so far made great strides in its tokenization push, although no notable stock has been tokenized on the XRPL as of yet. However, it is worth noting that Ondo Finance’s tokenized U.S. Treasuries fund is integrated on the XRPL.  At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.95, down in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.

Canada’s newest altcoin exchange-traded funds have raced to category leadership, with the Solana-focused SOLQ crossing C$300 million in assets under management (AUM) and the XRP-focused XRPQ topping C$150 million, according to a Tuesday announcement. The issuer said both funds now hold the largest AUM in their respective categories among Canadian peers, underscoring a sharp acceleration in institutional and retail demand for regulated exposure to Solana and XRP. Investor Demand Surges For 3iQ’s SOL And XRP ETFs SOLQ, a Toronto Stock Exchange–listed Solana staking ETF that debuted in April, benefited from marquee early allocations. The firm disclosed a lead investment from SkyBridge Capital and additional commitments from ARK Invest, which bought SOLQ through its ARKW and ARKF ETFs—moves it touted as the first US-listed ETFs to gain exposure to Solana and its staking rewards via a Canadian vehicle. Management fees on SOLQ remain waived until April 2026, the issuer added. Related Reading: XRP Liquidity Flashpoint: Analyst Eyes Rapid Move To $4.50 XRPQ launched in June and, with a 0% management fee for its first six months, has quickly scaled to more than C$150 million AUM; the Toronto Stock Exchange’s new-issuer log shows the product coming to market on June 18, 2025. The issuer said Ripple participated as an early investor. “The momentum behind SOLQ and XRPQ demonstrates that Canadian investors and global leaders in the digital asset space are embracing secure, transparent, and regulated access to digital assets,” said Pascal St-Jean, the issuer’s president and CEO. “As the market leaders, these ETFs exemplify [our] commitment to meeting investor demand while setting a benchmark for innovation in the global market.” Related Reading: XRP Set to Lead Altcoin Boom With Explosive $9.69 Target, Says Analyst The rise of these funds comes amid a broader wave of Canadian altcoin ETF launches this year. Multiple issuers have introduced spot Solana products—some with staking features and introductory fee waivers—while the domestic XRP lineup has also expanded, creating a competitive field against which SOLQ and XRPQ now claim the AUM crown. Institutional signaling has been a secondary driver. ARK’s purchase framed SOLQ as a vehicle for capturing both SOL price performance and on-chain staking economics in a regulated wrapper. “Solana represents a high-performance blockchain infrastructure with significant potential for decentralized applications and finance,” ARK’s Cathie Wood said when confirming the investment earlier this year. Contextually, Canada remains a first mover on listed crypto exposures beyond bitcoin and ether. In the United States, investors only recently gained a Solana ETF with staking economics via the REX-Osprey SSK product, while several US spot XRP ETF filings await regulatory decisions later in 2025—developments that help explain the cross-border interest in Canadian listings in the interim. A SSK-style Dogecoin ETF by REX-Osprey is set to launch this Thursday. At press time, XRP traded at $2.955. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
