Related Reading: Signal That Sparked 100% Litecoin Rally In 2017 Has Been Triggered Again He explained that this gives the technical picture a bullish bias for Litecoin. The analyst added that a close above $120 at the end of 2025 would trigger a buy signal for LTC. From a fundamentals angle, LTC just got its first spot ETF in the U.S., which provides a bullish outlook for the altcoin. However, it is worth noting that the ETF is currently lagging behind the Solana and Hedera ETFs in terms of inflows. Meanwhile, Severino had also painted a bullish picture for Litecoin, drawing comparisons between the LTC and ZCash charts. That suggested that LTC could witness a similar parabolic rally to ZEC’s, which has recorded a 10x rally from its low of around $40. This was around the time when the analyst revealed that LTC was at the |final boss resistance” based on the monthly SuperTrend. Crypto analyst Hal also recently provided a bullish outlook for Litecoin, predicting a 300x rally. However, the analyst stated that a drop to around $30 was likely before LTC’s parabolic rally. He urged investors to take advantage of such a dip, as they could enjoy massive gains when LTC breaks out to the upside after this long period of consolidation. 99% Chance Of A Rally Above $300 Crypto analyst XForce stated that Litecoin has a 99% chance of rallying above $300 as it is now approaching nine years of accumulation. His accompanying chart showed that LTC could reach $345 on this projected uptrend, which is expected to happen sometime next year. Meanwhile, a drop below $39 could invalidate this prediction.

Bitcoinsensus noted that the altcoin has already seen six years of sideways consolidation, suggesting that it was well primed for this projected parabolic rally to the upside. The analyst’s accompanying chart showed that LTC could reach these targets next year. At the time of writing, the Litecoin price is trading at around $94, down over 5% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from iStock, chart from Tradingview.com

According to reports, Evernorth — a Ripple-backed treasury firm — has agreed to merge with Armada Acquisition Corp II and plans to list under the XRPN ticker. Related Reading: Forget Billions—XRP Could Hit Trillions, Leading Expert Says The SPAC deal aims to raise $1 billion to build what Evernorth calls a large XRP treasury. Ripple and co-founder Chris Larsen contributed XRP to the project. Nine days after the SPAC announcement, reports said Evernorth had already received $1 billion worth of XRP. The merger is targeted to close in Q1 2026. On Contributions & Cash Buying Because the early inputs were paid in XRP rather than cash, immediate upward pressure on exchange order books did not happen. Market purchases require fiat or cash to be placed into public markets. SBI’s announced $300 million cash pledge is one example of money that could be used to buy XRP outright. But so far most of the headline amounts are XRP moved into a treasury, not fresh cash hitting exchanges. It is my understanding the new @evernorthxrp venture will raise $1BN through XRP direct investment, as announced and as we’ve seen on the chain. So you thinking “how will that affect open market XRP?”. Let me explain. There next plan is to IPO on stock exchange. This will raise… — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 27, 2025 Analyst Signals Incoming ‘Shock’ Vincent Van Code, a software engineer and active voice in the XRP community, told followers on X that the bigger event may still be ahead. He said the IPO itself could bring billions in new cash. If those funds are later used to buy XRP on the open market, he warned, existing supply could tighten and a “supply shock” might follow. Van Code did not offer a fixed timetable. Other commentators, including a market voice known as Nietzbux, have already framed the development as strongly bullish for XRP. Why The Timing Matters Based on reports, the sequence is what could change prices: cash raised first, then purchases on public markets. If that order is reversed — cash arrives and large buys follow quickly — liquidity could be tested. Exchanges have varying depth. A single large buyer can move prices more in thin markets than in thick ones. That is simple market mechanics. It is also why some community members are watching the SPAC schedule closely. There will come a time where XRP and XRPL is just where you keep most of your wealth. That is called Treasury. Hint hint. — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) October 17, 2025 Related Reading: Dogecoin Flashback: Mirror Move Hints At Record-Breaking Surge XRP’s Role And The Broader Narrative A number of developers and analysts now speak of XRP not only as a payment bridge but also as a treasury asset inside the XRPL ecosystem. Van Code suggested that a time may come when people keep a big share of their wealth in XRP and on the XRP Ledger. Ripple’s CTO David Schwartz has emphasized similar ideas about self-custody and on-ledger utility. Those themes are being reused as part of the argument for long-term demand.
