The latest analysis circulating is that the Canadian fintech analysts are becoming increasingly bullish on XRP, pointing to a surge in real-world utility that could reshape the digital payments landscape. The financial institutions have continued to adopt blockchain-based settlement systems. This growing utility has led several Canadian researchers to issue an explosive new forecast. How XRP’s Real-world Utility Is Expanding Faster Than Market Valuations Canada’s fintech landscape is shifting, and XRP is rapidly emerging as one of its most influential digital assets. According to a video shared by crypto analyst Skipper_xrp, a Canadian news article highlighted that XRP could become the most compelling fintech play in the entire crypto sector and that it could reach as high as $2,000 by 2027. Related Reading: XRP Price About $1,000 Is A Necessity, Analyst Claims It is worth noting that XRP is no longer just a speculative asset in Canada. It’s now being viewed by Canadian analysts and market observers as a tangible fintech tool powering real change in cross-border payment, with a clear path to becoming a cornerstone of modern finance by 2027. The article also predicts that XRP could become the strongest fintech play in crypto. Skipper_xrp added that RACO, which is known as the beloved raccoon-themed token, has quickly become one of the most talked-about projects and is making a splash on the XRP Ledger. While RACO is gaining traction as more users adopt it for transactions, it is emerging as a standout choice within the XRPL ecosystem. Furthermore, the RACO tokens are now officially available for community members to get early access and be part of the project’s growth. Why The Financial Institutions Can Now Offer XRP Access With Confidence In a major regulatory breakthrough of the Ripple Ledger, analyst Skipper_xrp has also stated that the US Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) has confirmed that the national banks are now legally permitted to conduct riskless principal transactions in crypto-assets. This riskless principal activity will open the door for the token to be used in these regulated operations and give banks a compliant way to facilitate XRP-based trades and payments. Related Reading: Here’s Why XRP Positions Itself As Treasury-Grade Rail For Institutions Moving Trillions Furthermore, with the OCC’s confirmation, US national banks can now act as intermediaries for XRP transactions in a fully regulated manner without taking any market risk. This makes it easier for institutional and retail clients to access and use XRP through trusted, regulated financial institutions. According to Skipper_xrp, this ruling provides regulatory clarity and gives XRP a competitive edge in the US market, making it the perfect asset for banks to integrate into their service offerings. Such a move could power increased adoption and liquidity for the asset. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com

XRP is going through the week under a renewed wave of speculation as two separate developments, a MoonPay purchase that revived a long-running community meme and the Cboe approval of a new spot ETF, pushed the token back into the spotlight. Related Reading: More Eurozone Countries Will Buy Bitcoin, Says Coinbase’s Institutional Chief Together, these events have fueled debate about whether XRP is on the cusp of new institutional momentum or simply caught in another cycle of community-driven enthusiasm. XRP's price trends to the downside on the daily chart. Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview Community Signals Collide With Market Memes A routine Apple Pay purchase posted by MoonPay, showing a buy of exactly 589 XRP, triggered renewed excitement across XRP circles. The figure “589” has carried symbolic weight since 2018, when an anonymous user promoted the number as a future price target. Its reappearance, coming shortly after the Solana Foundation also posted “589” without context, set off widespread speculation about potential hidden messaging or coordinated marketing. The resurgence of the meme also comes amid new discussions around XRP’s long-term value. Several analysts, including the anonymous educator X Finance Bull, argue that the shift toward tokenized financial markets could significantly increase demand for XRPL-based settlement. SEC Chair Paul Atkins recently reinforced the idea that U.S. markets will move fully on-chain within a few years, a statement that many in the XRP community interpreted as validation of XRPL’s positioning in enterprise-grade infrastructure. Still, XRP’s price action remains under pressure. After a Federal Reserve rate cut accompanied by a hawkish outlook, ETF inflows slowed sharply, and XRP slipped below key moving averages, trading near the critical $2 support zone. Cboe Clears XRP’s Next ETF, And Institutional Interest Builds While community narratives dominated social media, regulatory progress offered a more tangible catalyst. The Cboe BZX Exchange approved the listing of the 21Shares XRP ETF (TOXR), moving it closer to launch. The fund carries a 0.3% fee, uses a multi-custodian security model, and has been seeded with 100 million XRP, roughly $226 million, from Ripple Markets. The approval comes as XRP-focused ETFs gain traction in the U.S., with at least four funds now active and inflows exceeding $900 million in recent weeks. Analysts note that institutional engagement has grown since regulators formally recognized that secondary-market XRP transactions do not constitute securities trades. Momentum around the ETF space intensified further after FalconX acquired 21Shares, giving the issuer expanded access to institutional distribution, market-making, and liquidity infrastructure. Market observers say the merger could accelerate capital inflows if TOXR begins trading in the coming days. Analysts Split on Outlook as XRP Holds Key Levels Despite the renewed attention, analysts remain divided. EGRAG Crypto maintains a bullish long-term view, citing consolidation patterns reminiscent of XRP’s previous accumulation phases. Others caution that expectations, particularly around community-driven targets, remain far ahead of current fundamentals. Broader adoption through RippleNet, expanding partnerships, and growing interest in XRP-based products such as ETFs and stablecoins continue to strengthen XRP’s institutional narrative. Still, macro uncertainty, legislative delays in the U.S., and competition in the digital-asset payments space present ongoing challenges.

Crypto analyst Javon Marks has provided a bullish outlook for the XRP price, predicting that it could rally to $14, frontrunning Bitcoin in the process. He alluded to a historical trend in which XRP outperformed BTC, which is why the analyst is confident that such price action can play out again. Analyst Predicts XRP Price To Rise To $14, Frontrunning Bitcoin In an X post, Javon Marks stated that the XRP price is set to outpace Bitcoin by over 600% this time around, which could spark a rally to over $14 for the altcoin. He noted that when XRP previously outran Bitcoin by over 240%, its price rose by over 570%. As such, he is confident that this can play out again. Related Reading: XRP Price On The Verge Of Another Crash, But There’s Still Hope The analyst’s accompanying chart shows that this XRP price rally could happen between now and mid-2027, with the altcoin outperforming Bitcoin during this period. Marks, however, failed to mention what could trigger such a price rally for the altcoin, considering that it has mirrored the flagship crypto so far in this market cycle. The XRP price notably has a year-to-date (YTD) loss of just over 7% while Bitcoin has a YTD loss of just under 2%. However, XRP is seeing renewed bullish momentum thanks to the spot ETFs, which launched between last month and this month. The XRP ETFs recently hit $1 billion in assets under management (AuM), becoming the fastest crypto asset to hit this milestone since Ethereum. As Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse noted, this highlights the demand for these crypto products, which could serve as a catalyst for a higher XRP price. Meanwhile, the XRP Ledger could soon see increased adoption following the release of the v3.0.0 upgrade, which could, in turn, boost XRP’s utility. XRP Still At “Decision Point” Crypto analyst CasiTrades noted that the XRP price is still at a decision point. She explained that until XRP breaks above the $2.41 resistance and pushes toward $2.65, the bullish scenario isn’t confirmed. On the other hand, the analyst stated that if the price drops back below $2.04 support, the more bearish path opens toward $1.73 and potentially $1.64, which is the .618 macro support. Related Reading: Betting Big On XRP: Billion-Dollar Asset Manager Confirms What Smart Money Has Been Doing CasiTrades reiterated that nothing has been confirmed for the XRP price as both scenarios are still fully in play. She indicated that this $2.04 is the best price level for traders to enter a position, as it positions them for either scenario. The analyst explained that if the price holds and runs upward, then these market participants are in before the confirmation. Meanwhile, if the price breaks down, they can place a stop just below support or at break-even. At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $2.01, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Adobe Stock, chart from Tradingview.com
