The post XRP jumps as 5 spot ETFs close in on debut: What changes when they actually launch? appeared first on CryptoSlate.
The crypto industry is approaching a major milestone as the market anticipates the potential approval of an XRP Spot ETF in the United States (US). Analysts suggest that recent developments regarding the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) review could deliver the final nail in the coffin for XRP. With ETF filings still awaiting approval, the market is watching closely, as a green light could pave the way to greater mainstream adoption and institutional investment in XRP. XRP ETF To Become Game-Changer For The Market Nate Geraci, President of NovaDius Wealth Management and co-founder of The ETF Institute, recently stated on X social media that the first Spot XRP ETF could launch within the next two weeks. He described this event as the “final nail in the coffin” for the previous wave of anti-crypto regulators. Related Reading: Analyst Predicts XRP Price Will Decouple From Bitcoin, Here’s What Would Happen Notably, the US SEC had been involved in litigation against Ripple for five years, which concluded about three months ago. Geraci believes that the approval of a Spot XRP ETF represents a significant step forward for not only XRP but also the broader cryptocurrency industry. The temporary delay caused by the US government shutdown, which started in October, has pushed back XRP ETF approvals. However, new reports of bipartisan efforts to reopen government operations have reignited expectations of an ETF. Geraci pointed out in a subsequent X post that the end of the government shutdown could unleash a wave of crypto ETF launches, with a 33 Act spot XRP ETF likely coming this week. Recently, the US Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) listed nine new Spot XRP ETFs on its platform, increasing expectations of a launch this November. The list includes XRP ETFs from top asset managers such as Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, Volatility Shares, CoinShares, T-Rex Osprey, 21Shares, and many others. ETF Filing Amendment Brings Launch Closer Than Ever Further evidence that an XRP ETF may be imminent comes from recent filing updates by leading issuers. Eric Balchunas, senior ETF analyst at Bloomberg, reported that 21Shares has submitted an 8(a) form with the US SEC on November 7 for its spot XRP ETF. The new changes in the filing officially activate a 20-day countdown for the approval and launch of an XRP ETF by November 27. Related Reading: Rare Chart Formation That Led To An 87% XRP Price Crash Has Resurfaced Crypto commentator John Squire also noted that if the US SEC does not take action within the allotted period, the approval would automatically proceed. Similarly, multiple issuers, including Canary Capital, have also withdrawn “delaying amendments,” triggering the same 20-day automatic approval countdown. Notably, these filings suggest that the market is moving closer to a regulatory green light for XRP ETFs. Amid recent developments, Squire has pointed out that the US has never been this close to fully approving an XRP ETF. Should the SEC give its authorization, it could significantly transform trading volume, liquidity, and institutional participation in the market. It would also expand the current major ETF offerings beyond just Bitcoin and Ethereum. Featured image from Peakpx, chart from Tradingview.com

The cryptosphere is keeping a close eye on Ethereum (ETH), as the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap demonstrates resilience amid market shakes. Related Reading: MEXC Users At Risk Of Losing Their Crypto? Ex-Public Advisor Exposes ‘Structural Rot’ While spot ETF outflows are causing concern in some quarters, underlying network fundamentals and technical charts are painting a cautiously optimistic picture, with analysts pointing to a potential move toward the $4,400 mark. Ethereum ETF Outflows and Institutional Sentiment Despite ETH’s recent price recovery, institutional sentiment appears to be on firmer ground even as exchange-traded funds (ETFs) tied to Ethereum record sizeable outflows. Data show that Ethereum spot ETFs suffered a net outflow of approximately $508 million over the week, marking one of the largest weekly withdrawals in their history. This mirrors a broader shift in investor behaviour: while traditional crypto-fund inflows have tapered, margins of institutional conviction remain steady. On the one hand, redemptions suggest a short-term cooling of enthusiasm for ETH amongst ETF investors. On the other hand, this rotation may reflect a more strategic recalibration rather than a wholesale withdrawal of institutional capital. ETH's price trends to the upside on the daily chart. Source: ETHUSD on Tradingview Strong ETH Price Support and Technical Setup From a price-action standpoint, Ethereum shows signs of stabilisation. After a sharp weekly drop of around 12 %, the asset has rebounded above the $3,400 level. Analysts have identified key resistance near $3,720, with breakout targets in sight at approximately $4,400 and a further extension toward $4,955. Key technical highlights include: Holding the $3,200–$3,350 liquidity zone as support before the rebound. The break of a bearish trend line near $3,350, alongside clearing the 50 % Fibonacci retracement of the recent decline. Momentum indicators, such as MACD and RSI, are entering bullish territory, suggesting that the upside could be favored if resistance levels are conquered. Network Fundamentals and Catalysts Beyond price movements, Ethereum’s on-chain fundamentals offer reason for optimism. While some metrics are cooling, the total value locked (TVL) in the network has fallen by roughly 24% in the past 30 days to around $74.2 billion. On the flip side, Ethereum’s revenue from applications hit record levels as recently as mid-October, driven by stable-coin activity and increasing usage of the network’s “economic machine.” A key upcoming catalyst is the planned “Fusaka” upgrade, scheduled for early December, which is expected to enhance scalability and security in the Ethereum network, potentially boosting long-term value drivers.

XRP is printing its most constructive long-term structure on record, according to independent chartist “The Great Mattsby” (@matthughes13), who points to the three-month Ichimoku system and a year-long base forming above its key quarterly averages. XRP Is In The Strongest Bull Run Ever On the latest 3-month XRP/USD chart from Bitstamp, the in-progress candle shows price around $2.31, with the Ichimoku conversion line and baseline tracking just beneath spot. The analyst highlights that XRP “has never built a base above the 3 month conversion or baseline in its history and it’s doing it now for the past year” (posted Nov. 8, 2025). That observation is notable because, in prior cycles, quarterly closes consistently failed to hold above those Ichimoku reference lines after rallies, whereas the current cycle has seen price stabilize on top of them for multiple quarters in a row. The present quarterly candle remains open, but the configuration—price above both the 3-month conversion and baseline—visually underscores the claim of an ongoing macro bull trend. And there’s a more bullish structure for XRP. XRP has been oscillating between the 0.886 Fibonacci retracement at $2.25877 and its 2018 cycle all-time high at $3.31700. Since early December last year, price repeatedly defended the $2.25877 band as support while failing to secure acceptance above the $3.31700 ceiling on the weekly chart, creating a horizontal range capped by the former peak. Related Reading: XRP Eyes $5.5, But The Best Entry Is Still Ahead: Analyst “To put things in perspective, XRP has been consolidating between the 0.886 Fibonacci level and its 2018 all-time high (2.25877–3.317). It’s building a strong base above the 0.886 Fib,” Mattsby wrote on Oct. 12, adding that this structure keeps XRP in what he calls a “#Palantiring candidate” posture. Although that remark is four weeks old, the argument remains intact on the posted chart: the 0.886 area continues to function as the pivotal shelf. XRP Price Targets Beyond the prior-cycle high, the same weekly framework maps out upside extension levels that would logically come into play only if $3.31700 is reclaimed and held. Those include the 1.272 extension around $8.29661, the 1.414 near $13.38940, and the 1.618 up at $26.63038. Related Reading: XRP Price To Reach $1,000 By End Of 2025? Rumor Mills Are On Fire With BlackRock Speculations Closer to price, the stacked retracement supports below $2.25877 are clearly demarcated at $1.61246 (0.786), $1.12487 (0.702), $0.91531 (0.618), $0.61495 (0.500), $0.41315 (0.382), and $0.25257 (0.236), delineating the ladder of demand zones that governed XRP’s multi-year range prior to the latest advance. Taken together, the two timeframes tell a coherent story. On the high-timeframe Ichimoku view, XRP is maintaining altitude above its 3-month conversion and baseline for the first sustained period in its history—an objective sign of trend strength. On the weekly, price action has compressed into a well-defined band between $2.26 and $3.32, with repeated mean-reversions indicating accumulation rather than distribution while the market tests overhead supply at the 2018 high. As long as the 0.886 retracement at $2.25877 continues to hold on closing bases, the consolidation thesis laid out by The Great Mattsby—and the characterization of this as XRP’s strongest macro bull trend to date on Ichimoku terms—remains technically valid. At press time, XRP traded at $2.56. Featured image created with DALL.E, chart from TradingView.com
