XRP ETF Approval Imminent? What It Means for Price and Investors
XRP ETF Approval Odds Hit 98% – XRP has rebounded sharply to around $2.26, up 9.7% from a recent low of $2.06, amid growing excitement over a possible spot XRP ETF approval in 2025. According to Polymarket, the odds of such an approval have surged to 98%, a dramatic rise from 68% in April, fueled by mounting institutional interest and regulatory progress.
Multiple heavyweight firms—including Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares—have submitted applications for a spot XRP ETF. Analysts believe this pressure on the U.S. SEC, combined with XRP futures launching on CME Group in May with $19 million in day-one volume, significantly strengthens the case for approval.
Institutional Demand and Legal Clarity Fuel Price Outlook
Three corporations, including Webus International, have announced over $471 million in planned XRP treasury investments, further showcasing institutional adoption. In addition, the SEC’s lawsuit against Ripple was dropped in March, removing a key legal overhang and restoring confidence in the asset.
Should an XRP ETF gain SEC approval by December 31, 2025, analysts expect a flood of institutional capital could push XRP toward the $20–$27 price range, and potentially even $50, especially if asset giants like BlackRock enter the market.
Analysts Predict XRP Could Hit $25–$27 Before a Steep Crash
Analyst Egrag Crypto projects XRP could rally to $20, with an extended target of $27, based on chart patterns like bull flags, moving average alignments, and fractal analysis. However, he warns of a potential 86% crash after the top, possibly sending XRP back to $3.00 in the next bear cycle.
Fellow analyst Jaydee_757 draws comparisons to XRP’s 2017 hidden bullish divergence, which led to a 20x rally. A similar setup could trigger a move to $25, followed by a 90% correction, marking a historic peak.
As expectations build around ETF approval and institutional momentum, XRP’s 2025 trajectory could redefine its role in the broader crypto market.
