The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) potential approval of multiple XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) holds the key to unlocking significant market movement for Ripple’s native cryptocurrency, XRP. 50 USD per XRP is a possibility if the SEC grants spot ETF approvals following their August resolution in 2025. Analysts predict this could spark a price surge similar to what was seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, but skepticism among major players like BlackRock about market demand lingers. This optimism hinges on multiple asset managers, including Bitwise and Franklin Templeton, submitting S-1 filings for XRP ETFs which are awaiting SEC approval. 340 million XRP tokens recently acquired by institutional investors following the SEC settlement, classifying XRP as a utility token, indicates increased interest from these players. ETF inflows projections predict a price rise between $5 to $10 by year-end 2025. Similar ETF-driven bull market patterns seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum are cited, although skeptics remain wary about actual demand without broader institutional enthusiasm. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse has expressed strong support for an XRP ETF and believes it would be logical, though he hasn’t confirmed partnerships with major ETF issuers. Experts highlight the potential for increased institutional use of XRP for cross-border payments as a key factor in driving market growth. Historical trends suggest possible market impacts seen with BTC and ETH, but skepticism remains about reaching high demand or prices without broader institutional enthusiasm from the industry.
