Cryptocurrency ETF funds in general:
SEC approvals and delays:
Research results showed that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved the conversion of the Bitwise Crypto Index ETF, then suspended the decision shortly after.
This reflects the uncertainty and regulatory challenges facing cryptocurrency ETFs in general.
• Strong inflows:
Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs have seen significant inflows in 2025, indicating increased institutional interest in cryptocurrencies through these investment vehicles.
• Predictions for Altcoin ETFs:
There are strong expectations that alternative coin ETFs will be approved in 2025, with some analysts indicating a high likelihood of approval for XRP, Litecoin, and Solana ETFs.
• XRP ETFs:
Probability of approval: Many sources indicate a very high probability (up to 95% or 98%) of approval for the XRP ETF fund by the end of 2025, especially after Ripple's lawsuit settlement with the SEC in early 2025 and improved institutional sentiment.
• Important dates:
July 25, 2025, has been mentioned as a potential date for the SEC's decision on the REX-Osprey Spot XRP ETF, which could represent a major turning point.
• Impact of delays:
Despite recent delays in some ETF funds involving XRP (such as Bitwise), the SEC clarified that these delays are procedural and not denials, keeping hopes for approval alive.
• Futures ETFs:
Some XRP futures-based ETFs (such as ProShares Ultra XRP ETF) have been approved, indicating increasing acceptance of XRP as a financial asset.
• Price predictions for XRP from experts and analysts widely vary for the end of 2025, but there is consensus that approval for the XRP ETF will be a key growth catalyst.
Optimistic forecasts:
• Some analysts expect the price of XRP to reach $10 or even $20 by 2025, especially if XRP ETF fund flows mirror those of Bitcoin and Ethereum. • Other forecasts suggest that XRP could reach $5 or more, with some predictions going as high as $15 or even $29 in the most optimistic scenarios. • Some sources have mentioned that XRP could reach $6 or $8 in early 2026.
.• Conservative forecasts:
• More conservative forecasts suggest that XRP's price could range between $2.05 and $5.81 in 2025. • Some technical analyses predict an average price of about $2.91 in 2025, with a range between $1.81 and $4.10. • Some forecasts indicate that XRP could reach $3.65 - $3.80 by the end of July 2025.
• Factors influencing forecasts:
• ETF approval:
is considered the most important factor, as it is expected to lead to significant institutional inflows and increased liquidity and adoption.
• Regulatory situation:
Continued regulatory clarity and settlement of lawsuits (such as Ripple's lawsuit with the SEC) positively affect investor confidence. • Institutional adoption: Increased institutional interest in XRP and its use in cross-border payments could support the price.
• General market conditions:
Broader cryptocurrency market conditions (such as the bull market cycle) significantly affect XRP's performance. •
