XRP appears to be poised for a strong bull run. Recent developments, such as the coordinated XRP ETF filing, increasing chances of approval, and the official lawsuit conclusion, are fueling bullish speculation. Analysts are closely monitoring technical signals and believe XRP's next move could be very significant.
XRP ETF Filing Accelerates
After the SEC officially dismissed Ripple Labs' lengthy lawsuit, several large asset management firms, including Canary, CoinShares, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, WisdomTree, Grayscale, and Bitwise, updated their XRP ETF registration filings.
ETF expert Nate Geraci calls this a "very good sign" for the XRP ETF, highlighting growth momentum in the market. The approval rate for the XRP spot ETF has also reached 85%, and XRP-focused ETFs like Teucrium and ProShares have added hundreds of millions in assets.
Ripple Ecosystem Growth
In terms of ecosystem, the XRP Ledger continues to expand. RLUSD is nearing the $700 million asset mark and has seen a 30-day trading volume increase of 15% to $2.7 billion.
Altcoin analyst Gordon notes that the XRP/BTC pair is on the verge of breaking an 8-year downtrend. He cites several positive factors such as ETF approval, partnerships with Japan's SBI Holdings, and the robust upgrade of XRPL.
Price Targets and Technical Outlook
Analyst Dark Defender predicts that XRP will form a Bull Flag pattern similar to the one seen in November 2024, when this token rose from $1.13 to $2.40. He identifies key support levels at $3 to $2.85 and potential targets from $4.39 to $5.85, signaling that XRP may be preparing for another significant bull run.
Analyst BarriC is even more optimistic. He predicts that XRP's price will explode in the coming months and by early 2026. He expects XRP to soon surpass the $4 mark, potentially reaching a double-digit all-time high of $10–15.
He predicts another major bull run in early 2026, which could push the price up to $50. If banks start to adopt and use XRP, he forecasts that this token could reach unprecedented growth, starting from $1,000 or more.
Pullback Before a Bull Run?
Another analyst, Zach Rector, believes that XRP could easily double before the spot ETF launches in the U.S. However, comparing it to Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, he suggests that the price may drop back once approved. The SEC's delay until late October 2025 sets the stage for several months of speculative buying. However, strong capital inflow from institutions could alleviate selling pressure.
XRP is currently trading around $3.03, showing fairly neutral technical prospects. While the short-term moving average has a slight downtrend, the long-term moving average remains in an uptrend. Overall, XRP is at a critical level, with the potential to break out if upward momentum returns.
