Approval of an exchange-traded fund (ETF) based on XRP could become a key event for the market this year. If regulators give the 'green light,' it will attract billions in institutional capital and strengthen trust in the asset.
🔑 Why is this important?
📈 Influx of institutional investors: ETF simplifies the purchase of XRP for funds and banks.
🌍 Growth of legitimacy: cryptocurrency is ceasing to be a 'grey area'.
💸 Liquidity: the more participants there are, the less volatility and higher price stability.
📊 XRP price forecasts upon ETF approval
Standard Chartered expects growth to $5.50 by the end of the year with a positive decision on the ETF.
Coinpedia and Bitget estimate the potential in the range of $5–6.
Bullish scenario: if BTC simultaneously updates its all-time high and the cryptocurrency market capitalization grows, XRP could test the range of $9–$15.
⚖️ Realistic range
Base scenario: $3.50–$5.50
Optimistic scenario (ETF + market growth): $6–$9
Extreme hype scenario: $10–15
📝 Summary for investors
Approval of the ETF on XRP could be the very push for a new wave of growth.
The main thing to remember: even the brightest forecasts come with risks, and you should only invest funds that you are willing to hold long-term.
