The latest news on $XRP highlights a historic milestone: the first-ever Spot XRP ETF in the U.S. has cleared key regulatory steps and is expected to launch around September 18, 2025. This ETF will allow both retail and institutional investors to gain direct exposure to XRP without needing wallets or complex setups. The SEC lawsuit against Ripple was dismissed in early August 2025, confirming XRP is not a security when sold on exchanges, which is a major regulatory clarity boost. Market price for XRP is around $3.04 to $3.09, with bullish momentum potentially pushing it towards $3.20 and beyond. Additionally, a significant acquisition of XRP worth around $17 million by Japanese gaming giant Gumi Inc. is fueling optimism. Analysts are forecasting XRP price targets between $3.30 to $3.70 if demand and market conditions remain positive.
