Analysts Bullish on XRP as Institutional Investment Surges
Ripple’s XRP is drawing renewed attention from market watchers, with analysts forecasting a strong performance in the months ahead.
According to data from CoinShares, institutional investors funneled $37 million into XRP last week alone—surpassing inflows for most other cryptocurrencies currently struggling to attract capital. This surge brings XRP within just $1 million of Ethereum in year-to-date institutional investment, despite Ethereum seeing over $772 million in outflows over the past eight weeks.
Analysts attribute XRP’s upward momentum to several pivotal factors, most notably the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s decision to drop its long-standing lawsuit against Ripple. The move significantly reduces legal uncertainty and opens the door for broader adoption.
“With the SEC case behind us, we’re now in a position where positive developments can truly take center stage,” said Luke Nolan, Senior Ethereum Researcher at CoinShares. “XRP is positioned to be among the top-performing assets moving forward.”
This renewed confidence arrives at a critical moment. Coinbase has introduced regulated XRP futures, and the SEC is currently reviewing 72 ETF applications—signaling heightened institutional interest and potential regulatory breakthroughs.
XRP’s recent momentum, however, isn’t solely about the asset itself. “It’s become something of a barometer for broader market sentiment,” Nolan added. “Following the Trump election and the SEC’s softer stance, XRP has emerged as one of the market’s strongest assets since November 5th.”
Both retail and institutional investors appear to be leaning into this optimism, betting that XRP will remain a standout performer among altcoins in the near term.
