$XRP XRP ETF

Excitement is building around XRP as traders prepare for a historic bull run that could occur in 2025. Rumors center on the increasing optimism that a U.S.-based XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) will soon be greenlit, with Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas currently estimating a 85% probability of approval.

This increase in confidence comes after recent leadership changes at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the regulatory body overseeing cryptocurrency.

An XRP ETF will allow institutional investors to access XRP through traditional markets, potentially opening the gates for billions of dollars in capital. Bitcoin ETFs, launched in early 2024, saw nearly $39 billion in net inflows. If XRP ETFs attract even a modest amount of 15% to 30% of that volume, it could propel XRP into a major bull run.

For example, 15% of inflows into the Bitcoin ETF would yield about $5.85 billion, potentially driving the price of XRP up to $12.23, a 450% increase from the current $2.22. If the XRP ETF attracts 30%, XRP could soar to $22.20, an astonishing 900% increase.

When will the XRP ETF be approved?

Momentum is building. The prediction platform Polymarket currently places the XRP ETF approval odds at 80%, a significant increase from last week's 68%. Major asset management firms—Bitwise, WisdomTree, and Franklin Templeton—have all submitted proposals.

While the SEC has delayed its decision on Franklin Templeton's XRP ETF until June 17, industry insiders believe the chances of approval are growing. If that happens, XRP could follow in Bitcoin's footsteps and witness a parabolic price explosion.

When will the price of XRP rise?

Market sentiment is becoming increasingly bullish. We can expect XRP to regain the $2.36 peak in April in the short term, with new record highs potentially reached in 2025.

Famous trader Dark Defender views the recent price drop as part of a larger bullish pattern.

While Allincrypto predicts that XRP could reach $19.27 in the near future.
