The post 'XRP Price Ready to Explode on May 19' first appeared on Coinpedia Fintech News
XRP is on the verge of a major breakthrough that could redefine its future in the crypto space. According to leading analyst J4b1, massive growth could be triggered when XRP joins the futures ETF club, following the same pattern that led to price increases for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana.
XRP Futures ETF by CME Group launches on May 19
In a bold move, CME Group is set to launch XRP futures ETFs on May 19 — a historical milestone, similar to how BTC and ETH surged after their own futures ETF approvals. In a recent post on X, J4b1 emphasized how this could be the most significant turning point for XRP.
Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated,
"While this is delayed in many ways, it is an incredibly important and exciting step in the continued growth of the XRP market."
This move comes amid more than 80 crypto ETFs awaiting approval in the US — 20 of which are solely for XRP. With pro-crypto Paul Atkins as the new SEC chair, the situation has dramatically changed compared to the previous administration's stance. This leadership change could expedite the approval of spot ETFs and open doors for mass adoption.
Institutions are quietly accumulating XRP
It has been reported that Ripple is nearing a settlement with the SEC, which could remove one of the last hurdles to the widespread adoption of XRP. The world's first spot ETF for XRP, XRP H11, has already been launched in Brazil through Hashdex, demonstrating that global institutional interest in XRP is already gaining serious momentum.
At the same time, liquidity is growing in the markets. The Federal Reserve has now opened the doors for banks to interact with cryptocurrencies, and central banks are reportedly exploring crypto reserves. States and financial institutions are quietly preparing for major changes — and XRP is at the center.
Analyst: Will XRP reach $10, $20… and more?
Crypto expert BarriC says that buying XRP now is like grabbing it in 2017 before the explosion. He predicts that XRP will easily break $3, $5, and then reach $10 to $20 when institutional money starts flowing in. He even hints at a long-term price for XRP of $100 to $1,000, especially when major banks begin using it for cross-border transactions.
"The moment one major bank officially starts using XRP for payments, everything will change," said BarriC. "We will leave behind 4-year price cycles, and XRP will never be this cheap again."
A perfect storm for a mass XRP rally
Considering the following catalysts:
Launch of XRP futures ETF by CME
Progress in Ripple-SEC settlement
Spot ETF for XRP in Brazil
New SEC Chair Paul Atkins
Growing institutional liquidity
Banks and governments are involved in crypto reserves
Peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine
Reduction of global tariff tensions
...everything points to a perfect storm for XRP.
As crypto ETFs gain popularity worldwide, XRP is becoming one of the main contenders for the next wave of institutional adoption. If the stars align, XRP could not only rise — it could lead the next bull market in cryptocurrencies.
