AI Summary
According to Cointelegraph, XRP is currently navigating a critical juncture as it consolidates at the base of a descending triangle, a pattern often associated with bearish trends. The altcoin is hovering near the $2.75 support level, with persistent selling pressure threatening to push prices lower into the $2.65 to $2.45 range. This potential move could result in an 8% to 10% decline, aligning with a daily fair value gap that coincides with the 0.50–0.618 Fibonacci retracement levels. This zone may attract liquidity and serve as a potential launchpad for a bullish recovery.
Onchain data further supports this technical outlook. Glassnode’s Unrealized Price Distribution (URPD) for XRP indicates a dense cluster of buyers between $2.45 and $2.55, suggesting a strong cost basis for many holders within this range. If the price revisits this pocket, buyers might defend the level aggressively, creating conditions conducive to a rebound. XRP's behavior remains consistent with its fractal pattern from the first quarter, having tested the $2.65 mark twice. Historical structures suggest a possible sweep below this level into the liquid-heavy fair value gap before a sustainable rally. However, while historical fractals offer insights, they do not guarantee an exact repeat of price behavior, and the market may diverge from its prior structure.
Market researcher Sistine Research has noted that XRP could be approaching a significant expansion phase in the coming months. The analysis highlights that XRP’s narrow price action over the past 10 weeks is compressing its order book into a tighter range, leaving larger gaps between levels. This compression phase, the third since the U.S. elections in November 2024, is the tightest yet, built on three consecutively higher price points. Such conditions have historically preceded sharp breakouts when a liquidity build-up is released. Crypto analyst Pelin Ay added that spot market flows reveal an ongoing battle between buyers and sellers, with the 90-day spot taker CVD showing sellers in control despite brief buyer strength earlier in 2025. Sustained upside would require a decisive volume shift from buyers, which has yet to materialize.
Meanwhile, ETF news is influencing market sentiment. Franklin Templeton’s XRP ETF decision has been postponed to November 14, while REX/Osprey’s XRPR debuted with nearly $38 million in first-day volume. Analysts caution that optimism may already be partially priced in, raising the risk for "sell the news" outcomes. This article does not contain investment advice or recommendations.

The strong entry of BlackRock into the crypto market with its Bitcoin (IBIT) and Ethereum ETFs has sparked speculation that the firm might soon expand into other assets—such as XRP or Solana. However, the answer isn’t so straightforward, according to Robbie Mitchnick, BlackRock’s Global Head of Digital Assets.

Demand Is the Key Factor
In an interview with Nate Geraci, Mitchnick emphasized that the development of new ETF products is primarily driven by investor demand. Before launching a product, BlackRock evaluates whether there is sufficient interest from both retail and institutional investors. Other considerations include market capitalization, liquidity, investment thesis, and long-term portfolio strategies.
“It’s not about rushing to file applications,” Mitchnick explained. “BlackRock takes a thoughtful approach, weighing whether the timing is right and if the asset has strong enough fundamentals.” For now, this means the firm does not plan to immediately pursue ETFs for XRP or Solana, though it continues to monitor the market closely.

Tokenization Still in Its Early Stages
Mitchnick also addressed the future of asset tokenization, noting that the field is still in its early phases and only a handful of asset classes currently have practical use cases. The clearest example, he said, lies in money market funds—their tokenized versions combined with stablecoins allow investors to capture full yields while maintaining instant liquidity.
For other asset classes, however, practical solutions are still lacking. “We need to clearly demonstrate that tokenization solves real-world problems,” he added.

Stablecoins at the Center of Focus
Mitchnick highlighted BlackRock’s long-standing interest in stablecoins. Back in 2021, the firm partnered with Circle to help manage USDC reserves and also made a direct investment. He emphasized that stablecoins play a crucial role in faster settlement and improved liquidity access.

What’s Next?
For now, BlackRock is prioritizing areas with the strongest client demand—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and stablecoins. An XRP ETF remains a possibility, but only if the right market conditions and regulatory clarity align in the future.

VanEck, one of the world’s largest asset managers and an active applicant for spot crypto ETFs, confirmed today that it is consulting with the SEC’s crypto working group on the future of tokenized financial products. The discussions centered on the role of underlying fund issuers in tokenized ETF structures—specifically, who will play a key role in their management.

SEC Explores Tokenization and DeFi

The SEC’s crypto working group recently met with several innovative firms, including Term Finance, to discuss how smart contracts, new compliance frameworks, and elements of decentralized finance (DeFi) could be incorporated into traditional financial systems.

Institutional Interest on the Rise

Interest in tokenization is also being confirmed by other major players. Bitwise recently filed for an ETF designed to track leaders in stablecoins and tokenization, signaling that institutional investors are increasingly seeking to bridge traditional finance with digital assets.

SEC and CFTC Roundtable

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) have scheduled a roundtable for September 29, bringing together traditional exchanges like the NYSE alongside crypto platforms such as Kraken. The goal is to discuss how tokenization and blockchain infrastructure will reshape capital markets in the years ahead.

Tokenized ETFs could pave the way for more efficient, faster, and globally accessible financial products, bridging the gap between traditional investments and the modern digital ecosystem.
