XRP ETF Greenlight: Ripple Price Primed for Takeoff in 2025

The crypto world just got its biggest institutional stamp of approval yet—a spot XRP ETF. Now the question on every trader's mind: How high can Ripple's native token fly?

Breaking the Wall Street Barrier

For years, XRP existed in regulatory purgatory. Today's ETF approval smashes through that uncertainty like a bull through a china shop. Market makers are already repositioning—liquidity pools deepening by the hour.

The Institutional Floodgates Open

Pension funds. Hedge funds. Family offices. They've all been waiting for this exact moment. The ETF wrapper solves custody concerns that kept big money sidelined during XRP's previous rallies.

Price Targets: Conservative vs. Moon Math

Analysts can't decide whether to use traditional valuation models or throw darts at a board. The smart money's betting on volatility—this could be the first ETF that makes traders rich and gives them ulcers simultaneously.

Remember: Wall Street always finds a way to charge 2% for the privilege of your FOMO.

XRP is back in focus as talks about the approval of an XRP Spot ETF pick up speed. In a recent interview with Thinking Crypto, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan spoke about the upcoming decisions for XRP and solana ETFs. He mentioned that the approvals could happen soon, possibly as early as July, with official deadlines for many applications set in October.

More than ten XRP ETF applications are currently awaiting review, including those from Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and Canary. A green light for any of them could trigger a sharp MOVE in XRP’s price before the end of the year.

On the technical side, XRP’s price is holding steady with increased buying interest. Ripple’s move to apply for a U.S. national bank license might strengthened its long-term outlook, but it hasn’t driven a big short-term rally yet. The $2.26 to $2.45 zone is important. A break above this range could open the way for a larger move.

However, today’s U.S. economic reports,  including unemployment and inflation data,  may affect market sentiment.

Analyst Casi Trades has set her targets for XRP. She expects the price to hit at least $6.50, with plans to sell part of her position around $8. If XRP crosses $13, she thinks it could reach as high as $26 by the end of 2025.

Min. $6.50 at the first extension target, but I actually am planning to sell a chunk NEAR $8. Once we start breaking to new high, I think I'll be able to narrow down a top

When asked if XRP could hit $20 within the next 18 months, Casi said it’s possible if the coin can maintain its strength during the next big rally.

XRP’s next big move depends on two things: ETF decisions and upcoming market data. If ETF approvals arrive in the coming weeks, XRP may be on track for one of its biggest price surges in years.
