Uphold Research Head Flags June 2025 as Pivotal for XRP Amid ETF Decision Window

XRP’s current stability NEAR $2 belies brewing volatility, according to Uphold’s Head of Research Martin Hiesboeck. Three June 2025 catalysts—including a potential SEC decision on Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF by June 17—could trigger the next major price movement.

Market participants are treating current levels as a potential last-chance accumulation zone. The Uphold exchange’s institutional analysis suggests this lull may precede either a breakout or significant correction, with the ETF verdict serving as a decisive inflection point.
