XRP Price Coiled for Explosive Breakout as Historic First U.S. Spot ETF Launch Approaches

XRP bulls are loading up—the sleeping giant's about to wake.

ETF Thunder Approaching

Wall Street's finally playing catch-up. The first U.S. spot XRP ETF nears approval, and traders are positioning for the tidal wave of institutional cash. This isn't just another crypto product—it's legitimacy stamped in black ink.

Technical Spring Wound Tight

Price consolidation patterns scream potential energy. Every sideways day adds pressure to the coil. Breakout levels loom overhead like unbroken dams—once they crack, momentum traders flood in.

Regulatory Fog Lifting

Years of legal uncertainty shaped XRP's stubborn resilience. Now clarity emerges—and with it, traditional finance's favorite thing: predictable risk frameworks. Nothing gets hedge funds excited like reduced regulatory ambiguity.

Market Mechanics Shift

ETF flows don't just move prices—they change market structure. Direct XRP purchases create underlying scarcity while providing retail investors the familiar wrapper they crave. Because apparently buying digital assets through decades-old structures makes them feel safer.

Timing The Implosion

Watch volume spikes and volatility compression. When quiet periods snap, they snap hard. This setup mirrors previous pre-breakout patterns across crypto assets—except now with actual regulatory green lights.

Because nothing brings Wall Street to crypto like being able to charge 2% management fees on something that was originally designed to bypass them entirely.

Rex-Osprey XRP ETF set to launch on Sep. 12

The XRP price will be in the spotlight tomorrow as Rex-Osprey launches the first spot ETF. This fund will have a first-mover advantage compared to those filed by companies like Franklin Templeton, Bitwise, and Invesco.

While the fund’s goal is to track the Ripple (XRP) price, it will be different from the others. The main difference is that it is based on the Investment Company Act of 1940, while the others are based on Act 33. Using the 1940 Act allowed Rex-Osprey to complete the 75-day review.

The other difference is that it will provide investors with exposure to XRP through a wholly owned Cayman Islands company. 

This fund will be similar to the Rex-Osprey SOL + Staking ETF that has accumulated over $240 million in assets. As such, it is likely to be more expensive than the other upcoming XRP ETFs, given its 0.75% expense ratio. 

While the new XRP ETF will be notable, the main catalyst for XRP will be the other funds, which will likely be approved in October. Polymarket data shows that the odds of these spot ETFs happening this year have jumped to 92%.

Analysts expect these funds will have substantial inflows within the first few months, which may boost the XRP price. SoSoValue data shows that spot Bitcoin (BTC) and ethereum (ETH) funds hold between 5% and 7% of their market capitalization. If XRP achieves this, then the main ETFs could attract more than $9 billion in assets in the first year.

XRP price technical analysis

The daily time frame chart shows that the XRP price has formed a few chart patterns that may trigger more gains in the NEAR term. It has formed a double bottom at $2.70 and a neckline at $3.38.

Most importantly, it has formed a falling wedge pattern and has already moved above its upper side, confirming a bullish breakout. It has remained above the 100-day exponential moving average.

The Relative Strength Index has moved above the neutral point at 50, while the two lines of the Percentage Price Oscillator have crossed. Therefore, XRP will likely rebound and potentially hit an extreme overshoot level near $4.30.
