XRP ETF Decisions Loom: Approval Odds Rise to 87%

Market anticipation is building around upcoming XRP ETF decisions, with Grayscale facing an October 18 deadline and Canary on October 24. Approval odds have jumped to 87% according to Polymarket data, fueling a 3% price bounce to $2.80 as traders speculate on regulatory outcomes mirroring Bitcoin and Ethereum’s successful ETF launches. Strong fundamentals support the optimism: spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted $54 billion in inflows, Ethereum funds $13 billion, and newly launched CME XRP futures quickly surpassed $1 billion in open interest. However, risks remain as regulators have previously delayed decisions, and broader market weakness could dampen demand even with approvals. Technical analysis suggests XRP is forming a bullish falling wedge pattern, though traders await clear regulatory confirmation before expecting sustained gains beyond current levels.

SEC Delays Solana ETF Decision to October 16

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has invoked its final 60-day extension to delay a decision on Solana ETF proposals from Bitwise and 21Shares, setting a hard deadline of October 16. The delay reflects unresolved concerns around Solana’s regulatory classification, network stability, and market surveillance. Analysts suggest the SEC’s decision could influence future altcoin ETF applications, with traders speculating on Solana’s price ahead of the ruling. While BlackRock has no plans for a Solana ETF, other issuers like ProShares and Grayscale have adjusted filings to meet SEC criteria. Bloomberg analysts predict potential approval by mid-October.

XRP Bull Run 2025: AI Predictions & ETF Impact

XRP has surged 470% since November 2024, fueled by the resolution of Ripple’s SEC lawsuit and broader crypto market recovery. AI models ChatGPT, Grok, and Claude largely agree the bull run isn’t over, citing factors like whale accumulation ($2.8B in 48 hours), technical patterns (bull pennant signaling potential $20 target), and positive sentiment. A key catalyst could be the potential approval of a US spot XRP ETF (81% chance by 2025), which would boost institutional access. While targets vary ($3.50-$11.20 near-term), risks include resistance failures or macroeconomic downturns. The AI consensus suggests XRP’s rally still has room to run.

Teucrium’s 2x XRP ETF Surpasses $300M in Net Flows

The Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP) has achieved a milestone by surpassing $323.6 million in net flows, becoming the first US-traded XRP ETF to cross the $300 million threshold. XXRP now accounts for 52.5% of the total $616 million in net flows for US XRP ETFs. All XRP-linked exchange-traded products (ETPs) in the US are currently pegged to derivatives, as the SEC has yet to approve spot products. XRP ETPs saw $189 million in inflows last week, with XXRP contributing $73.4 million, marking a 22.7% weekly growth. Volatility Shares’ XRP products, XRPI and XRPT, also showed strong performance, with inflows growing by 27% and 26%, respectively. Despite XRP’s larger market cap compared to Solana, XRP ETPs trail behind Solana-based products in global net flows, with $721 million versus Solana’s $844 million.

XRP Breaks Out: Analysts Target $6 Amid Bullish Surge

Ripple (XRP) has confirmed a breakout from a long-term symmetrical triangle, with prices surging over 20% in a week to $3.46. Analysts like Ali Martinez highlight Fibonacci extensions pointing to potential targets of $4.20–$6.12, with $3.65 as the next key resistance. The rally is supported by bullish on-chain metrics, including a record 7.2M XRP wallets, and regulatory tailwinds from U.S. crypto bills and the launch of a ProShares XRP futures ETF. Market structure remains intact, with $3.40 acting as support, while a break above $3.65 could accelerate upward momentum.

XRP’s Path to $1,000: Expert Forecasts Multi-Stage Surge

Crypto analyst BarriC has outlined a bold multi-stage price forecast for XRP, predicting a path to $1,000. XRP recently surged to a new all-time high of $3.65, breaking its long-term consolidation, partly driven by SEC-approved ETFs and institutional interest. BarriC’s near-term target is $4, followed by $10–$20, with an eventual leap to $1,000—though skeptics question the feasibility given the required $50 trillion market cap. Central to his prediction is XRP’s utility in cross-border payments and banking adoption. Currently trading at $3.44, XRP’s next critical hurdle is securing $3 as a new base price.

XRP Surges as Regulatory and Corporate Tailwinds Converge

XRP’s price has surged to $3.08, up 27% this week, as regulatory and corporate tailwinds converge. The GENIUS Act’s progress, Ripple’s banking and MiCA compliance efforts, and the nearing resolution of its SEC lawsuit are key catalysts. Additionally, ETF filings and Ripple’s acquisition strategy signal growing institutional interest. Analysts like Pentoshi note XRP’s strong technical structure, with thin overhead resistance, suggesting potential for further gains. However, whether it can surpass its 2018 all-time high of $3.84 remains uncertain.

Open interest in XRP futures climbed to $9.25 billion, reflecting increased leveraged trading, while the SEC’s approval of the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF (UXPR) further boosted investor sentiment.

XRP Surges to $3 as SEC Approves ProShares ETF

XRP has experienced a remarkable 25.7% surge over the past week, briefly touching $3 after the SEC approved the ProShares Ultra XRP ETF. This approval marks a pivotal shift in regulatory sentiment toward XRP, which has faced legal challenges since the SEC’s 2020 lawsuit against Ripple. The rally has boosted XRP’s market cap to $173.4 billion, surpassing USDT and positioning it as the third-largest cryptocurrency. Analysts speculate that XRP could challenge Ethereum’s dominance if a spot XRP ETF is approved, with a potential price target of $1,000 under full institutional adoption. Meanwhile, Ethereum remains strong, buoyed by $1.55 billion in spot ETF inflows in July.
