XRP ETF Approval Date Nears: Prices Expected To Soar 2x–4x by Year-End

The post XRP ETF Approval Date Nears: Prices Expected To Soar 2x–4x by Year-End appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Several XRP ETF applications have their deadlines this week, drawing attention from investors across the market. If XRP ETF approval comes through, the cryptocurrency could see a rapid price surge, potentially jumping 50–150% in days or weeks. 

Currently trading around $0.55, XRP price could reach $4–$6 by the end of the year.

Why XRP Price Could Surge?

XRP ETF approval would open the doors for massive inflows from Wall Street, including pensions, 401(k)s, and large managed funds. Investors wouldn’t need to buy XRP directly on exchanges, making it easier for billions to enter the market. 

Historical patterns from Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs show that such approval can quickly drive prices up. Analysts predict XRP could see $3–5 billion in the first month alone, potentially doubling prices.

Big institutions like BlackRock, Fidelity, and Vanguard have already filed for XRP ETFs. Once approved, these funds could rush in, creating a “FOMO” effect, where more investors buy simply to avoid missing out. Because XRP has a smaller market cap than Bitcoin, even smaller inflows could create bigger percentage jumps.

XRP ETF approval would also remove a major barrier: the long-standing SEC lawsuit against Ripple. The “lawsuit coin” stigma has held back some investors, but regulatory approval would signal safety, attracting both retail and institutional buyers. Ripple’s network of over 300 banks, including Santander and SBI, could increase XRP usage, multiplying trading volumes from the current $2 billion per day.

Delay in XRP ETF Approval 

The U.S. government shutdown is the main obstacle. The SEC won’t approve any ETFs until the government reopens, potentially delaying XRP ETF approval. However, when approval does happen, all XRP ETF applications are expected to be greenlit at once, similar to how Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs were handled.

Other risks include early investors selling portions of their holdings, which could cap short-term gains, and broader market downturns that may limit price jumps to around 50% instead of doubling or tripling.

Experts see a high probability for XRP ETF approval, which could result in 2x–4x price growth for XRP by year-end. Historical ETF patterns combined with XRP’s current setup suggest this is a realistic scenario rather than speculation.
