XRP’s price is primed to surge by 80% and approach record highs by June, analysts say.
In the next three to six months, XRP will be trading as high as $3.40, Akbar Thobhani, co-founder and CEO at crypto-trading platform sFOX, told DL News.
The bullish call comes as exchange-traded funds hitched to the fifth-largest crypto have drawn $1.3 billion in investment since launching in November, far pacing Bitcoin or Ethereum ETFs. There have only been two days of net selling since their debut, SoSoValue data shows.
Canary Capital’s blockbuster debut in November was the top crypto ETF launch of 2025, drawing in $250 million in investment. Chief executive Steven McClurg initially predicted $5 billion to flow into XRP ETFs in their first month.
“Wallet-level and exchange inflow data, like the recent weekly institutional capital moving into XRP, generally signal strong participation interest and liquidity demand,” Thobhani said.
To be sure, XRP is currently trading at $1.91, or down some 48% from its July record price.
“We see that XRP already benefits from deep order books across global venues,” Thobhani said.
Institutional moves
Ripple, the company that developed the XRP cryptocurrency, is making big moves.
In November, the firm raised $500 million from Citadel Securities, Fortress, Pantera Capital, and Galaxy Digital.
Then in January, Ripple secured an Electronic Money Institution licence and Cryptoasset Registration from the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority.
And the company is on a billion-dollar shopping spree to assemble a portfolio of global crypto businesses.
On Tuesday, software company GTreasury, acquired by Ripple for $1 billion in October, announced the launch of Ripple Treasury.
The new product provides “solutions for liquidity management, reconciliation, cash forecasting, risk management, netting, and payments, backed by 40+ years serving the world’s leading companies,” the firm said.
