XRP to $5.50 by 2026? Bold Analyst Predictions Amid ETF and Institutional Inflows

XRP ETF hype is attracting investors with renewed interest in the price potential of the popular altcoin. According to predictions shared on social media and trading forums, the ETF approval—possibly coming by late 2025 or early 2026—could be the launchpad for XRP’s next bull run. This is based on the history of other coins that received ETF backing, like Bitcoin and Ethereum. BTC as well as ETH witnessed incredible upward price movements right after being approved.
XRP transfers are also picking up, which could be considered another positive sign. Over $1.35 billion in XRP was moved on the 2nd of August alone, marking the highest single-day activity in weeks. For many traders, that’s a signal of increasing institutional interest and strategic positioning ahead of key developments.
