XRP As the long-awaited ETF approval for the ETF approaches, analysts state that the price has largely pre-priced this expectation. The launch of the ETF, which is expected to increase institutional interest, may have a limited impact on the altcoin in the short term.

Paul Barron PodcastFinancial analyst guest on Lewis JacksonHe said that many institutional investors have been accumulating XRP for months in anticipation of possible ETF approval, and the current price strength is largely thanks to this demand. According to Jackson, once the ETF is approved, approximately 75 percent of the price movement has already occurred.

Other analysts think the ETF approval could mark the beginning of the institutional era for XRP. For fund managers who want to diversify into cryptocurrencies other than Bitcoin and Ethereum, XRP’s liquidity, transaction volume and structure largely free from regulatory uncertainties are seen as attractive.
“It will all be measured by the depth of institutional demand once ETFs begin trading,” Jackson said, adding that it is possible for XRP to reach double-digit prices if demand increases rapidly.
