XRP is modestly lower, trading at $2.82 this morning. The 24‑hour change shows a slight –0.7 % decline. Intraday movement has ranged between $2.71 and $2.84, suggesting consolidation.
The broader market awaits a key shift. The SEC is expected to approve generic listing standards for crypto‑based ETPs—possibly by late September. These changes could speed up ETF approvals for XRP and peers.
Investor attention is sharpening. Analysts see XRP as a leading ETF contender. It benefits from regulatory clarity following Ripple’s legal resolution. Its payment infrastructure and institutional use cases also support optimism.
Headline activity remains strong. ETF issuers updated their XRP ETF filings last week, spurred by the SEC’s case conclusion. Firms include Grayscale, Bitwise, WisdomTree, CoinShares, Canary Capital, Franklin Templeton, and 21Shares.
Another analyst cautioned that ETF approval could mark “the beginning of the end” of speculative dislocations. He forecasts up to $5 billion in first‑month inflows.
On‑chain and market trends offer context. XRP faces short‑term pressure. One technical warning says XRP must hold above $2.80, or it may fall toward $2.00 in September.
The legal backdrop matters. With the Ripple‑SEC litigation now fully settled, regulatory clarity has improved. This sets up ETF approval as the next major price driver.
