XRP End-of-Year Predictions: $3.50 to $4.50 in Sight?
XRP is once again making headlines as several ETFs that include the token move closer to launch. Analysts are examining how these funds could affect XRP’s performance.
The November Price Jump
Most of the price movement for XRP happened in November 2024. That rise showed early purchases made to fund the possible ETFs. Since then, XRP has mostly traded sideways.
Further gains will likely depend on strong uptake of the ETFs. If the funds succeed, additional XRP may need to be acquired to meet demand. Government shutdowns delayed the ETF launches, but interest in the funds continues to grow. New filings show ongoing plans to include XRP in upcoming ETFs.
Ripple’s Escrow: Limited Market Impact
Ripple’s escrow is not expected to directly affect open-market prices. Purchases for ETFs will follow regulatory approval and are not intended to create sudden price swings. The first XRP ETF is planned for Q1 2026 under the ticker XRP.
Initial ETF funding could involve billions of dollars, which may require acquiring hundreds of millions of XRP. While this could support the market, some analysts say that ETF inflows alone are unlikely to trigger extreme price jumps.
Looking Ahead And Price Analysis
In terms of price outlook, XRP faces resistance near $2.50 and has struggled to surpass it. Bullish signals are emerging in money flow, and analyst Tim Warren has observed an upside if daily charts confirm the trend. XRP could reach between $3.50 and $4.50 by the end of the year.
XRP ETFs mark a step toward broader adoption. Early price gains have already occurred, and future movement depends on the success of these funds and continued demand. These ETFs offer a new way to gain exposure to XRP without holding the token directly.
