$XRP is back in focus as talks about the approval of an $XRP Spot ETF pick up speed. In a recent interview with Thinking Crypto, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan spoke about the upcoming decisions for $XRP and Solana ETFs. He mentioned that the approvals could happen soon, possibly as early as July, with official deadlines for many applications set in October.
More than ten $XRP ETF applications are currently awaiting review, including those from Bitwise, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, and Canary. A green light for any of them could trigger a sharp move in $XRP’s price before the end of the year.
Key Market Levels and Updates
On the technical side, $XRP’s price is holding steady with increased buying interest. Ripple’s move to apply for a U.S. national bank license might strengthened its long-term outlook, but it hasn’t driven a big short-term rally yet. The $2.26 to $2.45 zone is important. A break above this range could open the way for a larger move.
However, today’s U.S. economic reports, including unemployment and inflation data, may affect market sentiment.
Big Price Predictions for $XRP
Analyst Casi Trades has set her targets for $XRP. She expects the price to hit at least $6.50, with plans to sell part of her position around $8. If $XRP crosses $13, she thinks it could reach as high as $26 by the end of 2025.
Min. $6.50 at the first extension target, but I actually am planning to sell a chunk near $8. Once we start breaking to new high, I think I'll be able to narrow down a top

When asked if $XRP could hit $20 within the next 18 months, Casi said it’s possible if the coin can maintain its strength during the next big rally.
What’s Next for $XRP
$XRP’s next big move depends on two things: ETF decisions and upcoming market data. If ETF approvals arrive in the coming weeks, $XRP may be on track for one of its biggest price surges in years.
