XRP ETFs have begun locking up major supply as institutions accumulate millions of tokens, setting the stage for tighter liquidity and potential price expansion.
-
With whale activity rising and more XRP ETFs set for 2026, analysts expect a 200–300% price surge over the next year as institutional demand accelerates.
XRP spot ETFs have officially launched, opening the door for institutional investors to access the cryptocurrency more easily. Early data shows that a significant portion of XRP supply is already being locked up behind these funds, a move that could influence the token’s price over the coming year.
Following the ETF debut, XRP experienced a sharp 30% pullback, dropping from its November 10 peak of $2.58 to $1.81. This “sell-the-news” reaction came after a broader market sell-off in early October. Despite the correction, XRP has started recovering and is trading near $2.30, maintaining a pattern of higher lows since April.
ETF Accumulation Is Already Significant. 4 Spot XRP ETFs are now active, and initial holdings indicate rising accumulation:
- Canary Capital holds 151.67M XRP (as of Nov. 26).
- Bitwise increased holdings from 59 million to 67 million XRP after Monday’s trading.
- Franklin Templeton (XRPZ) holds 32 million XRP, with total net assets of $62.94 million.
- Grayscale (GXRP) holds 36.09M XRP, with 19.4 XRP per share.
Most ETFs hold around 10 XRP per share, while Grayscale’s product holds nearly double, reflecting a higher trading price.
XRP has seen a 220% jump in on-chain transaction volume as excitement grows around upcoming SEC decisions on multiple spot XRP ETF filings. Whale activity is also increasing, with several large wallets accumulating millions of XRP. More ETF approvals could bring a major influx of liquidity and put XRP back in the spotlight for institutional investors.

XRP Price Prediction For Next 12 Months
XRP’s current setup could be even stronger than Bitcoin’s was during its ETF debut. Ripple continues to onboard banks and financial institutions, while hiring engineers to support enterprise use cases. Combined with growing ETF demand, the conditions appear favorable for upward price movement.
XRP could rise 200–300% over the next 12 months. If ETF buying continues, the token could reach double digits. Even if most XRP is bought privately, it can still impact the market just like Bitcoin, which rose 220% after its ETF approval despite similar private buying.
