XRP News Today: Institutional XRP ETFs Create Rarity, Yet Market Downturn Restricts Price Growth
- Jake Claver highlights ETF-driven depletion of XRP's OTC supply, potentially triggering sharp price surges via liquidity constraints. - SEC's Project Crypto prioritizing disclosure enabled XRP ETF approvals (e.g., Grayscale GXRP), offering institutional access through regulated platforms. - Analysts note ETFs' structural advantages over futures but warn XRP's $2.11 price faces headwinds from broader crypto market weakness (-25% since October). - FeFe's model predicts $47 price target if $10B ETF inflows

The liquidity shortage theory, put forward by analyst FeFe, suggests that $10 billion flowing into ETFs could deplete XRP’s available supply, pushing prices higher. FeFe claims that ETFs will need to acquire large amounts of tokens to support their shares, leading to an artificial shortage. At present, XRP is priced at $2.11, but
The uneven results of XRP ETFs add further uncertainty. While Bitwise’s XRP ETF has seen $22 million in trading, XRP’s price has remained flat. Franklin Templeton’s XRPZ ETF, which launched in mid-November, briefly lifted XRP by 8% but couldn’t maintain the momentum. These trends illustrate the ongoing tug-of-war between institutional buying and broader economic challenges.
Looking forward, the increasingly competitive ETF market could alter XRP’s future. With ten spot XRP ETFs now available, including those from Grayscale, Bitwise, and 21Shares, the asset is gaining more acceptance in mainstream finance. However, the abundance of products might lessen the influence of any single ETF.
Regulatory factors remain unpredictable. Although the SEC’s latest approvals suggest a more open stance, continued vigilance over market manipulation could temper optimism. XRP’s special role as a cross-border payments solution may provide long-term stability, but short-term price swings are expected to continue.
