In October 2025, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) will face key decisions that could significantly impact XRP. ETF approvals are expected to drive price growth and institutional interest in the cryptocurrency.
Growth of Institutional Interest in XRP
This year, more than a dozen ETFs on XRP have been filed, with seven products currently under review. This has sparked investor interest in XRP-linked funds, including Teucrium's ETF, which became the firm's best-performing product, attracting over $300 million in inflows within three months.
Expected Inflows into XRP ETFs
Industry leaders have started outlining possible inflow scenarios for XRP ETFs. According to Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, up to $5 billion could flow into XRP ETFs within the first month of trading. This could significantly increase the interest of institutional investors.
Price Predictions for XRP by End of 2025
Analysis by Gemini AI suggests that if all pending XRP ETFs are approved, the price could reach between $10 and $16 by December 2025. This could push XRP's market capitalization above $500 billion, but such forecasts remain speculative and depend on a wide range of factors.
Thus, October 2025 could be a turning point for XRP. SEC approval may attract significant institutional participation; however, the sustainability of this interest in the long term will depend on market conditions and investor sentiment.
