Ripple (XRP) is trading near $1.41 amid a broader bearish crypto market influenced by geopolitical tensions. Despite this, XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have demonstrated resilience, attracting approximately $1.4 billion in cumulative inflows since their launch. Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart noted the products are heavily driven by retail demand, positioning XRP as a significant ETF contender. Analyst forecasts from sources like Dark Defender and CoinCodex suggest potential long-term price growth, with predictions reaching up to $8.20 by 2040.
Ripple (XRP) is currently priced at $1.41 as bearish momentum dominates the cryptocurrency sector. This pressure is compounded by the Iran-US conflict affecting major digital assets.
The digital asset has a history of exploring higher price levels, including a mark near $3.50. It also solidified its market position following a pivotal 2024 legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
A new trend centers on XRP’s performance within the ETF landscape. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart stated, “The XRP ETFs have actually held up pretty well despite the massive pullback in price.”
He reported these ETFs have gathered a cumulative $1.4 billion since launch. Seyffart further noted, “XRP ETFs are heavily driven by retail demand.”
This development indicates XRP is becoming synonymous with ETFs as an investment vehicle. The ecosystem also gains momentum from Ripple’s global payment network and its RLUSD stablecoin.
Analyst Dark Defender suggested XRP could target the $5.85 level. CoinCodex data provides longer-term forecasts for the asset.
Its models predict XRP could reach $1.67 by the end of 2026 and $5.46 by 2030. The projection extends to $8.20 by 2040 and $13.39 by 2050.
