Can ETF Approval Push Ripple to $7? Why Analysts See $4 and $7 as the Next XRP Price Predictions

[Ben Graham]

With the SEC’s mid-October decision on spot ETFs looming, the XRP price is trading near a technical inflection point as analysts adjust their XRP price predictions.

Support for XRP price remains firm at $2.70, while resistance in the $3.00–$3.30 band will likely decide if one of September’s top cryptocurrency rallies extends. Should XRP bulls push past that range, 99Bitcoins analysts have adjusted their XRP price predictions to see room for a run toward $4–$7.

“Corrections redistribute supply to stronger hands and support long-term growth,” said David Hernandez of 21Shares, referring to the historic dip opportunity that September brings.

XRP Price Prediction Adjusts: Is Institutional Demand Enough to Absorb Whale Selling?

XRP is being yanked in two directions at once. Futures open interest has swelled to $2.87Bn, and funding rates say the gamblers in leverage-land are leaning bullish. Whales have piled in with 340M tokens scooped up, close to a billion dollars.

But over the weekend we saw a major crypto crash of $1.9Bn XRP tokens pushed back into the market. The so-called smart money can’t even agree on which way is up.

In other news, Metaplanet disclosed plans to raise ¥130B ($880M) and allocate nearly ¥124B ($837M) to Bitcoin and potentially other blue-chip assets like XRP crypto. If replicated by other firms, this could absorb some market supply.

XRP price holds the $2.83 support line as the focal point for traders. A sustained hold signals validation of the bullish triangle pattern that is forming. Beyond the charts, institutional activity has expanded with futures open interest now $2.87 billion, and funding rates reflect a bias toward bullish positioning.

Similar build-ups in prior cycles ended with liquidation waves. That’s why a clean breakout above $3.30 is critical for confirmation; otherwise, a sharp retracement remains in play.

What’s Next for XRP Crypto Before the SEC Decision?

One last bit of bearish news is that Polymarket traders and analysts remain divided if XRP can push to $4 by 2026. At the same time, whale selling, stalled ETF approvals, or broken support levels could reverse momentum just as quickly.

Much now hinges on the SEC’s ruling, which will open the door to more XRP ETFs being approved in October, or could close doors just as fast.   We are likely to break $3 by the end of September, but 99Bitcoins analysts see XRP smashing through $4 by year’s end.
