- XRP broke below $ 2 twice in the second quarter
- The increase focused on ETF is convincing, but can it help demand?
The Q2 was brutal for the price of XRP, even the acute undercoat of the Q1.
After the closing of the first quarter at $ 2.13, well towards his $ 3.40 peak in January, XRP has now lost the $ 2 handle twice in the second quarter, signaling weakness and indecision. The momentum fades, the quarterly returns are flat and the bulls have trouble recovering the key levels.
And yet, with Bloomberg attributing a 95% chance to the approval of XRP ETF, the story can be far from finished. Can Ripple really stands on “Hype Etf” alone?
ETF flows could offset a massive reassessment
There is no doubt that the ETFs have proven to be institutional magnets, Bitcoin and Ethereum already proving the model.
Thus, when Bloomberg places a probability of 95% on the approval of the ETF XRP, it cannot simply be rejected as another configuration of “sale-New-News”.
In fact, analysts already model scenarios.
A model provides that if ETF XRP only captures 35% of Bitcoin ETF flows, this would represent $ 16.331 billion in net entries in the Ripple ecosystem – a level of demand that could trigger a major re -evaluation.
With XRP negotiating around $ 2 and a market capitalization of $ 125.87 billion spread over 58.93 billion tokens, even a conservative model would indicate a massive increase of 1.759 dollars.
This would put the expected XRP price at $ 29.89, marking one of the most explosive increase in the table. However, Will the side of the request for the ETF equation really appear?
The XRP technical failure deepens
Despite clear signs of technical tension, XRP has not yet attended a large -scale capitulation. As Ambcrypto noted, underwater holders do not make losses – a classic prerequisite for wider distribution phases.
In chain, the portfolio cohort of 10k to 100k now controls 11.35% of the offer, just after the cohort <100k, which holds 84% dominant.
Combined, these groups represent 95% of the power supply of XRP – an unusually tight property concentration.

From the point of view of the structure of the market, if the FNB obtains the green light, this type of concentrated property could quickly embark on a major re -evaluation lag.
Thus, although a $ 30 XRP may seem to be a section, it is not out of the table. In fact, in the right conditions, this could serve as a inflection point which redefines the trajectory of the Ripple market.
