That jump has lifted many altcoins, and XRP is no exception. Another analyst pointed out that Bitcoin rose from $27k to $74k over about two years, while XRP could match that rise in a much shorter span. It’s a bold claim, but the timing does feel ripe. ETF Approval Odds Based on prediction by Polymarket, there’s an 83% chance the SEC will approve an XRP ETF. Big names like Bitwise and Grayscale have filings in play. If those get the green light, institutional flows could pour in. Some US-listed leveraged XRP futures already trade heavily, showing strong demand. Whales And Wider Trends Whale wallets keep accumulating XRP, adding to the buzz. Every time large holders buy, prices tend to spike. At the same time, broader market mood matters. If Bitcoin pulls back, altcoins often follow. But right now, the tide seems to be turning in XRP’s favor.
