Ripple will release 1 billion XRP from escrow on November 1, 2025, continuing its scheduled monthly unlock.  At today’s price of $2.48, the tranche carries a notional value of $2.48 billion. The release lands at a pivotal moment for the token. The SEC faces a cluster of XRP ETF deadlines in late October and early November, with a decision on Grayscale’s filing expected by October 29. A post-shutdown approval wave, analysts say, could mirror the Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF rollouts that have already attracted more than $150 billion in inflows. Since XRP now enjoys legal clarity as a non-security, approval could act as a structural demand catalyst, offsetting the near-term impact of fresh supply from escrow.

Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP extended their slide Tuesday as renewed US–China tensions deepened market jitters, sending silver surging to a record high. Beijing announced sanctions on the US units of South Korean shipbuilder Hanwha Ocean and warned of further action against the maritime sector, escalating tensions between the world’s two largest economies and damping hopes of a near-term thaw. Global equities fell, and the fallout rippled through digital assets, triggering another wave of liquidations that pushed major tokens to multi-week lows.

Ripple (XRP) is one of the leading cryptocurrency tokens to exist today. The token has faced a great deal of resistance to pave a path that seems inspirational for many reasons.

If that was not it, the token’s stablecoin RLUSD is also gaining rapid mainstream momentum now that the US government continues to shift its focus towards the stablecoin domain. What if the US government ends up adopting RLUSD officially as its leading financial option? Will that help XRP to claim and breach ambitious price levels? Let’s find out.

The XRP price edged up 1.4% in the last 24 hours to trade at $3.14 as of 02:29 a.m. EST on trading volume that surged 7% to $8.1 billion. This comes as Bitcoin Maxi Pierre Rochard, vice president of research at Riot Platforms, said that Ripple lobbying is behind President Donald Trump’s to sign an executive order for a digital asset stockpile instead of a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. “It’s Ripple,” he said. “They are aggressively lobbying against the SBR by throwing around $millions at politicians, desperately trying to derail it.” Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse said the company’s intention was not to hinder the creation of the Bitcoin reserve but rather support a reserve that may also include other tokens. Unless you are choosing to ignore the core tenants of the POTUS campaign (which aggressively supports American companies and technologies), our efforts are actually INCREASING the likelihood of a crypto strategic reserve (which includes bitc...

Ripple president Monica Long thinks additional crypto exchange-traded fund (ETF) approvals will usher in another big year for digital assets in 2025. Long predicts in a new interview with Bloomberg Crypto that “various crypto spot ETFs” will receive a seal of approval in the US this year. The Ripple president also says payments-focused altcoin XRP is “likely to be the next in line” in terms of ETF approvals. Multiple ETF providers filed Form S-1 registration statements for XRP ETFs with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) last year, including Bitwise Asset Management, 21Shares, Canary Capital and WisdomTree. The SEC greenlit the first spot market Bitcoin (BTC) ETFs last January, bringing in billions of dollars worth of inflows to the top digital asset by market cap. The regulator subsequently approved Ethereum (ETH) ETFs for trading in July. Long predicts the approvals on those newer XRP filings will accelerate due to President-e...

As the year 2024 comes to an end, the cryptocurrency community is eager to see what the coming year holds. Throughout the past 12 months, several assets in the market recorded a notable uptick.
