Expert Reveals Three Key Developments That Will Boost Ripple And XRP This Year

Highlights

Incoming Stablecoin Regulations To Trigger Increased Ripple Utility

Digital asset researcher Anders has revealed via an X post that Ripple will end 202 on a positive note. According to the analyst, several positive factors are aligning for XRP that will send adoption rates through the roof.

Anders notes that the factors come on the heels of the SEC officially dropping its case against Ripple Labs. As parties tie up loose ends in the case, Anders says the first sign of Ripple’s growing adoption is already in play.

He adds that another key development is the potential for Ripple Custody after the SEC repealed the SAB 122 rule. Flowing from that, banks will be able to custody cryptocurrencies, a major needle-moving factor given Ripple’s robust custody infrastructure.

Furthermore, incoming stablecoin regulations will be upbeat for RLUSD with Anders highlighting its regulatory compliance and growing metrics.

“So with all these three regulatory developments in the US arriving at roughly the same time, the timing for Ripple couldn’t have been better!” said Anders.

ETF Approvals Will Cap Off A Stellar Year

Anders notes that the possibility of XRP ETFs gaining approval from the US will be a game-changer for XRP. According to the analyst, a tentative date for the ETF approvals is the second half of 2025.

At the moment, over 10 XRP ETFs are awaiting SEC approvals with experts eyeing XRP to reach $8 from the ETF buzz.

“Add to it XRP ETFs likely granted in the second half of this year!” said Anders. “2025 is looking like it will be a great year for Ripple and XRP.”

Apart from ETF approvals, the potential inclusion of XRP in the Digital Asset Stockpile will be a tailwind for Ripple. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse predicts that XRP will earn a place in the US Digital Asset Stockpile.
