XRP News: The recent global shifting focus toward digital assets has once again fueled a rally in the broader digital assets space.

XRP News: Ripple ETF Speculations Boost Sentiment

In the latest XRP news, Polymarket showed that there is a 70% probability of a potential Ripple ETF approval in the US. According to the data, the bets have increased significantly over a potential approval by December 31, 2025.

For context, Bitcoin as well as the top altcoins has recorded a robust rally over the past few months. Donald Trump’s victory and his active support for the crypto market during his election campaign have bolstered the market sentiments.

Besides, his recent nomination of crypto-friendly Paul Atkins as the new US SEC chair after Gary Gensler has further fueled investors’ hope. This move has also sparked discussions over a potential dismissal of the Ripple Vs SEC lawsuit under the incoming SEC chair.

Having said that, several experts anticipate a flurry of crypto ETFs to be approved this year. Apart from XRP ETF, the market experts are also putting their bets on the Solana ETF approval in 2025. Notably, Polymarket data showed that there is an 82% chance of a potential SOL ETF approval in 2025.

What Lies Ahead For Ripple Coin?

XRP price today was up over 3% and traded at $2.42, while its market cap touched $138.88 billion. The one-day trading volume of the crypto fell 41% to $6.22 billion. Notably, the crypto has touched a 24-hour high and low of $2.47 and $2.35, respectively. However, despite the surge, Ripple Futures Open Interest slumped 2%, highlighting the cautious stance of the investors.

However, the market experts remained optimistic about the future trajectory of the coin. For context, in a recent X post, renowned analyst Dark Defender said that Ripple’s price is poised to hit $5.85 once it soars past the critical support of $2.72. He also noted that the crypto has found a new support at $2.22.
