Institutional adoption of XRP has further fueled this trend. The first U.S. spot XRP ETF has surpassed $100 million in assets, with hedge funds and family offices accounting for 40% of holdings. CME’s XRP futures have recorded $26.9 billion in notional volume since launching in May, reflecting growing trust in the asset’s utility and regulatory standing, as reported by
Although Ethereum is currently trading at $3,880, both technical and institutional factors suggest a bullish outlook. With critical support levels holding and significant accumulation by major players, the prospect of reaching $6,000 or higher is becoming more likely—especially if favorable macroeconomic and regulatory conditions persist.
