The post XRP Price Set to Explode on May 19th appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News XRP is on the verge of a major breakout that could redefine its future in the crypto space. According to top analyst J4b1 , a massive rally could be triggered as XRP joins the futures ETF club, following the same pattern that drove up Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana prices. XRP Futures ETF by CME Group Launching May 19 In a bold move, the CME Group is set to launch XRP futures ETFs on May 19 —a historic milestone that mirrors how BTC and ETH surged following their own futures ETF approvals. In a recent post on X, J4b1 highlighted how this could be XRP’s most significant turning point yet. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse weighed in, stating , “While overdue in a bunch of ways, this is an incredibly important and exciting step in the continued growth of the XRP market.” This move comes as over 80 crypto ETFs await approval in the U.S.— 20 of which are for XRP alone. With pro-crypto Paul Atkins as the new SEC Chair , the landscape has shifted drastically from the previous administration’s stance. This leadership change could fast-track spot ETF approvals and open doors for mainstream adoption. Institutions Are Quietly Accumulating XRP Ripple is reportedly moving closer to a settlement with the SEC , which could remove one of the last hurdles for XRP’s full-scale adoption. The first-ever XRP spot ETF, XRP H11 , is already live in Brazil via Hashdex, showing that global institutional interest in XRP is already gaining serious traction. At the same time, liquidity is rising across markets. The Federal Reserve has now opened the door for banks to engage with crypto , and central banks are reportedly exploring crypto reserves. Governments and financial institutions are quietly preparing for a major shift—and XRP is at the center. Analyst: XRP to Hit $10, $20… and Beyond? Crypto expert BarriC says buying XRP now is like grabbing it in 2017 before the explosion . He predicts XRP will easily break through $3, $5, and then hit $10 to $20 as institutional money starts pouring in. He even hints at a long-term XRP price hitting $100 to $1,000 , especially once major banks adopt it for cross-border transactions . “The moment one major bank officially uses XRP for payments, everything changes,” BarriC said. “We’ll leave the 4-year price cycles behind, and XRP will never be this cheap again.” The Perfect Storm for a Massive XRP Rally With the following catalysts aligning: XRP Futures ETF launch by CME Ripple-SEC settlement progress Brazil’s XRP Spot ETF New SEC Chair Paul Atkins Rising institutional liquidity Banks and governments engaging in crypto reserves Peace talks between Russia and Ukraine Easing global tariff tensions …everything points toward a perfect storm for XRP. As crypto ETFs gain momentum globally, XRP is emerging as a top contender for the next wave of institutional adoption. If the stars align, XRP may not just surge—it might lead the next crypto bull run.
