Will ETFs Push The Asset To $3.50?

There are a few developments that could help propel XRP’s price beyond the $3.50 mark. Firstly, there is a very high chance that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September. A rate cut may lead to a surge in risky investments. XRP and the larger crypto market could greatly benefit from an interest rate cut.

Secondly, the SEC may approve a spot XRP ETF sometime this year. An ETF approval will most likely lead to a surge in institutional investments for the asset. Institutional money has been a central driver behind Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum’s (ETH) rise to new all-time highs this year. A similar pattern could emerge for XRP as well.
