XRP price has recorded significant gains today, soaring more than 6% amid a broader crypto market recovery. The sudden spike comes amid growing speculations that the leading asset manager BlackRock could soon file for an ETF for Ripple’s native asset and Solana. Besides, renowned experts predicted a potential rally for the asset, potentially sending it to a new ATH.
BlackRock’s ETF Filing Speculations Gain Traction
The XRP community is abuzz with speculation following a recent statement from ETF Store President Nate Geraci. In a recent X post, Geraci suggested that BlackRock may file for both Solana and XRP ETFs in the near future.
He emphasized that the giant asset manager, which currently leads in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF assets, is unlikely to let competitors take the lead on two of the top five non-stablecoin crypto assets. Geraci stated:
“BlackRock will file for both Solana and XRP ETFs. Solana could be any day. Think xrp once the SEC lawsuit concluded. I simply don’t see them allowing competitors to come in & launch ETFs on 2 of the top 5 non-stablecoin crypto assets w/out any sort of fight.”
Meanwhile, his comments have reignited investor confidence in XRP’s potential, especially as BlackRock’s involvement could drive major institutional interest.
XRP Price Targets $5 Amid Bullish Projections
Following Geraci’s statement, market analysts have turned bullish on XRP. Notably, a recent report hints at a potential rally for Ripple’s native asset to $15 in the coming days. Besides, another expert has shared a bullish forecast, hinting towards a new ATH ahead.
Well-known crypto expert, Rose Premium Channels, shared an optimistic price prediction, suggesting that XRP could soon hit $5. According to the analysis, XRP’s key support levels lie at $2.1 and $2.2, while its next targets stand at $3, $4.2, and ultimately $5.
With the potential ETF filing and the broader market recovery, traders anticipate a strong uptrend for XRP. Some analysts even project a double-digit long-term target, should the ETF materialize and market conditions remain favorable.
