XRP (XRP-USD) is coiled for what one analyst calls a “biblical move” — a possible moonshot to $25 if an ETF gets greenlit — before it all comes crashing down in a 90% wipeout.

XRP is up nearly 10% in days, hovering around $2.25, after odds of ETF approval jumped to 98%, according to Polymarket. That’s up from just 68% in April — a shift that’s ignited both traders and chart watchers.
Major firms like Grayscale, Bitwise, 21Shares, and Franklin Templeton are all circling the SEC with filings. And momentum isn’t just speculative: CME Group’s XRP futures ETF, launched May 19, pulled in $19 million on day one, underscoring institutional appetite.
Institutions Pile In as XRP Treasuries Top $470 Million
In a move that would have been laughed off a year ago, three companies across different sectors have committed $471 million to XRP treasuries, including Webus International’s $300 million reserve filing with the SEC. That’s not a meme bet — that’s macro.
Add Ripple’s legal victory over the SEC in March and you’ve got something traders are calling the most bullish XRP setup in years.
“Biblical Move” to $25 Then Total Collapse
The drama doesn’t stop with approval odds. Analysts are calling for extreme upside — and then a brutal reversal.
Egrag Crypto forecasts XRP may spike to $20–$27, driven by a long-term bull flag and a technical setup he calls “The Guardian Arch.” But he warns, “The next bullish phase could be harsh and might drop like the 2021 bear market — around 86%.” That would send XRP crashing back to $3.
Meanwhile, analyst Jaydee_757 is invoking the 2017 bullish divergence, saying it could repeat a 20x price run, pushing XRP toward $25. But then? “The present time has a similar structure! Biblical move to $25, then historical crash,” he wrote.
XRP Teeters between Chart Euphoria and Institutional Demand
All signs — from chart fractals and Elliott Wave setups to corporate treasury filings — are pointing to something big. Whether it’s a sustainable rally or a blow-off top is the trillion-dollar question.
What’s clear is this: if an XRP ETF lands, the market won’t wait to price it in. And if it peaks near $25 as analysts claim, history says the aftermath won’t be kind.
At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.25.
