Analyst Claims XRP Price Will Surge To $220 Due To ETFs, But Is This Possible?

Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber has sparked both excitement and skepticism in the crypto community with a bold prediction for the XRP price. According to his technical analysis, XRP could surge to an astonishing $220 solely due to the impact of its Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). He draws a parallel with Bitcoin’s historic price spike following its spot ETF launch, suggesting that institutional adoption and market enthusiasm could drive a similar meteoric rise for XRP. While the bold claim has caught the interest of market participants, questions remain about whether this projection is realistically achievable. XRP Price To Reach $220 From ETF InfluenceOn Wednesday, Steingraber shared his bullish XRP price forecast on X social media, suggesting that the cryptocurrency could experience an explosive surge to $220 depending on the results of its ETFs. He bases this striking prediction on the potential impact of institutional inflows, arguing that the launch of major XRP ETFs could dramatically increase XRP’s demand and price. Steingraber has based his XRP price projection on Bitcoin’s post-ETF launch performance in 2024. He pointed out that the BTC price roughly doubled in value during the first year after its Spot ETF debut, driven by strong institutional adoption, market enthusiasm, and broader momentum. Using this as a benchmark, the analyst compares both the absolute and percentage gains of Bitcoin to estimate that XRP could experience a similar surge in value. He believes that with the potentially massive inflows set to come from XRP ETFs, the current price of the cryptocurrency could multiply by 100x to reach $220. Steingraber has highlighted the Canary XRP ETF, XRPC, which recorded massive consecutive inflows this month and became one of the most successful ETF launches in 2025, as evidence of growing institutional interest. He described XRPC as a “warning shot,” signaling the arrival of other major players in the market. ETF Inflows To Consume Supply, Amplifying Price Pressure In a separate analysis, Steingraber examined the potential effects of ETF inflows on XRP’s supply and price. He envisioned a scenario where multiple funds collectively acquire over $1 billion worth of XRP in a single day, which is equivalent to more than 229 million XRP. Extending this hypothetical situation, he calculated that weekly ETF activity could absorb over 1.14 billion XRP, while monthly accumulation could exceed 4.58 billion XRP.In about six months, he surmised that ETF demand could theoretically purchase nearly 27.5 billion XRP, an amount large enough to consume a significant portion of the cryptocurrency’s circulating supply. Additionally, Steingraber’s projection highlights the potential structural pressure that institutional ETFs could exert on the altcoin’s price. Even without price appreciation, the analyst suggests that the scale of potential ETF inflows could create supply constraints that could drive upward momentum. Additionally, he predicts that the collective ETFs could drain the entire public supply within one year.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei NewsBTC
