The XRP price has currently fallen and is trading below $2.50. However, XRP faces two major factors that could determine its price over the next twelve months: potential ETF approval and growing corporate interest in holding XRP.
ETF approval can provide more liquidity
Analyst Crypto Sensei said the market is waiting for spot XRP ETFs. Approval could increase purchasing activity.
XRP has low liquidity on exchanges. A small inflow or outflow can change the market capitalization 50 to 100 times. Retail investors own approximately $2 billion in XRP. Ripple has $35 billion in custody and another $5 to $7 billion for on-demand liquidity. The majority of the supply is in the hands of institutions.
Sensei said a large inflow could reduce price fluctuations. Investors should not expect extreme price increases. The market could grow steadily once liquidity increases.
Companies are adding XRP to government bonds
Several companies are purchasing XRP for their balance sheets. Reliance Global bought for $17 million in September. Gumi in Japan added $13.5 million. Vivo Power bought $100 million through BitGo. Other companies, including Trident Digital Tech and Webus, have made major acquisitions. Smaller companies such as Nature’s Miracle and Hyperscale Data also added XRP.
Sensei said banks and financial institutions have not yet joined in. Once the regulations are clear, more companies could start owning XRP. Limited supply and growing demand can influence the price.
“We have not yet seen any major banks or financial institutions take these steps,” he said. “Once the regulations are clear and companies have confidence in them, this could cause a real supply problem. That’s when things could get interesting.”
The next phase: from early adoption to global integration
The analyst also said that many of these companies are not building decentralized applications or new networks. Instead, they hold XRP as treasury bills to shore up their balance sheets and attract investors – similar to how Bitcoin was used by early corporate government bonds.
He compared the current phase of XRP adoption to the early stages of corporate investment in Ethereum and Bitcoin. “If we see this pattern spread globally, XRP could become a common asset for corporate reserves,” he said. “And that kind of adoption can quietly build momentum behind the scenes.”
