Crypto ETFs Turn Red Again Led by $204 Million Bitcoin Outflow

XRP is currently trading without a clear bullish sentiment, but a few analysts 
are of the notion that the token is on the verge of something bigger than a 
standard bull cycle. A recent post on X by crypto commentator 24HRSCRYPTO 
predicts that what lies ahead for XRP may not resemble the typical 6-12 month 
surge seen in previous cycles. Instead, he believes a multi-year expansion 
phase could be unfolding, one based on liquidity and real-world utility. XRP 
Is About To Change Forever At the time of writing, XRP is now stuck trading 
within a consolidation structure between $1.30 and $1.50. However, this hasn&#8217;t 
stopped bullish proponents from projecting bullish price targets for XRP all 
over social media. This is mostly due to ongoing developments across the XRP 
Ledger ecosystem and Ripple’s expanding institutional footprint, which are all 
giving long-term holders reasons to hold on to their bullish predictions.

pushed on by narrative momentum. This is actually visible in the 2017 and 2021 
rallies, coinciding with speculative enthusiasm across the crypto sector, 
sending XRP to highs in a short period of time. Those moves were rapid, 
emotional, and heavily sentiment-driven by inflows from retail investors and 
individual whale investors. The XRP ecosystem&#8217;s dynamics have changed since 
then, and according to 24HRSCRYPTO, the next XRP price cycle will be driven by 
structural integration. Instead of hype cycles, the focus is on XRP’s core 
design as a bridge asset for cross-border settlement. The expectation is that 
liquidity will start to flow across institutions that use XRP, and therefore, 
its price behavior will transition from volatile behavior to valuation tied 
more directly to usage. As networks scale, liquidity deepens, and real value 
moves on-chain, assets that fuel the system won’t behave like casino chips 
anymore. Ledger Developments And Institutional Positioning Recent upgrades and 
ecosystem milestones also support the infrastructure narrative. Developers and 
validators of the XRP Ledger are introducing features to improve institutional 
accessibility of XRP. The most recent feature is the launch of permissioned 
decentralized exchange functionality, which is designed to make on-chain 
activity more attractive to regulated banks and financial institutions.

Major Levels Ripple, the company closely associated with XRP’s enterprise 
adoption strategy, has continued to position itself within the global payments 
and tokenization landscape. The company has expanded partnerships across 
financial institutions and has emphasized the tokenization of real-world 
assets as a key growth avenue. Some of these partnerships include a recent 
strategic partnership with a UAE-based digital bank as part of its effort to 
break into financial institutions in the Middle East. There are other 
instances of this, ranging from partnerships to develop tokenized versions of 
traditional funds on the XRP Ledger to acquisitions of financial companies, 
all of which are part of Ripple&#8217;s plans to expand its global footprint. These 
are all moves that support an infrastructure-driven outlook for XRP&#8217;s future 
price action. Featured image created with Dall.E, chart from Tradingview.com
