The post Countdown to First Spot XRP ETF: Ripple Price Targets New All-Time Highs appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The countdown is almost over. Within the next 24 hours, the first-ever U.S.-listed spot XRP ETF, backed by Rex-Osprey, will officially launch. The fund will give institutional and retail investors direct exposure to XRP through a regulated structure.

According to early details, the ETF will hold 80% spot XRP while allocating 20% to treasury bonds and income-generating instruments. This design allows for both crypto exposure and steady yield. By directly purchasing XRP for the fund, issuers will be removing supply from open markets, a move analysts say could drive significant price appreciation if inflows are strong.

Other Fresh Catalysts

The ETF launch is only one of several bullish developments for Ripple and the wider crypto market:

CME Group confirmed that options on XRP and Solana futures will go live on October 13, 2025, further expanding institutional access.
The Federal Reserve’s recent rate cut has freed up liquidity across capital markets, sparking renewed momentum in risk assets, including cryptocurrencies.

On-chain data also supports this view: Coinbase’s XRP reserves have dropped from over 1 billion tokens in June to less than 100 million today, fueling speculation that ETF issuers and institutional desks are already accumulating through private channels.

All the good news:

1. REX-Osprey XRP ETF offering spot exposure to $XRP and goes live within 24 hours

2. CME Group announced options on $XRP and Solana futures contracts are coming on 13 October

3. Federal Reserve lowers interest rates.

XRP Price Prediction Ahead of October

XRP has turned green ahead of the ETF launch. Technical analysis shows the token broke above its trendline, retested support successfully, and continues to hold above its 50-day moving average. Key levels to watch are $3.39, followed by $3.65–$3.85.

If XRP can secure daily closes above $3.40 in October, analysts say it could finally break its 2018 all-time high of $3.84 and enter price discovery mode. Many are pointing to Q4 2025 as the critical window for a breakout rally, because of ETF inflows, regulatory clarity, and new derivatives markets.
