🚀 XRP Surges as ETF and CME Futures Inflows Hit New Record
October 24, 2025 – The crypto market continues to be buoyant as Ripple’s XRP gains more than 3% in the past 24 hours, amid optimism from institutional investment products like the XRP ETF and record-high volumes on CME futures.
Technical Signs Show Uptrend Forming
On the 4-hour chart, XRP is forming an inverted head and shoulders pattern – often seen as a strong bullish reversal signal. If the price breaks out of the $2.50 resistance zone, the market could head towards the next target around $2.80 – $3.00.
According to on-chain data, XRP’s trading volume increased by more than 45% on the day, indicating that new money is returning after weeks of accumulation.
“The market is starting to reflect institutional investor confidence,” said technical analyst Ben Cowen. “The XRP price model this time has a stronger foundation due to ETF inflows, rather than just short-term volatility.”
XRP ETF Surpasses $100 Million – A Major Milestone for Altcoin
According to data from REX-Osprey, the XRP ETF (ticker: XXRP) – the first ETF product tracking the price of XRP – has just surpassed $100 million in assets under management (AUM) just weeks after its launch.
The milestone makes XRP the fastest-growing altcoin ETF since Ethereum, indicating that institutional demand for the asset is expanding rapidly.
The XRP ETF has a 0.75% expense ratio, which is higher than Bitcoin ETFs, but investors are still willing to pay for the level of regulated access and high liquidity it provides.
CME Sets New Record With Over $26 Billion XRP Futures
In parallel with the ETF, the world’s largest derivatives platform, CME (Chicago Mercantile Exchange), also recorded XRP futures volume exceeding $26 billion, the highest level since the product was listed.
Major financial institutions such as JP Morgan, Fidelity, and Galaxy Digital are said to have joined XRP futures trading in October, contributing to the positive liquidity and volatility of this coin.
The combination of spot ETFs and strong futures contracts is helping XRP enter an institutional growth cycle similar to what Bitcoin experienced in 2024.
Ripple Expands Influence in the Global Payments Sector
XRP’s price momentum also comes from positive updates in the Ripple ecosystem, including the expansion of its cross-border payment network in Asia and the Middle East.
Ripple has just announced three new banking partners in Singapore, Dubai and Saudi Arabia – a region seen as a major growth hub for blockchain applications in international payments.
Conclusion: XRP is entering a period of sustainable growth
With an ETF reaching $100 million, futures volume exceeding $26 billion and a clear technical reversal pattern, XRP is showing the potential to break out to its highest price zone since 2021.
If the trend of institutional capital flows continues, analysts believe that XRP could be the altcoin that leads the wave in Q4/2025, especially in the context of large funds looking to diversify beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
