Why is XRP the Better Investment for the Next Five Years?

Rising Institutional Demand on an Asset with Fixed Supply

ETF Hype Amid Regulatory Clarity in the United States

The organic demand for XRP from whale institutional investors is evident through the ETF hype in the United States. More than a dozen fund managers have filed for spot XRP exchange-traded funds with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

After the U.S. SEC approved a generic listing standard for crypto assets, the odds of more than a dozen spot XRP ETFs being approved after the opening of the U.S. government. 

Notably, the first U.S.-listed spot XRP ETF, dubbed REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR), recently surpassed $100 million in assets under management.

Rising Demand for XRP as a Treasury Management Tool by Public Companies

Beyond ETFs, XRP is gaining traction as a potential tool for corporate treasury management, offering potential efficiencies in cross-border payments and liquidity. The emergence of Evernorth Holdings, led by former Ripple executive Asheesh Birla, strongly validates this use case.

Evernorth is building a massive XRP treasury (already holding ~261 million XRP) and recently announced plans for a $1 billion cash fund specifically to acquire more XRP. This initiative boasts backing from major players like SBI Holdings, Pantera Capital, and Ripple itself. 

Evernorth’s move signals growing confidence among sophisticated players that holding and utilizing XRP within corporate treasuries offers tangible benefits, creating a new, potentially large-scale source of demand.

CME Options Signal Maturing XRP Derivatives Market

Last week, CME Group announced that its XRP Options, which are based on futures, are live. The regulated exchange announced that its XRP futures have recorded a significant demand from institutional investors, whereby it reached $26.9 billion in notional volume in five months.

XRP Monthly Chart Holds Key Levels, Analyst Eyes Upside (Egrag)

Supporting the fundamental drivers is a resilient long-term technical picture, according to some chart analysts. Despite volatile consolidation throughout the year, XRP’s monthly chart reportedly shows the price holding above critical structural levels.

Market analyst Egrag Crypto notes that as long as XRP maintains its position above the key liquidity range between $1.97 and $2.20, its broader macro bullish structure remains valid.

Egrag suggests this technical posture, combined with the anticipated tailwind from future Fed rate cuts and potential Quantitative Easing (QE), positions XRP favorably for significant upside potential within its long-term structure.
