XRP Price Forecast: ETF Debut and Bull Flag Breakout Signal $5+ Upside

XRP (XRP) is flashing signs of a major bullish breakout, with technical patterns aligning with fresh structural catalysts such as the first US spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval and new partnerships with DBS Bank and Franklin Templeton.

Bull Flag Breakout Targets $5+

On the weekly chart, XRP has already confirmed a breakout from a bull flag pattern, a classic continuation setup that often follows strong rallies.

The measured move from this formation suggests a near-term upside target of around $5.80, or roughly 85% above current levels near $3.10.

The breakout comes after XRP consolidated for weeks in a tightening channel, with momentum shifting firmly back toward the upside.

Larger Pattern Points to $15

Beyond the shorter-term flag, XRP also shows a larger bullish structure stretching back to late 2024.

This setup suggests a decisive continuation move could extend gains toward $15.80, representing a 400%-plus rally from today’s price levels.

This multi-phase structure mirrors historical XRP breakout cycles, where parabolic expansions have followed lengthy accumulation and consolidation periods.

First XRP Spot ETF Approved in the US

The technical case is being reinforced by a wave of fundamental tailwinds.

XRP recently scored approval for the first US spot ETF tied to its token, a milestone that could open the door to billions in inflows from traditional finance investors.

Early trading volumes have already surpassed $24 million in under two hours, marking one of the strongest altcoin ETF debuts to date.

Analysts see significant upside in ETF inflows:

• Projections range from $4 billion to $8 billion entering XRP markets in the ETF’s first year.
• CryptoQuant research suggests ETFs could absorb 1%–4% of XRP’s circulating supply, or 600 million–2.4 billion XRP, translating to $1.8–7.2 billion at current prices.

At the same time, major institutions like DBS Bank and Franklin Templeton have deepened partnerships in the XRP ecosystem.

Alongside Ripple, they are rolling out tokenized trading and lending solutions on the XRP Ledger, powered by Ripple’s US dollar stablecoin (RLUSD) and Franklin Templeton’s tokenized money market fund (sgBENJI).
