Ripple XRP on the rise: price rises despite challenges – opportunities for investors!
The cryptocurrency Ripple (XRP) recorded a remarkable price increase of around 3.3% last Saturday, May 31, 2025. This uptrend has prevented a possible crash that had been foreshadowed in the previous days. Calculated in euros, the price fell below the 1.90 euro mark, but prices are currently struggling to exceed this psychologically important limit.
Chart analysts predict that XRP will likely remain in a range between 1.90 and 2.10 euros. Nevertheless, there is a possibility that an upward trend is in sight if the 2.40 euro mark is exceeded. However, Ripple has a significant disadvantage in terms of tradability compared to Bitcoin. While Bitcoin is already traded in futures and ETFs, futures are now available for Ripple for the first time, which could potentially pave the way for the introduction of ETFs. Current prices show that Ripple remains in a sideways trend.
First XRP futures ETF in the US
A significant development in the field of XRP trading instruments is the start of trading of the first US-based ETF that tracks XRP futures one-to-one. The ETF is named Volatility Shares XRP ETF (XRPI) and began trading on the Nasdaq exchange on Thursday, May 22, 2025. This ETF has a gross expense ratio of 1.15%, with a net expense ratio of 0.94% after fee waivers. At least 80% of the ETF's assets will be invested in XRP futures contracts as well as shares of other XRP-linked ETPs.
Additionally, Volatility Shares plans to launch a leveraged 2x XRP futures ETF that will join Teucrium (XXRP). The XXRP had attracted $121 million in assets under management to date and could provide a strong appeal for investors. Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas called the launch of XRPI a “good signal of demand” for XRP-based financial instruments.
Overall, the market situation for Ripple seems promising, both due to the new ETF option and the recent price developments. However, investors should keep an eye on market developments before making decisions.
