SEC Moves Boost XRP Market Sentiment
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has authorized the inclusion of XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM in the Nasdaq Crypto US Settlement Price Index, triggering renewed bullish sentiment across the altcoin market.
This move is seen as a signal of strong liquidity and accurate pricing, addressing one of the major concerns regulators have expressed regarding spot crypto ETFs.
XRP’s inclusion removes a significant hurdle for potential ETF approval, and market participants view this as a step toward broader institutional access to altcoins.
ETF Advocates Push for Regulatory Fairness
Investment firms including VanEck, 21Shares, and Canary have publicly urged the SEC to reinstate the “First-to-File” rule, a policy that gives priority to the earliest applicants for ETF approval.
Restoring this rule would streamline the approval process and encourage innovation in the crypto ETF space, especially for altcoins that are gaining regulatory clarity.
The recent developments are expected to increase pressure on regulators to treat altcoins more like Bitcoin and Ethereum, which already have spot ETF products under review or approval.
XRP Technical Analysis Suggests Cycle Breakout
Technical analysts tracking XRP’s long-term price behavior highlight a repeating fractal pattern, often referred to as “Cycle 3.” According to chart data, XRP is entering a key breakout phase following two historic impulsive growth patterns.
- The first XRP cycle spanned a rally from under $0.01 to nearly $3.50.
- The second phase showed a broader but more gradual climb.
- Current market structure suggests XRP is building toward a third impulse move, with technical support forming around the $0.50–$0.55 zone.
Analysts point to rising volume, consistent accumulation, and growing institutional interest as supporting signals.
Market Outlook Remains Positive Amid ETF Momentum
The rising odds of altcoin ETF approvals are positioning XRP for significant upside potential. If ETF filings progress and further clarity emerges from regulators, XRP may test key resistance levels around $0.65 and $0.75 in the near term.
Investor sentiment is turning increasingly optimistic, especially as XRP becomes more integrated into institutional-grade indices.
While short-term volatility remains a factor, the long-term outlook for XRP is improving in parallel with growing acceptance of regulated crypto investment vehicles.
