The post XRP Price Prediction As Canary Capital CEO Talks $10 Billion ETF Inflows appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
XRP is trading just above $3.30, gaining more than 9% in the past 24 hours. The rally comes even as the U.S. government shutdown has frozen the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), halting all progress on pending spot XRP ETF applications. Analysts say the lack of movement is not due to rejection but simply because no staff are available to review or approve filings.
Currently, six XRP ETF proposals remain active from Grayscale, 21Shares, Bitwise, WisdomTree, Canary Capital, and CoinShares. Once the SEC resumes operations, multiple approvals could be issued at once, similar to the wave of Bitcoin ETF approvals earlier this year.
Canary Capital CEO Predicts Record ETF Inflows
In a recent interview with Paul Barron, Steven McClurg, CEO of Canary Capital, reiterated his bold outlook for XRP ETFs. He initially predicted $5 billion in inflows within the first month, but now says the number could climb as high as $10 billion.
“I think it’s a very safe bet,” McClurg said. He recalled how the first Bitcoin futures ETF he worked on drew more than $1 billion on its first day, ranking among the top ten ETF launches in history. Given how Bitcoin saw over $3 billion in a single day, he said it wouldn’t be surprising if XRP ETFs reached $2–3 billion on day one.
Such inflows, he added, would place XRP ETFs among the top 20 ETFs of all time, potentially even the top 10, depending on market conditions at launch.
Regulatory Path Remains Critical
The outlook for XRP also hinges on regulatory clarity. The SEC and CFTC recently began joint discussions on crypto oversight, a move seen as an early step toward unified U.S. regulation. Former SEC commissioner Paul Atkins has pushed for an “innovation exemption” to accelerate digital asset approvals, which could directly benefit XRP.
XRP Price Prediction: What’s Next?
XRP is currently struggling to break through a strong resistance zone between $3.10 and $3.15. Each time the token enters this range, it faces rejection, meaning sellers remain active at these levels.
On the downside, the first key support lies around $2.93–$2.94. If XRP falls below that, analysts expect the price could retest the stronger support zone near $2.70–$2.80, an area that has triggered several rebounds in recent months.
