TradFi giant Franklin Templeton, with over $1.5 trillion in assets under management, is now the latest to file for spot XRP ETF approval under the new pro-crypto SEC regime. 

Just a day later, XRP’s parent company Ripple has secured another major win, becoming the first crypto payments and services provider to receive a Dubai Financial Services Authority license. 

These latest developments give further credence to the bullish XRP price predictions from prominent analysts, who back it as one of the most lucrative crypto investments in 2025. 

However, sidelined investors must still time their buys strategically to maximize returns, considering the possibility of short-term volatility. 

XRP Price In Green After Spot XRP ETF Race, Dubai Payments Approval 

The XRP price is in the green on Thursday, despite the broader market bearishness and Bitcoin being down nearly 4%. 

XRP is one of the few altcoins that continues to outperform Bitcoin, with its BTC trading pair up nearly 5% today and 12% over the past 6 months. 

Ripple’s recent wins should further cement it as one of the best cryptos to buy on the market. 

The $1.5 trillion asset management fund Franklin Templeton has further improved the spot XRP ETF approval odds. It joins institutions like Bitwise, Grayscale and Wisdom Tree in the high-stakes XRP ETF race.

The proposed listing exchange Cboe BZX has submitted its 19b-4 filing to SEC’s Department of Trading and Markets, citing Franklin Templeton as the issuer and Coinbase Custody as the custodian. 

Considering the warm relationship between Ripple and the new White House, the odds of spot XRP ETF approval are high, despite the agency previously viewing the asset as a non-registered security under ex-Chair Gary Gensler. 

With Trump’s new SEC Chair Paul Atkins being far more pro-crypto, it is highly likely that the agency wouldn’t challenge Judge Analisa Torres’s July 2023 ruling, making XRP’s non-security status the law of the land. 

Consequently, spot XRP ETF approvals are likely just a matter of time. 

In another win, Ripple has become the first company to secure a DFSA license to provide crypto payments and services at the Dubai International Finance Center (DIFC). The company can now tap into UAE’s $400 billion market for international trade, which could supercharge XRP’s adoption in the Middle East. 

XRP Price Prediction — When To Buy For Maximum Returns?

There is a growing consensus among experts that the XRP cycle top isn’t in just yet. 

With key metrics like the soaring global liquidity and rapidly easing financial conditions indicating an explosive crypto rally in 2025, prominent investors anticipate new all-time highs for XRP. 

XRP price predictions from prominent analysts reveal that the altcoin could peak anywhere between $5 to $9 in the coming months. 

However, sidelined investors should remain cautious when buying the dip. XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) formed a bearish divergence on the weekly timeframe in December 2024 after the asset became overbought following Trump’s re-election.

Typically, such divergences lead to the RSI swinging to the opposite extreme and entering oversold territory, which has yet to occur.

Ideally, investors should wait for a successful retest of the $1.65 and $2 support levels before entering positions.

These Are The Best Cryptos To Buy Besides XRP

Bitcoin continues to be one of the top picks among experts for the best cryptos to buy. 

Considering its bullish strength during this bull cycle, few altcoins are expected to outperform it in 2025. 

In fact, smart money investors are hunting for Bitcoin-themed altcoins and meme coins, viewing them as beta plays. 

For instance, a new meme coin, BTC Bull (BTCBULL), raised nearly $4 million in its ongoing presale in short order, largely due to its promise of free Bitcoin. 

BTCBULL holders will receive free Bitcoin and BTCBULL airdrops, as well as regular token burn events when the BTC price hits certain set milestones. 

The meme coin has managed to generate such hype and FOMO, even before its launch, that many analysts are viewing it as the next 100x crypto. 

AI memes are among the few altcoins showing impressive resilience and considerable bullish strength. Fartcoin is seeing double-digit bounces during the broad-market relief rallies, suggesting high latent demand. 

A new Ethereum-based AI agent coin, MIND of Pepe (MIND), has raised nearly $8 million in its presale, indicating that whales and retailers are still hunting for new projects in the sector. 

Considering the lack of Ethereum-based AI coins, many early buyers are viewing it as a potential 10x investment.
