Crypto Strategist Predicts XRP 100x Rally to $225 Driven by ETFs

XRP is potentially set for a major rally, driven by expanding ETF activity and institutional participation. Analyst Chad Steingraber projects a path to $225 per token through a series of milestones:

  • Fivefold rise to $11.25
  • Tenfold to $22.50
  • Twentyfold to $45
  • Fortyfold to $90
  • Sixtyfold to $135
  • Ultimately a 100-fold increase to $225

The analysis highlights how ETF-driven demand and institutional acquisition create a supply-demand imbalance, leading to price increases as necessary market responses. Despite short-term declines (1.8% over 24 hours and 8.4% over two weeks), these are minor compared to the structural forces at play.

Steingraber suggests that with annual inflows estimated at $33.6 billion, most available XRP could be acquired within a year. Aggressive scenarios could see the entire circulating supply absorbed in less than six months. Current acquisition rates are significant, with seven major funds acquiring $20 million daily each, totaling $140 million daily, $700 million weekly, and $2.8 billion monthly.

This creates rapid scarcity, making substantial price increases unavoidable. The rising price of XRP is a structural necessity to maintain market balance amid large-scale institutional buy-ins.
