Cryptocurrency Analyst Predicts XRP ETF Could Boost Price
Cryptocurrency analyst and game designer Chad Steingraber has analyzed the potential impact of an XRP Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) on the value of XRP. According to Steingraber, the approval of an XRP ETF could lead to a significant increase in the price of the cryptocurrency. He explained that if an XRP ETF is introduced, public exchanges may hold a large volume of XRP, shaping the market presence of the token. Additionally, as the ETF actively buys XRP from the public, it would reduce the circulating supply and increase demand, potentially triggering a price increase.
XRP ETF Strategy for Price Increase
Steingraber outlined a two-pronged strategy for an XRP ETF to drive a price increase. On the utility side, he envisions directing XRP collected through the ETF into an institutional liquidity hub, allowing investors to actively utilize the token. On the investment front, he believes that an XRP ETF could attract investments and influence cryptocurrency demand, leading to a higher price for XRP. However, it’s important to note that these projections remain speculative as no official reports have confirmed the introduction of an XRP ETF.
Analyst Explains Reasons Behind XRP’s Price Decline
Steingraber also discussed why XRP has struggled to achieve significant gains in recent years. He identified the lack of new money entering the market as the primary factor affecting the price of XRP. When asked about the likelihood of a price surge in 2024, Steingraber predicted that once the legal dispute between XRP and the SEC is resolved, new money could flow into the market and potentially increase the value of XRP.
