XRP, the native token of the payments-focused XRP Ledger closely associated with Ripple, continues to trade under bearish pressure, with analysts watching for a potential accumulation zone ahead of any broader recovery. At the same time, Strive Financial Group's exposure to XRP-linked exchange-traded funds underscores growing institutional interest and could strengthen the cryptocurrency's long-term adoption narrative.

At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.99, with a 24-hour trading volume of $855 million and a market capitalization of $62.68 billion, according to CoinMarketCap. Although the token has shown signs of stability over the last 24 hours, its price structure and the growth of XRP-based ETF products point toward a potential bullish reversal.

XRP Could Target $10 in the Next Major Rally

According to crypto analyst Crypto Patel, XRP's latest decline has validated a bearish warning issued during the 2025 rally, when a weakening bullish structure prompted caution above $3. Since then, the XRP price has undergone a sharp correction, falling roughly 73% from its cycle peak and slipping below $1 for the first time in nearly two years, signaling substantial deterioration in its market structure.

The analyst views the $0.85-$0.65 range as a potential macro accumulation point; however, he does not expect a reversal to take place until the price declines a further 20%-40%. Rather than attempting to pinpoint the exact bottom, he prefers to accumulate gradually in the vicinity of higher-timeframe demand. His long-term targets for the XRP price include $3, $5, $7, and even $10.

Strive Discloses XRP ETF Exposure in 13F Filing

Data highlighted by BankXRP shows that Strive Financial Group has disclosed its positions in XRP-related exchange-traded funds through an updated 13F filing, revealing holdings in the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF and the XRP ETF offered by Canary. This exposure indicates that institutions are increasing their access to regulated XRP-based financial instruments. (Source: BankXRP's X post)

The two funds differ in structure: the Teucrium product, from an issuer best known for its agriculture-focused commodity ETFs, aims to deliver twice XRP's performance each day — a leveraged, short-horizon instrument — while the Canary fund, from a crypto-focused ETF issuer, offers unleveraged exposure to the token. The availability of such products is itself recent, as US-listed XRP exchange-traded funds only began trading in 2025, the same year the Securities and Exchange Commission's long-running case against Ripple over XRP sales concluded, giving institutions a regulated alternative to holding the token directly.

While the filing will likely help build the institutional narrative around XRP, it must be noted that it is not in itself a bullish prediction. A 13F is only indicative of holdings during a specific period of time and does not reflect current positions — these reports are filed quarterly by US institutional managers overseeing more than $100 million in qualifying securities and can lag the quarter-end they cover by up to 45 days. Even so, Strive's exposure can be considered yet another signal for market watchers.

Despite the bullish price predictions and ETF growth, the XRP price is still moving in neutral territory. However, the general trend in the crypto market is improving, and a breakout could push XRP to new highs if conditions remain favorable.

What Comes Next for XRP?

The next move for the XRP price will be determined by whether buyers manage to hold support levels and regain strength. Failure may send XRP into a further retreat, whereas success could lead to consolidation. Increasing institutional demand for XRP ETFs might boost confidence, but an established change in trend is necessary before a rally becomes probable. For readers tracking the institutional angle, subsequent quarterly 13F filings and the flow data that ETF issuers publish daily will show whether positions of this kind are maintained, added to, or unwound.
