- XRP ETF optimism unlikely to spark a major price rally.
- Traders expect more upside from BTC, ETH, and SOL.
- Polymarket odds favor other top cryptos for new highs.
ETF Buzz May Not Lift XRP as Expected
Despite the growing conversation around XRP-related exchange-traded funds (ETFs), industry analysts are warning that XRP might not benefit from a major price surge. According to a recent piece by Cointelegraph Magazine, the sentiment around XRP is leaning more toward profit taking than accumulation.
Many XRP holders have been waiting for favorable regulatory outcomes and potential ETF approvals. But even with positive developments, XRP’s price behavior may not mirror that of Bitcoin or Ethereum post-ETF announcements. The market seems to view XRP as already priced in—meaning any news might trigger sell-offs from long-term holders rather than attracting new buyers.
Polymarket Traders Favor BTC, ETH, and SOL
In contrast, prediction market platform Polymarket shows strong confidence in other major cryptocurrencies. Traders are increasingly betting that Bitcoin ( BTC ), Ethereum ( ETH ), and Solana (SOL) will reach new all-time highs before the end of 2025.
This optimism is driven by a combination of factors including:
- Continued institutional interest in BTC and ETH
- Solana’s fast-growing ecosystem and use cases
- Broader anticipation of a full crypto market recovery
The market dynamics suggest that while XRP remains a top crypto by market cap, it lacks the bullish momentum seen in its peers right now.
What This Means for Traders
For investors and traders, the takeaway is clear: XRP may underperform compared to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana in the short to medium term. While ETFs could help with legitimacy and exposure, the real winners might be the coins that already have strong network activity and market demand.
As always, sentiment and speculation can shift quickly in crypto, but for now, XRP’s rally may be capped by cautious profit taking, not sky-high expectations.
