XRP News Today: XRP Price Targets $3.66 with Bulls Riding ETF Hopes

With the highly anticipated REX-Osprey XRP ETF (Proposed ticker: XRPR) releasing today, Ripple (XRP) witnessed a 40% increase in its 24-hour trading volume, and various price predictions suggest a target of $3.66 per XRP. It is already +3% up today, and the market cap has increased to $186 billion.

As the first XRP-based exchange-traded product, REX-Ofsprey ETF is structured as a Registered Investment Company (RIC) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which allows it to bypass the standard SEC 19b-4 filing process and expedite approval. Following the implementation of Generic ETF Listing Standards by the Securities and Exchange Commission, market observers expect more ETF approvals soon.

REX-Osprey XRP ETF, The First U.S.-Listed XRP Fund

The REX-Osprey XRP ETF, the first U.S.-based XRP fund, will commence its trading on Cboe BZX Exchange today, on September 18, 2025. The launch is considered a milestone for Ripple, providing a deserved acknowledgment after the long-running issues, such as the lawsuit with the SEC. 

The fund holds XRP directly as its primary asset and allocates at least 40% of its assets into shares of other exchange trade funds (ETFs) or ETPs tied to XRP, making it a unique exchange-traded product. To ensure liquidity, the fund invests in derivatives and Treasuries, and also uses a Cayman-based subsidiary for asset management. 

XRP Exhibits Strong Bullish Momentum Today, Aims $3.66

Historically, ETF approvals and launches tend to drive short-term price increases, and the entire market expects the same to happen with XRP. Also, the latest partnership with Chipper Cash, VALR, and Yellow Card to deploy RLUSD in Africa contributed to the ETF frenzy.

XRP broke above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement ($3.07) and holds above its 7-day SMA ($3.06). According to various expert traders, sustaining above $3.07 could trigger a sudden rush towards $3.66, supported by the RSI, which is at 57 (not yet overbought).

The technical analysis suggests a strong bullish breakout, supported by its trading above the 200-day simple moving average, and the fear and greed index aligning towards a neutral trend. More details are provided below.

• Fear & Greed Index: 52 (Neutral) 
• Market Sentiment: Bullish 
• Supply Inflation: 6.01% (High) 
• Dominance: 4.50%
• Volatility: 3.19% (Medium)
