The launch of REX Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) and NASDAQ-listed XRP ETF (XRPI) has propelled Ripple (XRP-USD) into a new phase of institutional adoption, marking a critical moment for the digital asset’s transition from speculative trading into regulated investment vehicles. XRPR rose 2.94% to $20.46, while XRPI jumped 3.06% to $14.78, reflecting accelerating inflows amid a surge in XRP’s spot price to $2.48 (+2.65%). Data from REX Shares confirmed that XRPR surpassed $100 million in assets under management, becoming the first XRP-linked ETF to reach that threshold. Both products now serve as gateways for traditional market participants seeking structured exposure to the XRP Ledger (XRPL) ecosystem.
The XRPR ETF, launched under the REX Shares framework, uses an unorthodox ’40 Act structure—operating as an investment company rather than a direct trust—to provide diversified exposure to Ripple’s network without directly holding XRP tokens. Despite its hybrid nature, XRPR has rapidly gained institutional traction, marking a pivotal step toward full-scale XRP adoption on Wall Street. With $100M AUM achieved less than a month after listing, the fund has positioned XRP as the next major crypto asset to enter mainstream ETF frameworks following Bitcoin and Ethereum.
The XRPR’s trading volume averaged 46,550 shares per day, with a day range of $20.45–$20.68 and a yearly trading range between $18.31 and $25.99, underscoring renewed investor confidence. Analysts suggest that the fund’s steady climb is fueled by expectations of further ETF approvals, which could unlock billions in institutional flows once the SEC’s current limited operations due to the government shutdown conclude.
The XRP ETF (XRPI), trading on NASDAQ, climbed 3.06% to $14.78, with a trading range of $14.67–$14.96, extending a three-day winning streak. Its average daily volume of 611,000 shares highlights growing participation from retail and institutional traders alike. XRPI’s diversified holdings, which include blockchain infrastructure, fintech equities, and XRP-related instruments, make it the complementary counterpart to XRPR’s broader market structure.
XRPI’s year range of $12.69–$23.53 indicates a strong recovery trajectory since early 2025, correlating with Ripple’s legal clarity and the wider crypto ETF boom that followed spot Ethereum approval earlier this year. The rebound aligns with XRP’s sustained strength above the $2.20–$2.30 support zone, signaling bullish accumulation among whales and institutions building positions ahead of the next regulatory unlock.
Ripple’s ecosystem continues to attract major fund managers and DeFi-linked investors, reinforcing its position as a foundational blockchain for cross-border payments and liquidity solutions. The XRP Ledger (XRPL) has registered a surge in daily transactions, averaging over 2.3 million per day, while on-chain liquidity pools have grown by 18% QoQ. Institutional appetite has been magnified by the combination of XRPR’s $100M AUM milestone and pending ETF applications from Franklin Templeton and other heavyweight issuers.
Market watchers note that once the SEC resumes full capacity, multiple “pure” XRP ETFs are likely to gain approval under the agency’s new generic listing standard, paving the way for significant capital inflows from traditional finance
Following the ETF momentum, XRP-USD is trading near $2.48, having rebounded 2.65% intraday and over 7% week-to-date. Price action remains constructive above the $2.27–$2.30 support, with the next major resistance level at $2.95–$3.00. Technical metrics show bullish strength — RSI near 61, MACD crossing positive, and futures open interest up 14% week-over-week — all aligning with sustained ETF-related accumulation.
The broader crypto market is supportive of XRP’s rise: Bitcoin (BTC) trades at $110,467 (-0.56%), Ethereum (ETH) at $3,902 (-0.09%), and BNB (BNB) at $1,107 (-1.77%), while XRP’s relative strength in outperforming peers signals capital rotation into newly legitimized ETF-backed assets.
Analysts leveraging AI-based market models, including ChatGPT projections cited in recent data, forecast XRP’s price could rise between $15 and $22 by 2026, representing potential 800% upside from current levels. The forecast assumes multiple ETFs will be approved in the coming year, pushing XRP’s market capitalization into the $900 billion–$1.3 trillion range.
Should the ETF pipeline materialize, XRPR and XRPI combined could exceed $3–$4 billion in AUM by 2026, rivaling the early growth trajectory of Ethereum spot ETFs. Ripple’s continuous expansion into real-world asset tokenization, CBDC partnerships, and on-chain liquidity services further supports the bullish macro case.
With XRPR at $20.46 (+2.94%), XRPI at $14.78 (+3.06%), and XRP-USD near $2.48, the convergence of ETF inflows, rising AUM, and institutional adoption sets a precedent for a sustained bull phase. The structural transformation from speculative crypto to regulated ETF-backed exposure is underway, and XRP is now positioned alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum as a mainstream digital asset class.
Verdict: STRONG BUY — As REX Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) surpasses $100M AUM and XRP ETF (XRPI) expands across NASDAQ, Ripple’s ecosystem enters its institutional breakout phase. Targets remain $3.00 near term and $15–$22 long term as ETF approvals accelerate and XRP adoption strengthens globally.

‘Appalling but unsurprising’: Maxine Waters calls out Trump’s pardon of convicted crypto money launderer  TheGrio

As stated by CNN
Chen Zhi, 37, known as a young magnate with a youthful face, has risen to the upper echelons of Cambodia’s power circles: he funds scholarships and leads philanthropic programs, while also running one of the country’s largest and most powerful companies.
According to American investigators, Chen Zhi runs one of the largest transnational criminal networks in Asia – an empire built on forced labor and cryptocurrency fraud, which previously brought him and his associates up to $30 million a day.
Money flowed toward acquiring Picasso works, private jets, and real estate in London’s upscale districts, as well as to bribing officials, according to New York prosecutors who last week announced the seizure of $15 billion worth of cryptocurrency linked to Chen as part of a multi-year investigation.
According to investigators, his empire serves as a front for more than 100 shell companies used to launder money across 12 countries and territories from Singapore to St. Kitts and Nevis.
Prince Group employs thousands of people and positions itself as one of Cambodia’s largest conglomerates: investing in luxury real estate, banking services, hotels, construction projects, a retail network, and even the watch industry.
Last week, the company was designated a transnational criminal organization, and Chen was indicted in New York on charges of money-laundering conspiracy and conspiracy to commit cryptocurrency fraud; as of now he is at large, and Cambodia has no extradition treaty with the United States.
Analysts estimate dozens of schemes operating in Cambodia involve thousands of people, and the country is becoming one of the centers of the global crypto-crime industry within the digital crime network.
According to GI-TOC experts, the investigation highlights the scale of the criminal web that ties together business, politics, and law enforcement across the region.
“It is truly remarkable in both scale and the amount seized, and in how effectively so many nodes of this criminal network were identified and targeted.”
Also noted are the erosion of civil society in Cambodia and the international community’s efforts to push back against criminal networks, notably through US and UK initiatives to tighten controls and hold those behind this fraud economy to account.
“Civil society in Cambodia has been crushed.”
“Now is not the time to slow down.”

Key points: 
ETF inflows and spot accumulation by retail and institutional investors highlight the belief that Bitcoin trades at a discount. 
Next week’s US macroeconomic calendar events should bring a resolution to a handful of fear catalysts that are suppressing prices across the crypto market. 
Bitcoin (BTC) traders spent a majority of the week in contention as sellers capped each price breakout at $112,000 and buyers stepped in to defend all dips to the $107,000 to $108,000 zone. 
Some analysts have expressed concern at BTC’s inability to hold prices above $112,000 and its frequent revisits to the range lows, but the range compression shown by the four-hr and daily higher lows and lower highs (candlestick chart below) could be a positive sign. 
Technical analysis traders frequently point out that “compression before expansion” is to be expected as volatility drops and prices consolidate after a major market move like the Oct. 10 sell-off, which saw BTC open interest drop by 50%. 

Underlying the day-to-day price action, there are some positive developments that suggest BTC will eventually make its way back into the $120,000 price zone. On Tuesday, the spot Bitcoin ETFs took in $477 million as BTC price traded to $114,000 from $107,500. 
Alongside these inflows, data shows spot buyers across order-size cohorts at Binance and Coinbase exchange stepping in to buy throughout the entire range from $101,500 (Binance) to the range high of this week (114,000). 

Currently, Glassnode’s Bitcoin Accumulation Trend Score metric also shows a score of 0.924 and the onchain data provider explained that a “trend score closer to 1 indicates that on aggregate, larger entities (or a big part of the network) are accumulating, and a value closer to 0 indicates they are distributing or not accumulating.” 

Multiple analysts agree that Bitcoin’s range consolidation could reach an end early next week, and that altcoins could begin to recover due to the US macroeconomic calendar being filled with a list of events. 
We have had capitulation, everyone thinks no alt-season. Let us remind everyone that:
1) QT will end
2) Gold is in distribution phase
3) Macro is stabilizing
4) China US polymarket odds for a deal above 60%
5) $7.4 Trillion in MMF that are about to rotate into market as fed… https://t.co/3BohO4ckPT

Pi Coin has slipped slightly again, down 1% in the past 24 hours, 4.9% over the past week, and nearly 26% this month. The token has been range-bound for days, showing little enthusiasm from traders.
Yet, big wallets haven’t completely walked away. Instead, they appear to be watching for a clearer signal — and that cue might come from the meme coin cycle. Surprised? Well, read on to know how the meme coin connection can impact the Pi Coin price.
Over the past month, Pi Coin’s price swings have started to mirror those of Dogecoin and Bonk. Its correlation coefficient now stands at 0.87 with DOGE and 0.94 with BONK, meaning it often moves the same way as these meme tokens.
The Pearson correlation coefficient measures how closely two assets move together, with values near 1 showing strong positive correlation.
Want more token insights like this? Sign up for Editor Harsh Notariya’s Daily Crypto Newsletter here.
This tight link points to one thing: PI is now heavily influenced by the broader meme coin sentiment. And the monthly Pi Coin price drawdown of 26% also validates this influence. The month-on-month dip falls between Dogecoin’s 20% and Bonk’s 30% drops.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) — which tracks momentum — on the daily chart is hinting at a possible rebound. Between September 23 and October 22, Pi’s price made lower lows, but RSI made higher lows, forming a bullish divergence.
That means momentum is improving even as price trends down. If meme coins recover, PI’s RSI setup could give it a push upward, supported by lingering interest from larger holders. More about them later in this piece.
And if the broader altcoin market begins reacting again, this correlation could play in Pi Coin’s favor, amplifying any rebound that follows the meme coin cycle.
If this bullish divergence unfolds, PI’s first major target sits near $0.21, just above its current Fibonacci 0.382 level ($0.19). A clean daily close over $0.29 would confirm a breakout and invalidate the bearish structure, potentially restoring short-term confidence.
Do note that on the daily timeframe, the PI’s price is trading against a descending trendline. That trendline, along with clear Fibonacci bases (marked in orange), marks the bearish structure (descending triangle to be exact).
The Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) — which measures how much money is entering or exiting the market — supports the same story. Despite falling prices, CMF has stayed positive since September 12, showing that big wallets haven’t fully exited.
Between August 29 and October 22, CMF formed higher lows, showing a bullish divergence similar to RSI and hinting that money inflow continues beneath the surface.
However, if $0.19 fails to hold, Pi could slip toward $0.18 (0.236 Fibonacci) or even $0.15, marking a 9%–20% downside and confirming renewed bearish momentum. However, with both RSI and CMF flashing bullish divergence, the odds of a relief rally increase if $0.19 holds.
