Based on reports, several asset managers have updated filings for spot XRP exchange-traded funds, naming tickers such as GXRP and XRPZ.
That regulatory activity is one of the items market watchers say is drawing attention back to XRP. At the same time, Ripple’s move to acquire GTreasury for $1 billion has been highlighted by some analysts as a step closer to the $120 trillion corporate treasury market.
Those developments, taken together, are keeping optimism alive among traders and community figures.
According to social posts and comment threads, the analyst known as 24hrscrypto1 told followers “something big is going on” and reiterated a previously stated $100 target for XRP, while suggesting the date might come sooner than the earlier claim of by 2030.
At current trading near $2.60, reaching $100 would represent roughly a 4,000% increase from today’s level. Other commentators have offered similar high-end ranges.
Something big is going on..
All I can say is, we will see a $100 XRP way before 2030
— 𝟸𝟺𝙷𝚁𝚂𝙲𝚁𝚈𝙿𝚃𝙾 (@24hrscrypto1) October 17, 2025
For example, CryptoCharged COO Matthew Brienen has described a $100–$1,000 band as “highly possible” inside a five to 10 year span, citing use cases in cross-border payments.
Wealth mentor Linda Jones has used a personal example to make a point: a $100 investment once bought about 400 XRP at $0.25 each, but that same $100 today would buy fewer than 35 XRP, a detail some see as evidence of growing scarcity.
Some observers argue that steady buying by banks and funds has been taking place behind the scenes during volatile stretches. If large holders continue to add positions and trading liquidity thins, the market could face a supply-demand imbalance that would push prices higher quickly.
That is the basic line supporting ultra-ambitious forecasts. Yet whether institutions will hold XRP long term or use it actively in payments remains a crucial unknown that would determine how the story actually plays out.
Market Moves And Community MomentumSocial voices continue to matter. A prominent community commentator using the name UnknowDLT has described XRP as one of the major opportunities for this generation and the next, language that keeps retail interest high.
XRP will end up being one of the greatest opportunities of not only our life time, but many to come.
— {x} (@unknowDLT) October 28, 2025
At the same time, volatility is real: earlier this month XRP dropped to roughly $1.20 during a broader market pullback, showing how fast gains can be wiped out when conditions change.
Reports note that approval of spot XRP ETFs may depend on regulatory timing and procedural steps at the US securities regulator.
Community watchers point to the resumption of SEC actions as a likely trigger for formal approvals, but that is not guaranteed.
The filings from Grayscale, Bitwise, and Franklin Templeton have been updated, yet market access will only expand once regulators sign off.

This article was first published on The Bit Journal. Ethereum Surge sees the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency rapidly outpacing Bitcoin (BTC), as institutional investors increasingly shift their focus toward the leading smart contract platform dominating the digital asset landscape.
The institutional fund holdings in Ethereum have increased by an astounding 138% over the last year, making nearly four times the rate of growth of Bitcoin, indicating a significant change in market sentiment, and driving a great Ethereum surge in the global markets.
Once seen as merely an “alternative play” to Bitcoin, Ethereum is now stepping confidently out of Bitcoin’s shadow. Recent fund data shows that Ethereum holdings have soared to approximately 6.8 million Ethereum, which is mostly due to spot ETF inflows, enticing staking yields, and the increasing dominance of Ethereum throughout DeFi and asset tokenization.
Such institutional interest has brought additional momentum to the current Ethereum surge which has made it a dominant figure in the next crypto cycle.
Conversely, Bitcoin still maintains its conventional purpose of a reserve asset of institutions, as there is a consistent though modest increase of 36% in the number of funds held of 1.3 million BTC.
As the number of institutional funds entering Bitcoin grows, it is slower than all other indices and may signify a slowdown in momentum, but Ethereum’s explosion signifies that investors are more willing to embrace growth and innovation.
Ethereum is not however the only altcoin that is gaining institutional momentum. The market first indications suggest that the long awaited altcoin rotation is possible to be already in action.
As Joao Wedson, the CEO of Alphractal, argues, the existing configuration is very similar to past crypto market cycles, where Bitcoin gains predominance only to see a dramatic shift in capitals to altcoins, usually due to a round of Ethereum surge and a fresh wave of market enthusiasm.
Altcoins Season Index shows the strongest momentum for BTC!
However, I see it as strategic to start accumulating altcoins now, anticipating the upcoming rotation from BTC to Altcoins.
Focus mainly on newer altcoins — history keeps repeating itself!Charts: @Alphractal pic.twitter.com/kE5Ve8PFVd
— Joao Wedson (@joao_wedson) October 27, 2025
Wedson pointed out that only four of the 55 trailed altcoins have shown more performance in the last 60 days than Bitcoin. However, such a narrow performance is typically followed by a wide-ranging recovery in risk appetite a traditional indication of early accumulation.
This period of accumulation, analysts believe, is the point where newer altcoins quietly bottom, creating the next step of the rotation. Some of the tokens like Synthetix (SNX) and Binance Coin (BNB) have already started recording an increase in relative returns, which indicated that early-cycle measures are strengthening, in part with the broader Ethereum surge throughout institutional portfolios.
This trend is also supported by historical data. A long-term comparative chart of the altcoins versus Bitcoin reveals that altcoin booms have traditionally followed Bitcoin booms, in both the 2017 and 2021 cycles.
This keeps me awake at night
If this trend line extends into 2025/6 we should see the biggest alt season of all time
While some believe altcoins will never compete with Bitcoin again

Ranging into 2025, technical charts are once again showing a multi-year wedge breakout in various altcoins a pattern that has heretofore occurred before massive rallies. Should this trend continue to be true, the next market turn may already be shaping up, and the Ethereum surge may be at the forefront and reestablishing the balance of power in the worldwide crypto market.
As 2025 approaches, Ethereum’s dominance and the growing institutional shift toward altcoins signal a transformative phase for the crypto market. If historical patterns hold true, Ethereum could spearhead the next major rotation, setting the stage for a broader altcoin rally and redefining the digital asset landscape worldwide.

Following the recent launch of multiple crypto ETFs, Bitwise Asset Manager’s CIO has forecasted a bright future for the firm’s Solana Staking Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), as investors show strong initial interest in the investment product.
On Tuesday, Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan predicted that the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF (BSOL) could attract significant institutional interest and become one of the leading investment products based on digital assets.
Hougan argued that Solana is “one of the most exciting crypto investment opportunities that exists today,” as it records “the most revenue of any blockchain.” He explained that institutional investors “love” both ETFs and revenue, which suggests that these investors will “love Solana ETFs.”
Bitwise’s CIO previously pointed out that there must be fundamental reasons for investors’ interest in investment vehicles such as ETFs and Digital Asset Treasuries (DATs), signaling that Solana has them. Therefore, he has “a feeling the Bitwise Solana Staking ETF, BSOL, is gonna be huge.”
Ahead of the launch, ETF Expert Eric Balchunas predicted that the first day volume for Bitwise’s Solana ETF could surpass the $50 million mark. Notably, the firm’s spot Bitcoin ETF (BITB) and spot Ethereum ETH (ETHW) recorded $237.9 million and $204 million on their first day, respectively.
Hougan has highlighted that Solana’s market capitalization is 1/20th the size of BTC and less than 1/4th the size of ETH. Based on this, the volume for an SOL ETF is expected to be smaller than that of ETFs based on the two leading crypto assets.
According to data shared by Balchunas, BSOL recorded an impressive volume of $10 million in the first 30 minutes of trading, hinting at initial demand. This amount surged to approximately $33 million by the half-day mark and hit $56 million by the end of its first trading day.
According to the analyst, BSOL had a strong start, noting that its “$56m is the MOST of any launch this year.. More than XRPR, SSK, Ives and BMNU.”
BSOL was among the crypto ETFs launched on October 28 despite the US government shutdown. As reported by NewsBTC, Bitwise, for its Solana Staking ETF, and Canary Capital, for its spot Litecoin (LTC) and Hedera (HBAR) ETFs, filed 8-A forms on Monday to launch the investment products this week despite the government shutdown.
Notably, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) was set to approve over a dozen altcoin ETFs between October and November after delaying the decision deadline and releasing new generic listing standards for the products.
However, investors expected that the long-awaited green light would be delayed until the end of the government shutdown. Journalist Eleanor Terret explained that the launch was possible because an open government isn’t required and the 8-A filings are “just as important” as the S-1 forms, as they formally register ETF shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
As a result, after the NYSE certified all the filings for the ETFs, they could start trading on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Grayscale’s Solana Trust (GSOL) will convert into an ETF on Wednesday.
A recent debate on the social media platform X has drawn attention to XRP’s long-term price outlook after an XRP enthusiast, Crypto Bitlord, proposed a rather wild scenario where the cryptocurrency teleports to $500 instantly. His post, which imagined XRP being used by the US government to pay off its $35 trillion debt, caused some reactions across the XRP community.
In response, well-known crypto analyst ChartNerd stepped in to temper expectations, explaining that while XRP’s future is bright, such a leap to $500 is far from realistic this market cycle.
ChartNerd’s comments immediately stood out for their grounded tone, especially amongst reactions filled with predictions of explosive, instant gains. Responding directly to Bitlord’s vision of XRP rocketing to $500, ChartNerd clarified that XRP’s price will not trade at that price target this cycle. “$XRP will not teleport to $500,” he said.
Instead of a three-digit price, the analyst noted that the XRP price can only realistically reach the double-digit threshold in this cycle. “Realistically, it could definitely teleport to $13-$27 this cycle,” he continued.
This double-digit price target, although very bullish compared to XRP’s current price action, pales in comparison to other bullish projections from other crypto analysts, with many anticipating triple-digit price targets and others even predicting a run to $1,000 and beyond.
As conversations around potential XRP ETFs continue to gain momentum, one commenter asked ChartNerd whether his projections accounted for the billions in possible ETF inflows and the tokens expected to be locked in treasury funds and liquidity pools over the next few months.
His response showed that his analysis was not detached from these developments. ChartNerd explained that even if XRP captured half of Bitcoin’s ETF trading volume from the past two years, the result would still translate to a market capitalization of roughly $1.2 trillion, bringing the price closer to his $27 upper target rather than $500.
Most ultra-bullish XRP price predictions are contingent on the cryptocurrency gaining adoption among banks and players in traditional finance. However, adoption models grow over years, not weeks, with ChartNerd adding that “these developments take time, and triple digits are not possible until many a year down the line.”
Another user remarked that Bitcoin once faced similar disbelief before breaching $100,000, meaning that XRP could surprise skeptics in the same way. ChartNerd, however, maintained his cautious stance with the response, “Highly unlikely imo, we shall see. I’ll stick to double digits.”
Such comparisons overlook the fundamental differences between Bitcoin’s and XRP’s market dynamics, especially when it comes to their circulating supplies.
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $2.66, a 1% increase in the past 24 hours and a 9.2% rise over the last seven days. To reach the hypothetical $500 level, XRP would need to surge by roughly 18,690% from its current price. By contrast, hitting $13 or $27 would represent gains of approximately 388% and 915%, respectively.
Digital assets performed well on Tuesday as Bitcoin reclaimed $117,000.
The broader sector has turned bullish amid optimistic updates and tomorrow’s Fed decision on interest rates.
In a groundbreaking move that has stirred the altcoin space, US regulators have reportedly approved exchange-traded funds linked to Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera.
This marks a crucial moment for the digital assets industry, with diversified ETF offerings beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Enthusiasts can now access Bitwise Solana, Canary HBAR, and Canary Litecoin exchange-traded funds on the New York Stock Exchange.
The decision follows the new policies that allow issuers to evade the lengthy review procedures by the SEC.
The new financial products are experiencing significant investor appetite.
According to ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, the Bitwise SOL staking ETF saw its trading volume hit $10 million within the first 30 minutes.
It has eclipsed Hedera and Litecoin at $4 million and $400k, respectively.
Here's numbers fter 30min$BSOL: $10m$HBR: $4m$LTCC: $400k
— Eric Balchunas (@EricBalchunas) October 28, 2025
Meanwhile, the approval will boost investor exposure in SOL, LTC, and HBAR through regulated channels.
That eliminates the complexity of navigating wallets and finding legitimate brokers.
The new funds have already debuted on leading United States exchanges as the gap between DeFi and TradFi blurs.
The latest approvals increase alternatives for investors.
Until recently, institutional players remained restricted to Bitcoin and Ethereum-related financial products.
Now, the landscape has transformed dramatically.
Solana, known for speed and its vibrant DeFi, meme token, and NFT ecosystem, has been among the hottest blockchains in the past few months.
With SOL ETFs live, the project can anticipate remarkable liquidity and market stability.
Such fundamentals can help Solana cement its status as a serious “Ethereum Killer.” SOL is trading at $199 after gaining more than 3% the past week.
The OG Litecoin has remained relevant through the years due to its constant network uptime and strong fundamentals.
An LTC ETF approval confirms that regulators still perceive Litecoin as a time-tested token that can serve conservative investors navigating cryptocurrencies.
LTC is trading at $98, bracing for impressive upside breakouts.
Finally, Hedera’s exchange-traded fund offers an opportunity for individuals exploring the blockchain role in tokenized assets, sustainability, and business solutions.
HBAR gas soared over 10% the previous day to $0.2018.
Donald Trump’s meme token led the gainers today. TRUMP gained more than 14% the past 24 hours to $7.11.
Trump Media’s deal with Crypto.com to launch Truth Predict is fueling TRUMP’s surges.
NEW: 🇺🇸🎥 President Trump’s Truth Social has partnered with #Crypto.com to launch “Truth Predict.”
The new feature will make Truth Social the world’s first social media platform to offer federally compliant prediction markets on politics, economics, and sports. pic.twitter.com/7GUWns4AvB
— Bitcoin.com News (@BTCTN) October 28, 2025
Under the agreement, Truth Social will channel event contracts through CDNA, a CFTC-registered exchange and clearinghouse.
The partnership provides the platform with a federally compliant framework to offer prediction markets tied to elections, economic data, commodity prices, sports results, and other real-world events.
Trump Media is promoting the initiative as the first instance of a publicly traded social media company integrating prediction markets directly into its platform.
The new feature will display real-time market pricing, allowing users to respond to live developments.
Social elements will be integrated alongside trading functions, enabling users to discuss positions, share forecasts, and trade simultaneously.
User engagement will be directly linked to trading activity — participants who earn “Truth gems” through interactions can convert them into CRO digital tokens, which can then be used to purchase event contracts.

XRP closed October with a mixed tape, yet the setup for November looks constructive. A repeatable price pattern, a genuine supply squeeze on exchanges, and a new institutional treasury building a billion dollar position all point to one thing: higher probability of topside tests.
A recent analysis mapped a close above 2.77 as the trigger that can open Fibonacci targets in the 2.75 to 3.00 area, with stretch room if momentum accelerates.
For search clarity and reader intent, the XRP price November discussion starts with levels. The first inflection is 2.77 on a daily close. Hold above that pivot and the classic 0.5 to 0.618 retracement zone lines up around 2.75 to 3.00, where sellers usually test the bid.
If liquidity thins and momentum runs hot, prior impulses have reached into the low 3s, which keeps 3.20 to 3.40 alive as a secondary path. The baseline case is more modest, but still positive, because the structure respects higher lows and a tightening range into that 2.77 gate.
The XRP price November story is not only technical. On chain flows set the tone. Data aggregators tracked one of the largest two day exchange outflow events on record around Oct. 19 to Oct. 20, with more than 2.6 billion XRP leaving centralized venues. Heavy withdrawals reduce near term sell supply and often precede relief rallies when bids reappear. The signal is not perfect, but combined with price holding support, it tilts odds toward upside follow-through.
New corporate demand shapes the XRP price November narrative as well. A Ripple-affiliated venture called Evernorth plans to become the largest publicly traded XRP treasury via a listing that aims to raise more than 1 billion dollars for accumulation.
The rationale is simple to understand and hard to ignore. A permanent buyer with a mandate to add on weakness can smooth drawdowns and intensify rallies. Reuters reported that the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2026, with strategic backers across crypto finance.
The team has been vocal in public.
“I am proud to share that we have launched Evernorth, a first of its kind institutional vehicle built to accelerate XRP adoption,” said CEO Asheesh Birla in a post on X, linking to the treasury’s introduction video. In a later update he added, “We are combining institutional discipline with on chain innovation to grow XRP per share and redefine what a digital asset treasury can be.”
Both messages underline a long horizon and an intent to keep accumulating.
Crypto market strategists have weighed in on flows across assets. “Inflows into altcoins seem to be confined to SOL and XRP at present,” wrote a leading European research head in a public thread, echoing a broader rotation into higher liquidity names while smaller tokens lag. Stronger breadth in these flows would further support the XRP price November case, but concentration in the leaders often comes first.
Good price calls do not rely on one data point. The XRP price November framework tracks several inputs. Exchange reserves trended lower into late October, consistent with those outflows. If reserves keep falling while open interest rises at a measured pace, price can pop on relatively small buy programs. If open interest spikes too quickly, unwinds can wash out gains.
Funding remains the real-time compass. Modest positive funding with rising spot volume is healthy. Aggressive positive funding without spot confirmation often precedes a shakeout. For short-term traders, derivative heat maps show a pocket of resting short-side liquidity just below the first resistance cluster, which can create a fast move if price rips through overhead levels.
Macro still matters. Digital asset products drew hefty weekly inflows in late October, a sign that investors continue to add exposure even after sharp swings. A sustained bid across the complex would support the XRP price November roadmap, especially if the pace of inflows persists as policy clarity improves. If flows stall, risk assets can slip back into chop.
Map three paths. In the base case, the XRP price November move respects the 2.77 trigger, grinds into 2.90 to 3.00, and consolidates while funding stays contained. In the bullish case, spot demand from treasuries and advisors aligns with falling exchange supply, extending the push toward 3.20 and possibly 3.40 if breadth improves.
In the risk case, a failed breakout below 2.77 meets a burst of positive funding and crowded longs, knocking price back toward the mid 2s. None of these paths require perfection. They require discipline about levels and respect for the data in front of the market.
Public voices will continue to influence tone. One high-profile trader on X said, “New all-time highs in November,” summarizing the current optimism in a single line. Whether that proves prescient or just enthusiastic color matters less than the sequence of daily closes and the behavior of flows. Long term holders look at the broader adoption arc and the entry of corporate treasuries. Short-term traders watch the gate at 2.77. Either way, the XRP price November discussion is now in the driver’s seat.
The market likes simple stories. The XRP price November story blends a familiar breakout pattern with tangible supply dynamics and a new corporate accumulator. It will not be a straight climb. It rarely is. But if price clears 2.77 and the outflows persist while institutional demand scales, higher prints are reasonable. If those conditions fade, the trade becomes range bound again. Clarity lives in the data. The next daily closes will tell the tale.
What is the key level to confirm momentum in November?
Analysts watch a daily close above 2.77 to validate upside targets in the 2.75 to 3.00 band derived from the 0.5 to 0.618 retracement.
Why do exchange outflows matter for price?
Large withdrawals reduce immediate sell supply. The Oct. 19 to Oct. 20 window saw more than 2.6 billion XRP leave exchanges, which historically improves the odds of relief rallies.
How does Evernorth influence market structure?
A dedicated treasury with a mandate to accumulate creates steady bid support. The initiative targets more than 1 billion dollars for XRP purchases as it prepares a public listing.
Are fund flows supportive into November?
Yes, late October showed sizeable inflows into digital asset products, which helps overall risk appetite if sustained.
Exchange reserve depletion
A trend where coins move from exchanges to self custody or treasuries, shrinking near term sell pressure and often tightening available liquidity for spot buyers.
Fibonacci retracement zone
A technical range, commonly the 0.5 to 0.618 band of a prior move, used to estimate probable resistance and profit taking zones after a rebound. In this case it aligns with 2.75 to 3.00.
Institutional crypto treasury
A publicly traded or regulated vehicle that accumulates a specific digital asset as a balance sheet holding, potentially buying on weakness and influencing market microstructure over time.
Derivative liquidation pocket
A cluster on heat maps where forced buy or sell orders may trigger if price touches certain levels, often accelerating moves and creating slippage in thin conditions.

The Altcoins ETFs is set to launch this Tuesday, marking a significant moment in crypto investing. According to the source, U.S. exchanges have posted listing notices for spot funds tied to these three tokens.
This move allows everyday investors to gain exposure to Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera without owning the coins directly, opening a new access point in regulated finance.
Exchanges such as the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ Stock Market have posted official listing notices for the Altcoins ETFs suite. Specifically:
Current prices at time of writing: Solana (SOL) ~ $199.64, Litecoin (LTC) ~ $100.55, Hedera (HBAR) ~ $0.21. These values reflect the market’s anticipation of the debut of the Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETF.
The Altcoins ETFs may provide several benefits:
Beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum, these altcoin-linked ETFs widen the field. The Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETF positions altcoins in a regulated vehicle format for the first time in the U.S..
The regulatory path for the Altcoins ETFs aligns with evolving U.S. rules. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has dropped delay notices and adopted generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs, which helped clear the way for this launch. Lower procedural hurdles contribute to the Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETF coming into view.
Still, risks remain: trading volumes are unknown, token volatility persists, and early investors will observe how the funds perform once trading begins.
With the Altcoins ETFs about to trade, key indicators include:
The Altcoins ETFs represents a bridge between traditional finance and altcoins. Investors can now access SOL, LTC, and HBAR via regulated channels rather than buying tokens directly. Provided launch conditions hold, these funds could open the door for further crypto ETF innovations.
As trading starts, the performance of the Solana, Litecoin, and Hedera ETF will test how far the market can move beyond Bitcoin.
It is a set of ETFs offering exposure to Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR) via regulated U.S. exchange-traded products.
The listing notices indicate trading will start this week, as early as Tuesday.
It opens regulated access to altcoins beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum through the crypto ETF format.
Yes, the Solana component is expected to include staking features within the ETF structure.

U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs recorded roughly 446 million dollars in net inflows for the week, reversing the prior soft patch and hinting that institutions still buy the dips. Over the same stretch, spot Ether products saw about 244 million dollars in outflows, a notable contrast that kept the market honest after a frantic first half of October.
Daily prints show how quickly sentiment can turn. After four straight sessions of redemptions, Bitcoin funds swung to a single-day net inflow near 477 million dollars as prices steadied, a flip that broke the losing streak and re-anchored flows.
The split is not just about winners and laggards. Bitcoin’s rebound suggests allocators continue to treat it as the cleanest expression of crypto beta, especially when macro is noisy and liquidity is patchy. Ether’s outflows, meanwhile, reflect a different set of questions that investors still need answered, from staking mechanics inside fund structures to the timing and scope of future product features. The weekly etf total underscores that rotation within crypto is active rather than passive right now.
Context helps. Earlier in October, a monster print north of one billion dollars flowed into Bitcoin ETFs in a single session as price tagged fresh highs, a reminder that headline inflows often cluster near emotionally charged levels. That history makes last week’s steadier, mid-range rebound feel more durable, not less.
Flows do not move in a straight line. The week’s split sits against a backdrop of macro cross-currents, including intermittent risk-off wobbles and questions about policy data timeliness. Short squeezes and funding resets can add noise. Even so, the path of least resistance remains tied to whether Bitcoin ETFs keep printing green on more days than not, especially if breadth widens beyond a handful of big issuers. Recent records around 125,000 were pinned on ETF demand, so subsequent rallies will likely need the same sponsorship.
Ether’s challenge is more nuanced. Capital wants clarity on product design and the roadmap for yield features. Until those mechanics are settled, Ether funds may trade more like satellite positions in multi-asset portfolios, making them sensitive to weekly rebalancing. That does not preclude sharp risk-on weeks. It simply means the hurdle for sticky inflows is higher.
The week delivered a clean message. Bitcoin ETFs attracted fresh capital while Ether funds leaked. The daily swing back to inflows suggests the buyer is still there, even if conviction arrives in bursts. If the next few prints confirm breadth across issuers and steadier intake, price can follow. If not, expect more chop around well-watched levels while investors wait for the next catalyst.
What exactly changed last week in ETF flows?
Bitcoin ETFs added about 446 million dollars for the week that ended 24 October, while Ether funds lost about 244 million dollars, marking a clear divergence between the two largest crypto assets.
Did one big day drive the Bitcoin number?
A single day near 21 October saw roughly 477 million dollars in net inflows, which helped flip the weekly tally back to positive after a red streak.
Are large daily inflows reliable signals for price?
Huge prints can coincide with local peaks, as seen earlier in October, so traders often look for persistence across multiple sessions rather than one-off spikes.
What are analysts saying publicly?
Nate Geraci highlighted multi-billion weekly intake for spot Bitcoin ETFs. Other analysts pointed to advisors dominating known Ether ETF holders, which can magnify tactical shifts.
Exchange-traded fund (ETF)
A regulated fund that tracks an asset and trades on stock exchanges, allowing investors to gain exposure without holding the underlying coins.
Net inflows and outflows
The difference between new money entering a fund and money leaving it over a set period. Positive net inflows imply demand, while outflows imply the opposite.
Advisor-dominated holder base
A fund ownership profile where registered investment advisors represent a large share of known holders, which can increase sensitivity to model-driven rebalancing.
Product breadth across issuers
A sign of healthier demand where multiple funds, not just one or two, attract consistent inflows, reducing reliance on a single vehicle for price support.

TL;DR
HBAR, the native coin of the Hedera blockchain, is the best performer among the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market cap. It added 16% to its value in the last 24 hours, allowing it to cross the $0.20 mark.
The rally comes as the Canary HBAR ETF is set to commence trading on the New York Stock Exchange today. According to Bloomberg’s senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas, several altcoin-focused crypto ETFs are set to begin trading, including the HBAR Fund by Canary.
The new ETFs will allow institutions to gain more exposure to the cryptocurrency market, with most of them trading Bitcoin and Ethereum-focused funds since the start of the year.
The listing comes as a surprise due to the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, with the Securities and Exchange Commission only retaining a few essential staff during this period.
However, HBAR’s price could rally higher in the near term thanks to this latest development.
The HBAR/USD 4-hour chart is bullish and efficient thanks to the ongoing rally, with the technical indicators suggesting a further upward rally. The MACD lines are within the positive territory, suggesting a bullish bias.
Furthermore, the RSI of 80 means that HBAR is close to entering the overbought region. If the bullish trend continues, HBAR could rally towards the next resistance level at $0.23400 over the coming hours. An extended rally would allow the coin to touch the $0.26 mark for the first time since August 22.
However, if the market undergoes a correction following this rally, HBAR could drop to the $0.18 level to cover the FVG left by the massive push. The low of $0.16 will provide support in the near to medium term to allow the coin to surge higher.

The long-awaited Solana ETFs have finally been approved, sparking renewed optimism across the crypto market.
The ETFs’ approval has reignited bullish momentum, with analysts believing that the Solana price could soon rally toward $230 and beyond.
Bitwise and Canary Capital have confirmed that their individual Solana ETFs officially begin trading on October 28 after weeks of regulatory uncertainty.
Bitwise’s product, launched under the ticker BSOL, serves as a gateway for institutional exposure to Solana, featuring staking powered by Helius Labs and a temporary management fee waiver.

Grayscale has also moved swiftly, converting its Solana Trust (GSOL) into an ETF holding over $105 million worth of SOL.
Meanwhile, VanEck has also filed its sixth S-1/A amendment, with its Solana ETF status officially changed to “effective” and a 0.3% management fee established.
Adding to the growing momentum, Hong Kong’s first Solana ETF also began trading on Monday, marking Asia’s initial entry into the Solana ETF landscape.
Despite this wave of institutional activity, retail demand for Solana remains subdued.
Futures open interest sits near $9.75 billion — up slightly from the previous day but still below the $10 billion mark — indicating that traders are cautious amid market volatility.
Even so, analysts believe the ETF launches signal a critical turning point for Solana, reinforcing its legitimacy as an institutional-grade digital asset and providing the foundation for its steady hold above $200.
While retail demand for Solana remains unresponsive, the Solana price has been climbing steadily from $190 to $205, with short positions fading quickly.
Analysts note that bearish volume profiles are weakening while liquidity accumulates at higher price levels.
This shift has tilted momentum firmly in favour of buyers, with several technical indicators confirming the strength of the ongoing rally.
On the 4-hour chart, Solana trades above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, reinforcing the bullish setup.
The Ichimoku Cloud analysis shows a clear breakout, with price holding above key support between $197 and $201 — a signal that often precedes extended upward moves.
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) also hovers near 62, leaving room for additional gains before overbought conditions emerge.
Analysts now eye resistance zones between $204 and $208, followed by key hurdles at $216, $227, and $230.
Notably, a confirmed close above $205 could trigger a sustained rally toward these upper levels.
If momentum continues, higher targets around $237 and $253 come into view, aligning with Fibonacci retracement levels that mark previous swing highs.
Market observers have compared the current structure of Solana’s price chart to its 2023 breakout phase.
Analysts such as GalaxyBTC point to an ascending triangle pattern forming on the weekly chart, defined by a series of higher lows that indicate strong accumulation.

The critical support at $188 remains intact, representing the network’s largest volume cluster where many long-term holders entered the market.
A successful breakout above $200 would confirm the pattern and potentially lead to a test of $215 and $225, echoing the bullish behaviour seen two years ago.
The broader macro picture also appears supportive.
Some traders suggest that if the US Federal Reserve signals an end to quantitative tightening, it could inject much-needed liquidity into the market — providing another tailwind for Solana’s next leg higher.
Even as short-term traders monitor resistance near $230, long-term analysts remain optimistic about Solana’s broader trajectory.
The asset has maintained a pattern of higher lows since early 2023, and its market structure mirrors the accumulation phase that preceded its previous bull run.
Projections place potential mid- to long-term targets around $300, $390, and even $520 if momentum and institutional demand persist.
In the near term, maintaining support between $198 and $200 is crucial.
If buyers continue to defend this zone, the Solana price could strengthen further, confirming its leadership among major altcoins.
As the first wave of Solana ETFs begins trading, the market’s sentiment has clearly shifted — bears are losing ground, and bulls now have their eyes fixed firmly on the $230 milestone.

Multiple crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are set to launch this week despite the government shutdown, with investment products based on Solana (SOL), Litecoin (LTC), and Hedera (HBAR) seemingly ready to start trading as soon as Tuesday.
On Sunday night, Nate Geraci affirmed that the next two weeks will be key for the long-awaited spot crypto-based ETFs as Solana, XRP, LTC, and other ETF filings are “all lined up & ready for launch.”
Similarly, Bitwise CEO, Hunter Horsley, hinted that this week would be a “Big week,” suggesting progress related to its Solana Staking ETF. It’s worth noting that the crypto community has been awaiting the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)’s approval of the investment products following the numerous ETF applications filed over the past few months.
Between August and September, the regulatory agency postponed the decision deadline of most applications by two months, pushing back the key dates to mid-October and mid-November. However, the government’s shutdown, which started on October 1, reduced the odds of the products receiving a green line during the expected timeline.
On Monday morning, ETF expert Erich Balchunas reported that multiple issuers were looking to launch their crypto-based ETFs this week, despite the government shutdown. According to the Bloomberg analyst, Canary Capital had filed 8-A forms for its spot Litecoin and Hedera ETFs, while Bitwise had filed one for its Solana Staking ETF.
“These are the ones rumored to be poss looking to launch (along w Grayscale solana) this week despite shutdown. Not a done deal but clearly preparations being made. Stay tuned,” Balchunas stated.
Later, Balchunas confirmed the reports that the exchange had posted listing notices for Bitwise’s Solana Staking ETF, and Canary’s LTC and HBAR ETFs to launch on October 28, while Grayscale’s Solana trust is set to convert on Wednesday. “Assuming there’s not some last min SEC intervention, looks like this is happening,” the analyst added.
Crypto Journalist Eleanor Terret also shared the news, citing Canary’s CEO, Steven McClurg, who confirmed that the Canary spot HBAR and LTC ETFs will begin trading on Nasdaq on Tuesday.
“Litecoin and Hedera are the next two token ETFs to go effective after Ethereum,” McClurg told the journalist in a statement. “We look forward to launching tomorrow.”
Terret explained that despite the government shutdown, the launch is possible because “the operation of law does not always actually require an open government.”
According to the post, the 8-A forms are “just as important” as the S-1s filings: the former formally registers ETF shares under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, while the latter registers the investment products under the Securities Exchange Act of 1933.
After NYSE certified all the 8-A filings for the ETFs above on Monday, shares can start trading, Terret affirmed, adding:
“Here’s the key: The issuers included language in their amended S-1s that lets them automatically go effective 20 days after filing. Typically, issuers delay S-1s until the SEC takes them effective, but the legal default is that the S-1 goes automatically effective without SEC intervention. That means the agency doesn’t need to approve them manually and the filings can go live on their own, even during the shutdown. So, long story short, all the legal boxes are checked and these ETFs are on track for launch.”
The post HBAR ETF Goes Live on Nasdaq During U.S Government Shutdown appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The Hedera (HBAR) community is celebrating a major milestone as the network’s first U.S. exchange-traded fund (ETF) is set to start trading on Nasdaq this Tuesday, October 28, 2025.
The Canary Capital HBAR ETF, trading under the ticker HBR, will give investors direct spot exposure to HBAR, making it easier for institutions and advisors to invest in the network without managing crypto wallets.
Crypto Analyst Mark Chadwickx confirmed the listing, calling it a major step for institutional access to HBAR through Nasdaq. Many saw this as a huge credibility boost for the network.
Canary Capital CEO Steven McClurg confirmed the ETF launch after the company completed all required filings, using the SEC’s shutdown playbook, which allows new ETFs to go live 20 days after filing, even when regulators are short-staffed.
The new HBAR ETF will hold actual HBAR tokens in custody with BitGo and Coinbase Custody, while CoinDesk Indices will provide official price tracking.
Alongside the HBAR product, Canary is also rolling out a Litecoin (LTC) ETF, both debuting in what’s turning out to be a busy week for new crypto fund listings in the U.S.
The Hedera ETF launch stirred quite a buzz on social media. X users praised Hedera’s quiet strength, noting that while Bitcoin and Ethereum dominate headlines, Hedera has been steadily handling over 10,000 transactions per second for giants like IBM and Google. They described the ETF launch as “institutional stealth mode activated,” hinting at growing big-money interest behind the scenes.
However, not everyone was convinced. Another User, LuckyToken7777, cautioned that listing and full SEC approval are different matters, warning traders to be careful of potential hype-driven price moves.
However, the launch timing isn’t random. In mid-September, the SEC approved new listing standards that make it easier for exchanges to list spot commodity ETFs like HBAR, Solana, and Litecoin. These new standards cut down the long review times that previously delayed crypto ETF launches.
Despite the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, Elenor Terrett explained that these ETFs can still go live because the 8-A filings, which register ETF shares for trading, have been certified, and the S-1 filings include language allowing them to take effect automatically after 20 days without SEC intervention.
Having said that, this rule change has opened the door for multiple ETF debuts, including Bitwise’s Solana ETF on the NYSE and Canary’s listings on Nasdaq, all happening within days.
For Hedera, this marks a major turning point. The ETF not only increases market visibility but also gives traditional investors access to HBAR through regulated brokerage accounts, a big leap for a blockchain known for its enterprise and institutional partnerships with companies like IBM and Google.

The Canary Capital HBAR ETF (ticker: HBR) is a new investment fund on Nasdaq that holds actual Hedera tokens, giving investors direct spot exposure to HBAR without needing to manage a crypto wallet.
You can invest in the HBAR ETF (HBR) through any standard brokerage account that offers access to Nasdaq, just like you would trade any other stock or exchange-traded fund, starting October 28, 2025.
The ticker symbol for the new spot Hedera ETF on the Nasdaq exchange is HBR. This is the symbol you will use to find and trade the fund in your brokerage account.
After months of growing uncertainty and anticipation, the debut of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for Hedera (HBAR) and Litecoin (LTC) is set to commence tomorrow, as confirmed by Canary Capital’s CEO Steven McClurg on Monday.
Crypto reporter Eleanor Terret shared the news on X (formerly Twitter), revealing that the ETF launches for Litecoin and Hedera are imminent, with a statement from McClurg underscoring the excitement for the upcoming launch.
Notably, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) has also made significant moves in the ETF sector by certifying 8-A filings and issuing listing notices for Bitwise Invest’s spot Solana (SOL) ETF launch tomorrow and Grayscale’s GSOL conversion slated for Wednesday.
Despite the ongoing government shutdown, these ETF debuts are proceeding smoothly, Terret confirmed. The legal processes behind ETF launches, including the crucial 8-A filings, have been completed successfully, paving the way for the launch of these investment vehicles.
Addressing concerns about Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approval during the shutdown, a key detail emerged: the issuers strategically included provisions in their amended S-1 filings, enabling automatic effectiveness 20 days post-filing. This ensures a seamless transition to trading without manual SEC approval.
Bloomberg’s ETF expert, Eric Balchunas, further corroborated this development on social media, confirming the listing notices for Bitwise, Canary, to launch imminently, with grayscale Solana’s conversion scheduled shortly after. Balchunas stated, “Assuming there’s not some last min SEC intervention, looks like this is happening.”
The news has sparked a recovery in HBAR and LTC prices. Litecoin has regained the key $100 mark with a 2% surge in the 24-hour time frame, while Hedera has seen similar gains of 2.1% during the same period.

The post Bitcoin Price Prediction 2025: Why November Could Be the Jackpot Month? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
As October draws to a close, optimism around Bitcoin price prediction 2025 is heating up. With BTC reclaiming key technical levels and macro events aligning in the final week of the month, November could emerge as the ignition point for a major bullish phase across crypto markets led by Bitcoin’s resurgence.
This final week of October is shaping up to be one of the most pivotal in months. Multiple macro catalysts are converging simultaneously, as an analyst has mentioned that the end of quantitative tightening (QT) could be near, potential rate cuts have a higher likelihood than ever, a $1.5 trillion liquidity injection could boost US sentiment, and renewed U.S.-China cooperation could completely rejuvenate the market.
If these developments unfold as anticipated, the result could be a massive surge in global liquidity and risk appetite. The combination of macro, liquidity, and narrative dynamics sets a near-perfect stage for a breakout going into November.
Bitcoin price today is trading around $115,196, marking a sharp 12% rebound from its mid-October low of $103,750. This surge has propelled BTC price above its 200-day EMA, a historically significant indicator.
The last time Bitcoin crossed this level was in Q2 2025, it triggered a powerful upward rally, and similar momentum appears to be building again.
On the Bitcoin price chart, the move above all above major EMAs into new support zones. Now, sustaining above them reinforces bullish sentiment and increases the likelihood of continued upside in the BTC price USD range.
Based on the bullish circumstances from this week’s event, the coming November could see the primary target of $ 130,000 and the next target at $ 145,000 before the year concludes, if bullish momentum continues.
Following a series of outflows, Bitcoin ETF products are now experiencing net positive inflows. On October 24, $90 million in fresh institutional capital flowed into Bitcoin ETFs, signaling renewed investor confidence.
If this momentum continues, october ending days could attract even more institutional liquidity into the market before heading into November.
Simultaneously, on-chain data reveals a steep decline in Bitcoin exchange reserves since September, implying mass accumulation by long-term holders.
Over the past ten days, nearly 7 million BTC have moved back into profit territory, including 5.1 million coins held by investors under six months, per an CryptoQuant insight. This shift indicates growing conviction among newer market participants and a strengthening market structure.
Behaviorally, profitability breeds confidence. As short-term holders see consistent gains, they’re less likely to sell prematurely and more inclined to add to positions. This gradual transformation from short-term speculation to medium-term conviction is a hallmark of early bull market phases.
If Bitcoin maintains its position above these realized price levels, it could confirm a structural transition back to optimism potentially paving the way for another leg up in the broader crypto rally. With momentum, macro alignment, and ETF inflows all trending upward, the Bitcoin price prediction 2025 looks increasingly promising.
As per Coinpedia’s BTC price prediction, the Bitcoin price could peak at $168k this year if the bullish sentiment sustains.
With increased adoption, the price of Bitcoin could reach a height of $901,383.47 in 2030.
As per our latest BTC price analysis, Bitcoin could reach a maximum price of $13,532,059.98
By 2050, a single BTC price could go as high as $377,949,106.84
The post XRP Price Builds Momentum as Macro Catalysts and ETF Hopes Spark Accumulation appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
The broader crypto market appears to be approaching a major turning point and XRP price is positioned right in the middle of it. With liquidity expected to surge and macro catalysts aligning, XRP’s consolidation phase could soon give way to a decisive breakout, setting the tone for a new bullish cycle.
As the global economy braces for a series of synchronized macro shifts, risk assets like crypto are gaining renewed attention. The end of quantitative tightening (QT), the prospect of rate cuts, and a $1.5 trillion liquidity injection are building the foundation for what could be a historic rally.
Combined with easing U.S.-China tensions and strong S&P earnings, the current setup paints a “risk-on” environment. This perfect storm of liquidity, narrative, and capital rotation makes digital assets such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and particularly XRP stand out among blue-chip cryptocurrencies.
Currently, XRP price hovers around $2.62, with a market cap of $157 billion and $4.49 billion in 24-hour trading volume. On the XRP price chart, the token is converging within a symmetrical triangle pattern.
This price compression indicates an extended accumulation phase. Smart money appears to be quietly positioning ahead of what could be a significant shift once volatility expands. The resilience of XRP price today highlights growing investor confidence despite ongoing macro uncertainties.
Interestingly, on-chain metrics from the XRP Ledger DEX are flashing bullish signals. Since May 2025, while price consolidation has continued, the DEX transaction count has been steadily rising shows that order activity and liquidity are building beneath the surface.
This surge in transactional engagement, including order placements and cancellations, reflects heightened participation from sophisticated traders. Such patterns typically precede strong price movements, suggesting that the market is “coiling the spring” for a sharp upside breakout once catalysts align.
Perhaps the most influential upcoming driver for XRP crypto is the growing anticipation around a potential XRP ETF launch. Recent discussions indicate that spot crypto ETFs for XRP, Solana, and Litecoin are ready for regulatory clearance once Washington resumes full operations.
Next two weeks?

Market commentators describe this situation as a “dam about to burst,” with the delay in approval being the only barrier holding back institutional inflows. Once lifted, the wave of new ETF products could dramatically increase XRP exposure, shifting it from an accumulation phase to a sustained XRP price rally.
Analysts and AI forecasts project XRP could reach $5.05 by the end of 2025, driven by ETF approvals, partnerships, and regulatory clarity.
Based on compounding growth and adoption, projections estimate XRP could trade around $26.50 by 2030, with averages near $19.75.
Hypothetically, yes—if XRP reaches $500+ and an investor holds a significant amount (e.g., 2,000 XRP). However, this is speculative and depends on extreme long-term growth.
XRP is considered a strong investment due to its institutional adoption, regulatory progress, and role in cross-border payments. However, it carries volatility risks like all cryptocurrencies.
