XRP has surged back above $3.00, kicking off October with a 7% rally as institutional support for the token grows. Analysts are now boosting their XRP price predictions, with some pointing to Wall Street adoption as a major catalyst.
One headline driver came from VivoPower (VVPR), which raised $19 million at $6.05/share to build a digital asset treasury focused on stacking XRP. The move makes it one of the first Nasdaq-listed firms to put serious capital directly into Ripple’s ecosystem.
At the same time, the CME Group — the world’s largest derivatives exchange — is preparing to roll out 24/7 crypto trading by early 2026, pending regulatory approval. While Bitcoin and Ethereum will lead the way, XRP and Solana options are scheduled to launch October 13, expanding institutional access beyond the top two coins.
CME says its crypto futures and options are already seeing record trading volumes, reflecting stronger regulatory support and growing demand from traditional finance. For Ripple, this shift could drive new liquidity, larger volumes, and greater mainstream exposure — factors that are already reflected in XRP’s chart.
