XRP Price Shakeup: Whales, Legal Wins & ETF Hype Fuel Bold $5 Forecasts
XRP traded near $2.85 on Oct. 10, 2025, after a volatile week marked by a whale selling 160 million XRP and over $500 million in long liquidations. The SEC settled with Ripple Labs in August, confirming XRP is not a security and prompting U.S. exchanges to relist the token. Multiple spot XRP ETF applications await SEC decisions by late October, with approval odds seen as high. Ripple also filed for a U.S. banking license and launched new products.
