The crypto market is getting ready for a big Ripple week. Franklin Templeton XRP ETF is all set to launch tomorrow, and analysts say this could change the future of the asset forever.
Popular analyst Steph Is Crypto already said that “XRP price prediction of $5 seems fair now,” and many top market experts think it can even touch $37 to $50 by 2026.

This is one of the biggest events of the year for ripple holders, as the entire market is watching how this launch will affect the future price and overall confidence.
Franklin filing will go under the ticker EZRP on November 18. Bitwise will release its own exchange traded funds on November 20, and after that, almost nine more listed funds may go live before the month ends.
This could bring billions of dollars into altcoin pushing its price ,trading volume, and market cap higher.
Firm’s CEO Jenny Johnson said:
“The launch of the Franklin Templeton XRP ETF Sec approval marks a significant milestone in institutional adoption for the altcoin and we are eager to facilitate this transition for our clients.”
This statement clearly shows how serious the company is about bringing the token to big investors, retirement funds, and financial institutions. Also, this upcoming launch is one of the biggest reasons why it is going up today, despite Bitcoin, and the overall crypto market is crashing.
Right now, it is trading around $2.24, up about 2% in 24 hours, and its trading volume has jumped 70% to $5.28 billion. But the technical chart is weak:
It is facing rejection at $2.30–$2.35
Lower highs are forming for almost a week
RSI near 41–42 shows weak buying
MACD is flat near zero
Support lies near $2.18
Resistance sits at $2.28–$2.32
Analyst Ali also warned that $2.15 is the most important support. If it falls below this, it can drop to $1.98–$2.05. Now, the Franklin XRP ETF launch tomorrow is the only hope for a trend reversal.

Short Term Scenario
If it stays above $2.15, then the November 18 launch can create a strong move, pushing the price between $2.55 - $2.70. But if the support breaks, then it may quickly fall around $1.98.
Note: At this moment, technical signals are weak
Mid-Term Target
With Bitwise exchange traded funds launching on Nov 20, and other 9 ETFs expected soon, it can get massive inflows similar to Bitcoin’s, pushing the price towards $4 to $5 as Steph Is Crypto analyst also indicated.
Long-Term XRP Price Target 2026
The upcoming listed funds open the doors for: Banks, institutions, retirement funds, payment companies, global liquidity from UAE, Japan, and Singapore. This new money flow is targeting a strong figure in 2026 for the asset.
For now if positive sentiment returns in the market then it will move upward towards $7 - $12. As per my analysis being a cryptocurrency expert, by 2026 it may target $37 - $50 if early alt-season starts. This long-term vision is why investors are discussing the Franklin Templeton SEC decision today.
Tomorrow’s launch is not just another news headline, it may be the moment that pushes ripple into a new growth cycle. The short-term trend depends on the $2.15 support, but the mid-term and long-term outlook looks strong due to heavy institutional interest.
Whether it hits $5 soon or reaches $37–$50 by 2026, one thing is clear: The Franklin Templeton XRP ETF is now the center of the entire Ripple story.
