The crypto world is poised for one of its biggest milestones this week. The Rex-Osprey XRP ETF Launch is finally coming after a brief delay. This will be the first US spot ETF providing investors with direct access to XRP, the third-largest cryptocurrency in the market by capitalization. The date is not public, but signs are that the launch will coincide with the next Fed meeting and potential rate cut.

The move comes after the success of Rex-Osprey Dogecoin ETF (DOJE) coin, which went live on September 11, 2025. With the listing of both Exchange Traded Funds shortly thereafter, investors in the United States will, for the first time in history, be able to buy exchange-traded funds directly correlated with two of the most popular-selling cryptocurrencies.
Both has overcome the SEC barrier and are set to roll out this week, perhaps on the same day, that is September 18. If so, it would be an historic moment as two crypto-based ETFs start at the same time.
The Rex-Osprey XRP ETF is being particularly considered as the benchmark for the crypto market. It will enable institutional investors and retail investors to access spot exposure to the altcoin without holding the token outright. This already gave a boost to investor confidence, with the prices increasing after the news.
The token is fluctuating at $3.03, having increased over 2% in a day. Market analysts are of the opinion that this sudden rise addresses the ever-persistent question of: "why is XRP crypto increasing?" The ETF approval and technical backing are propelling it towards another boost.

As far as its price forecasting is concerned, both bullish and bearish directions are being examined by the analysts. On the brighter side, if it is able to cross above the resistance level of $3.60, then the subsequent targets might be $4.20 and $5.00 as of 2025 end. With ETF-demand fueled and banking institutionalization support, the majority consider the altcoin to $10 in 2026.

The question on everyone’s mind is: "Will XRP reach $10?" The odds are large, but the token first needs to show that it can hold above levels of resistance. If it cannot hold above $2.80, a slide back to $2.40 or even $2.00 cannot be discounted, which will delay its long-run appreciation.
Today's news indicates consistent interest, as the market cap is $181.17 billion and 24-hour volume is $5.44 billion. This indicates that it continues to be one of the most traded altcoins of today's market.
Rex-Osprey XRP ETF news has introduced new interest to the crypto world. By breaking new ground as the first US spot Exchange Traded Funds for the altcoin it may reshape investor engagement and market dynamics. Although the current price is $3.03, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether this altcoin may pierce above resistance and approach its long-term goal of the coin to $10.
