XRP price momentum is building as fresh reserve plans worth $300 million surface alongside rising optimism around ETF approval, with odds reportedly climbing to 92%. These developments could mark a turning point for XRP, which has struggled to sustain long-term rallies despite periodic surges. How quickly could these factors translate into upward price action?
New XRP Reserve Strategy Suggests Potential Upside
Webus International has disclosed a $300 million XRP reserve strategy in a new SEC filing, positioning XRP as a critical asset in its upcoming infrastructure. This move follows VivoPower International’s $121 million XRP treasury announcement. To traders, the reserve plans are a strong signal of institutional trust in Ripple’s utility.
At the same time, Ripple’s delayed 1 billion XRP unlock adds a layer of unpredictability to short-term supply expectations. Historically, monthly token unlocks have influenced price action, and the recent delay may temporarily limit downside pressure.
Price-wise, XRP has formed a tight consolidation pattern. Technical analysts suggest a breakout may be in play if volume expands and XRP’s price sustains above the $2.1 resistance. According to InvestingHaven, XRP is showing resilience within its structure, and if support levels remain intact, a breakout toward $3 may become viable.

XRP ETF Approval Odds Soar: 92% Chance of Approval in 2025
XRP’s odds for a spot ETF approval in 2025 have jumped to 92%, according to Polymarketdata. In May 2025, the odds were 83%, and in April, it was much lower. This rise is attributed to the SEC’s ongoing review of multiple XRP ETF applications from asset managers, including Bitwise, 21Shares, Canary Capital, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton.
A key factor influencing this optimism is the improved relationship between Ripple Labs and the SEC. In March 2025, the SEC dropped its longstanding lawsuit against Ripple, removing a significant legal obstacle. Although an amended settlement awaits finalization, the dismissal has positively impacted market sentiment.
