Exploring the Potential Rise of XRP Prices Post-ETF Approval
Prominent crypto analyst Rob Cunningham has employed artificial intelligence to project the potential rise in XRP prices following the anticipated launch of XRP Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). According to these projections, XRP could witness a significant surge, potentially reaching up to $50, driven mainly by substantial inflows into these funds.

Projected Gains for XRP with ETF Integration
In a detailed analysis shared on social media, Cunningham forecasted that in an extreme scenario, XRP prices could soar to $50, spurred by ETF inflows. He also outlined a more conservative estimate, suggesting a potential increase to between $8 and $12 within a year. Additionally, he identified an “aggressive yet feasible” target range of $20 to $30.
These projections stem from a ChatGPT-generated forecast, which calculated XRP’s potential price increase based on an anticipated $17 billion influx into ETFs over the coming year. Cunningham elaborated on his analytical framework, highlighting the current float availability of 5 billion XRP and the projected $17 billion inflow over 12 months.
With an initial XRP valuation of $3 and a total float market value of $15 billion, Cunningham noted that the new demand from ETFs is set to surpass the entire float’s value within a year. He explained that if $17 billion is earmarked for purchasing XRP at $3, this would allow for the acquisition of 5.7 billion coins. Given that the float is limited to 5 billion, this shortage could drive a repricing of the asset.
The analysis further suggested that prices would continue to escalate until the available float meets the $17 billion demand, leading to a conservative target of $8 and an extreme scenario hitting $50. Cunningham emphasized that ETFs not only absorb liquidity but also institutionalize demand.
The analyst believes that with such a substantial commitment and limited float, a double-digit XRP price (ranging from $10 to $30) becomes a realistic equilibrium target. He also noted the potential for further upside if retail investors and crypto treasuries opt not to sell.
Potential Parabolic Growth Driven by FOMO
Cunningham also presented an alternate scenario where XRP experiences heightened demand due to Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). He predicts that this FOMO could stem from mainstream banks, registered investment advisors (RIAs), institutional investors, and retail participants, all driving XRP prices upward as ETFs gain traction.
These financial entities manage assets worth trillions, and even a modest 0.5% allocation into XRP from these firms could eclipse the ETF inflows. Cunningham projected that $700 billion could flow into XRP from these institutions, a figure far exceeding the available float of 5 billion coins. Consequently, he suggested that without FOMO, XRP could settle between $8 and $30, while widespread FOMO could trigger a rally up to $150. He further speculated that a systemic allocation could propel prices as high as $500.
