XRP ETF Inflows Could Push XRP Price to $15, Says Financial Analyst Zach Rector

A bold XRP prediction is gaining traction as ETF talks heat up. Financial analyst Zach Rector has presented a compelling case showing how the XRP price could hit $15. His model is based on projected ETF inflows, using JPMorgan’s conservative estimate of $4 billion. By applying a market cap multiplier, Rector believes the XRP market cap could explode to $925 billion. The prediction arrives as anticipation grows around multiple XRP ETF applications and global regulatory momentum.

How XRP ETFs Could Trigger a Massive Price Surge

Rector’s model leans on historical market cap behavior and ETF optimism. According to his breakdown, XRP has demonstrated a massive multiplier effect before. On April 12, $12.87M in inflows led to a $7.74B market cap jump, an effective 601x multiplier. To stay conservative, Rector trimmed the multiplier to 200x and used JPMorgan’s lower $4 billion ETF inflow estimate. The math? A possible $800 billion increase in XRP market cap, raising it from $125B to $925B.

Assuming a 60 billion token circulating supply, that valuation would place the XRP price around $15, nearly 600% higher than current levels. His forecast also aligns with growing industry excitement. Nine major firms, including Ark Invest, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton, have filed for spot XRP ETFs. Brazil already approved a spot XRP ETF, and the U.S. SEC has acknowledged several filings. Ripple’s legal resolution, expected this year, adds further optimism. Polymarket puts the odds of ETF approval in 2025 at 78%.

However, Rector cautions that futures markets and decentralized exchange activity could add complexity. While Ethereum ETFs have underperformed in inflows, XRP’s case may be different due to stronger momentum and global support.

XRP Price Actions on April 15

The trading day of April 14th started with bullish momentum, sparked by the previous day’s golden cross. Early overbought signals at 00:20 and 02:30 UTC drove the price upward briefly. However, by 03:00 UTC, a death cross on the MACD line flipped the trend, triggering a decline. The price continued to move lower, hitting an oversold zone by 07:00 UTC, then moved sideways within a tight trading range. Later in the day, at 16:35 UTC, a golden cross on the MACD hinted at recovery but just as quickly, a new death cross appeared, sending mixed signals as the market transitioned into April 15.

As per the 5-minute XRP/USDT chart, April 15 opened with bullish signs driven by a golden cross. RSI entered overbought territory shortly after, lifting the price toward the $2.1853 resistance level. But momentum faded quickly, with a new death cross on the MACD suggesting bearish pressure could take over. According to XRP price prediction, if this downward move gains traction, XRP could break below $2.0802 and aim for $2.0000 or lower. However, if bulls return, XRP might flip resistance at $2.1853 and aim for $2.2500 or more.

XRP Price Outlook

The XRP ETF buzz is reigniting bullish XRP news, with analysts forecasting a potential $15 target if ETF inflows mirror JPMorgan’s $4B estimate. However, the short-term XRP price outlook remains cautious. If bearish pressure holds, it could drop below $2.0802 and target $2.0000. A reversal could push XRP past $2.1853, aiming for $2.2500 and beyond.
