XRP jumped almost 12% in 24 hours (on CoinMarketCap), leading major cryptocurrencies as news of the U.S. government reopening lifted market sentiment. Following the surge, analysts at Sistine Research issued a bullish forecast for XRP.
The move came around the same time two giant whale trades cumulatively transferred over $66 million of XRP. This is an indication that institutional traders are coming back to the market.
Ripple’s Regulatory Progress Position XRP For Gains
Sistine Research, a market analytics firm known for its macro-crypto outlooks, called XRP “the best-looking major” and the “fastest horse” in the current rally. The firm said the Clarity Act and potential ETF listings are key catalysts for XRP.
So XRP is the best looking major here and fastest horse off the government opening news.
No surprise there… expecting banking charter approval, clarity act, and etfs soon, all of which benefit XRP more than other majors.

This new accumulation of the whales strengthens the tendency. As shown by Whale Alert, 400 million XRP equivalent to approximately $10.1 million was unlocked in escrow and transferred to an unknown wallet. It is a sign that controlled releases of the Ripple-linked token are continuing even amid tightening supply conditions.
Separately, Whale Insider reported 22,084,995 XRP (approximately $56.17 million) withdrawn from BitGet Exchange to a 4-day-old wallet. This also signals institutional self-custody accumulation.
Together, these transfers together suggest that there is increasing confidence in a short-term bullish surge in XRP. This surge could be boosted as soon as the U.S government reopens.
In fact, five spot XRP ETFs are set to launch this month amid DTCC listings. It believes these developments would strengthen XRP’s upside position more than any other major coin.
The report came as XRP climbed from a low of $2.27 to $2.56. This marks one of its strongest daily moves this month. The trading volume also increased by almost 121% up to more than $5 billion, indicating a rebound investor confidence in the asset.
Analysts affirm that the end of the shutdown is an indication of new government spending and inflow of liquidity. Traditionally, such circumstances are often an advantage for risky assets such as crypto.
The case made by Sistine Research is that XRP will be the biggest beneficiary due to multiple reasons. Its contribution in cross-border settlements and institutional payments may increase with the resumption of fiscal activities as well as confidence returning to the markets.
Several Factors Confirm XRP’s Outlook After Shutdown
The Sistine Research team also stated that Ripple’s push for a national banking license remains a key milestone. They said the approval would push the token into the next stage of wider adoption.
Recently, other major players such as Crypto.com have also joined Ripple in applying for a federal banking license, highlighting a broader industry shift toward regulatory integration and institutional-grade compliance.
Clarity Act will result in the proper categorization of digital assets in the U.S., which is sure to introduce long-term legal clarity to tokens like XRP. The analysts feel this would attract institutional involvement which has been reluctant so far.
Based on the combination of these factors, XRP now seems to be better placed to lead the crypto market rebound as government operations reopen. In addition to the positive sentiment, analyst Ali (@ali_charts) estimated that XRP might be a great buy when its price drops to the $1.90 level. The current XRP price is $2.55, according to CoinMarketCap data.
He predicted that the token could go as high as $6 in case the current bull wave persists. The chart-based forecast by Ali indicated the possibility of a dip-rip pattern.
