Trusted Editorial content, reviewed by leading industry experts and seasoned editors. Ad Disclosure

The crypto market is heating up as attention shifts to XRP and its upcoming XRP ETFs. The head of a leading crypto exchange says the launch of an XRP ETF could bring a wave of fresh capital into the market. He believes the impact will strengthen XRP’s place among digital assets, attract institutional investors, and increase trust in the token. 

Crypto.com CEO Predicts $8 Billion Inflows Into XRP ETF

In a recent video posted on X by John Squire, Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek shared his bold outlook for XRP’s future. He predicts that a new XRP ETF could draw as much as $8 billion in inflows in its first year. According to Marszalek, that level of new money would provide XRP with the extra liquidity it needs to gain more ground in the global cryptocurrency market.

Marszalek explains that these inflows would show a new level of confidence, moving XRP beyond being viewed as just a speculative asset in the digital space. According to the Crypto.com CEO, this moment marks the beginning of XRP’s next phase of growth. 

Marszalek’s prediction suggests that the ETF would indicate institutions are prepared to view XRP as more than just a trading coin. For the XRP community, Marszalek’s words are adding to the excitement already building.  

ETF To Drive Institutional Demand And Liquidity Growth

As institutions add XRP to their portfolios, retail interest may also rise, broadening the base of buyers. The Crypto.com CEO believes the new inflows will not only raise XRP’s position but also give it a larger role in decentralized finance (DeFi). With billions in fresh capital, XRP could appeal more to investors who want blockchain assets for trading or financial tools. 

The timing of the first XRP spot ETF also adds to the bullish momentum. The REX Shares and Osprey Funds will launch the XRP ETF on September 18. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart confirms that the XRP ETF is set to launch this week, despite potential delays for other products. ETF expert Eric Balchunas also notes that, although timelines are shifting, the Osprey XRP ETF is ready to begin trading soon, and experts predict it will attract increased institutional demand.

If that forecast holds, XRP could face a sudden inflow that market watchers call a “liquidity tsunami.” With inflows of up to $8 billion predicted by the Crypto.com CEO, the XRP ETF could mark the beginning of a liquidity surge unlike anything the asset has experienced before.

Expectations are running high among community members and market watchers, who will closely monitor the speed at which funds arrive and how exchanges handle the resulting flows. Traders and long-term holders say they will closely monitor liquidity, adoption, and whether XRP gains steady institutional support moving forward.
