Late Thursday, a whopping 10 billion dollars worth of money flooded the Ripple XRP market capital. In the morning session, the influx made Ripple XRP soar to a new high of $2.52. Investors were hoping that the price of bitcoin would reach $3, but the market went south on Friday morning, wiping out all the gains. The market plummeted down to $2.2 and the chart is extremely volatile.
Who put $10 billion worth of funds into Ripple’s Ripple XRP?
After the Nasdaq launched the Canary XRP ETF, (XRPC), the $10 billion in funds came on Thursday. The ETF became the first US Spot fund with direct exposure of XRP to institutional clients. While the launch saw a 8% gain for the altcoin it also erased gains on the day. Eric Balchunas, Senior ETF Analyst at Bloomberg covered the launch in detail. He noted that the trading volume reached $26 million within the first thirty minutes of the approval.

Can the ETF power push the altcoin up to $3?
The chances of the ETF’s approval pushing XRP over the $3 mark are slim. The ETF could have made a push on the very first day, but this didn’t occur. Cryptocurrency market volatility can wipe out gains generated by morning. The market is therefore considered high-risk.
You can also read about the revised price prediction from CoinCodex does not indicate that XRP would reclaim $3. By the end of this year, the altcoin that is leading could be worth $2.62. This is a return of investment (ROI), or an increase, by approximately 13% compared to its current value. A $1,000 investment could grow to $1,130, if the forecast proves accurate. This is still a decent return considering that the forecast is for only two months.
