Crypto analyst “CryptoTank” has recently issued a statement suggesting that XRP, the cryptocurrency associated with Ripple, may not remain below $1 for much longer. CryptoTank highlighted several upcoming events that could lead to a significant price increase, advising market participants to consider accumulating XRP while it is still priced below $1.
In a post shared on X, CryptoTank expressed his belief that major developments are on the horizon for XRP, mainly driven by Ripple’s bullish activities. Among the events he mentioned is the participation of Ripple executives at an important Federal Reserve meeting scheduled for Tuesday, October 22.
Ripple Executives to Attend Key Fintech Conference
Ripple’s Chairman Chris Larsen and CEO Brad Garlinghouse are expected to speak at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia’s 8th Annual Fintech Conference. This two-day event will feature discussions on critical issues in the fintech industry, and it has attracted the attention of financial experts from various fields.
The conference, co-hosted by prominent institutions such as Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs, the University of Cambridge, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and the Brookings Institution, is seen as an opportunity for Ripple to strengthen its presence in the financial technology space.
CryptoTank views this appearance as a significant step that could boost investor confidence in Ripple and XRP. He emphasized that the executives’ participation in such a prestigious event reflects Ripple’s growing role in the broader financial system.
XRP’s Current Market Position and Adoption Trends
At the time of writing, XRP is trading at $0.5457, a price level it has been under since December 2021. Despite this, many within the cryptocurrency community, including CryptoTank, are optimistic that XRP will soon break the $1 barrier.
Supporters argue that several factors, including the growing adoption of Ripple’s technology and new developments within the XRP ecosystem, point to a potential price increase.
A notable commenter, Roger Metzger, remarked that following the court ruling which classified XRP as a non-security, financial institutions now have the regulatory clarity needed to engage with the cryptocurrency. According to Metzger, this could drive further interest in XRP and push its price higher.
Another community member shared that the current low price of XRP has allowed him to increase his holdings over time. He mentioned that buying at under $1 enabled him to accumulate more without relying on loans, something that may no longer be possible if the price increases.

Positive Developments for XRP: RLUSD Stablecoin and ETFs
Several other developments are contributing to the bullish sentiment surrounding XRP. One key project is the upcoming introduction of Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin , which is expected to bring more liquidity to the XRP ecosystem. The RLUSD stablecoin has the potential to enhance Ripple’s network, increasing its appeal to both retail and institutional investors.
In addition, the possibility of XRP-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) launching soon is another crucial factor that could further drive demand for the cryptocurrency. ETFs have historically been a popular investment vehicle, and their inclusion of XRP could lead to increased market exposure and trading volume.
Mixed Reactions and Skepticism
Despite the optimism of many commentators, not everyone shares the same outlook. Some market participants remain cautious about the short-term prospects of XRP.
One skeptical commenter suggested that even with Ripple’s increased visibility, XRP may not surpass $1 soon, pointing to past events that did not have the anticipated effect on the cryptocurrency’s value.
Others have voiced concerns that the market dynamics surrounding XRP are still uncertain and that external factors such as overall market conditions and investor sentiment could delay any significant price rise.
