Barely one day into the month, and September is already shaping up to be quite interesting for XRP.
Most notably, prediction markets now see an 87% chance of a U.S. XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) launching in 2025, according to data from Polymarket, while Bloomberg projects $5–8 billion in potential inflows should approval arrive by October 2025.
Whales have also bought 340 million XRP, worth around $900 million, over just two weeks in August, marking the biggest whale spree since mid-2024. Exchange inflows also remain high at 260 million XRP per week.
Ripple’s legal victory against the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in August likewise lifted restrictions on institutional XRP sales, paving the way for expanded partnerships with banks such as SBI Holdings.
XRP price prediction
To set an XRP price target for September 30, 2025, Finbold’s AI prediction agent used multiple LLMs to generate an average forecast for improved accuracy while incorporating momentum-based indicators into its context. You can experiment with the existing prompts or create your own.
According to our prediction agent, the average XRP price on September 30 will be $2.70, implying a 3.23% downside from the current price of $2.79.
Anthropic’s Claude 4 Sonnet posted the most pessimistic forecast, projecting an XRP price of at $2.55, a potential 8.6% downside from the current price.
Grok 3 was also bearish with a target of $2.65, a 5.02% downside. GPT-4o, however, was bullish, predicting the cryptocurrency would trade at $2.90 by the end of the month and projecting a 3.94% upside.
On the technical side, XRP is showing signs of short-term weakness reflected in its weekly 5.5% drop as of the time of writing.
With the current price of $2.79, the cryptocurrency is trading well below its 50-day moving average (MA) of $3.09, highlighting continued short-term bearish pressure.
Momentum indicators further reinforce the downtrend, as the moving average/convergence divergence (MACD) sits at -0.062, below its signal line at -0.035 and with a negative histogram of -0.027. However, slopes suggest the decline may be stabilizing, as the chart below indicates.
The relative strength index (RSI) reads 41.27, indicating neutral-to-bearish conditions, while the stochastic oscillator shows %K at 20.71 and %D at 13.19, approaching oversold territory. This could signal that XRP is nearing a short-term bottom and may be primed for a bounce if buying pressure emerges.
Maintaining above $2.76 will be crucial to prevent further downside. If the support holds, XRP may rebound toward the mid-range resistance around $3.20. A sustained breakout above that could further pave the way toward the $3.60.
