Crypto analyst Austin Hilton is the latest to give his opinion on the future trajectory of the XRP price going forward. Specifically, Hilton noted two events that will spur XRP\u2019s price to go up \u201cdramatically.\u201d The analyst also outlined other metrics that present a bullish sentiment for the XRP ecosystem.\u00a0 Major Events That Will Cause XRP Price To Rise In a video shared on his YouTube Channel, Hilton singled out the approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs and the upcoming Bitcoin Halving as the two events that will cause XRP\u2019s price to go up \u201cdramatically.\u201d He mentioned that the XRP price could rise to over $1.50 when the SEC approves these funds.\u00a0 Related Reading: Crypto Analyst Predicts Cardano Price Will Rise 6000% To $33, Here\u2019s The Timeline Bloomberg analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas currently predict that there is a 90% chance that a Spot BTC ETF will get approved by January 10. Although he had his reservations about that, he seemed optimistic that the SEC would approve these funds soon as the Commission is \u201crunning out of reasons to say no.\u201d Once that happens, he expects his price prediction of $1.50 or over to materialize. He had referred to an article where another analyst predicted that XRP would hit this price level in March. However, he believes that it could happen in January or February, depending on how things go. Hilton was quick to point out the fact that these events (BTC Spot ETF & Bitcoin Halving) do not exactly relate to XRP. However, he stated that XRP, being a blue chip, will move up when the overall market moves up. Major altcoins have so far been beneficiaries of Bitcoin\u2019s metric rise on the back of a possible Spot BTC ETF approval. As such, that could explain Hilton\u2019s position on XRP\u2019s rise.\u00a0 XRP bulls struggle to retain control | Source: XRPUSD on Tradingview.com On-Chain Metrics Suggest Bullish Sentiments For XRP The analyst also noted that on-chain metrics suggest a bullish outlook for the XRP ecosystem. These metrics include the number of daily transactions and wallet addresses on the XRP Ledger. According to him, this suggests that there is a \u201cfair amount\u201d of liquidity flowing into the ecosystem.\u00a0 Related Reading: Shiba Inu Rally To $0.0001?

Data from BitInfoCharts also shows that XRP has been going head-to-head with Bitcoin and Ethereum in terms of daily transactions. Despite the XRP price\u2019s relatively tepid movement, Hilton sounded bullish on the crypto token as he mentioned that current price levels are a \u201csteal\u201d considering the heights that XRP will attain.\u00a0 At the time of writing, the XRP price is trading at around $0.60, down over 2% in the last 24 hours, according to data from CoinMarketCap.\u00a0 Featured image from TechnoPixel, chart from Tradingview.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":594,"featured_media":565231,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16894],"tags":[167,6664,26263,14690,90652,90653,3680,17209,4531,83637,13172,10972,78763],"class_list":["post-565226","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ripple","tag-analyst","tag-crypto","tag-crypto-analyst","tag-crypto-news","tag-crypto-pundit","tag-pundit","tag-ripple","tag-ripple-news","tag-xrp","tag-xrp-news","tag-xrp-price","tag-xrpusd","tag-xrpusdt"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
