Well-known voice in the XRP community, Cryptoinsightuk, says XRP is on the verge of major news.
In a tweet, Cryptoinsightuk asked community members to vote whether the U.S. government might take a 5–10% stake in Ripple or claim a portion of the XRP escrow.
Results from his poll of thousands of followers show a split within the community. Roughly 29.6% expect such a move before 2026, while 27.3% believe it will happen in 2026.
Specifically, he outlined a potential sequence of events for October. These include U.S. approval of a spot XRP ETF, followed by progress on the Clarity Act, which aims to define digital asset regulations.
Moreover, he suggested that Ripple could see government involvement that same month. One factor fueling this belief is President Donald Trump’s March announcement that XRP would be among the cryptocurrencies held by the government.
Since then, XRP enthusiasts have speculated that the government could use Ripple’s escrowed XRP for the purpose. In recent weeks, however, discussions around this topic have quieted somewhat.
Nonetheless, Cryptoinsightuk hinted that beyond these impending developments, the charts are “lining up” for a major move.
ETF Countdown Adds Fuel to the Speculation
The analyst’s remarks come as the XRP ETF race enters its final stage. As reported earlier, prospective issuers, including Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, and Franklin, filed their final amendments with the SEC this week.
Bloomberg analysts place the odds of approval by year-end at 95%. Final decision deadlines for multiple XRP ETF applications are set between October 10 and 25.
If the SEC follows the pattern seen with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, trading could begin within days of approval.
Institutional Momentum Already Building
Meanwhile, demand for XRP investment vehicles is rising even before spot products launch. The REX-Osprey XRP ETF (XRPR) debuted this month with $37.7 million in first-day natural volume. This is the highest of any U.S. ETF launch in 2025.
Additionally, CME Group’s XRP futures recently topped $1 billion in open interest, and futures-based XRP ETFs collectively hold over $800 million in assets. Analysts expect up to $5 billion in inflows within weeks if spot ETFs go live.
October as a Breakout Month
Market watchers, such as Oliver Michel of Tokentus Investment AG, suggest that altcoins like XRP may offer the largest upside, projecting gains of up to 4X following ETF approvals.
With XRP consolidating near $3, the combination of imminent SEC decisions and potential Ripple developments in October could mark the “very big news” Cryptoinsightuk anticipates, setting the stage for a significant price surge.
