Institutional Adoption Grows, But XRP Price Continues to Dip

A paradoxical trend has emerged in the XRP price, with the value plummeting despite increasing institutional adoption. Organizational giants have been making significant bets on the Ripple token, with massive investments announced in recent days. However, the XRP price is now struggling to maintain a positive momentum.

Growing Institutional Adoption

In a stunning development, Ripple’s native token has seen a growing interest from institutional giants. The US SEC’s categorization of the coin as a non-security has bolstered the altcoin’s position in the crypto market, sparking a wave of investments from both institutions and individuals.

The latest development includes asset manager Amplify Investments’ XRP Monthly Option Income ETF with the SEC. The fund, which intends to allocate 80% to XRP-related instruments and 20% to Treasuries or cash-like assets, is expected to be launched in November.

Another significant development was Japanese gaming platform Gumi’s $17 million investment in Ripple. On August 29, the firm announced its potential plans to purchase tokens worth 2.5 billion yen, underscoring the company’s broader strategy to accelerate the growth of its blockchain business.

While analysts see this growing acceptance as a bullish sign for the altcoin , the altcoin hasn’t capitalized on this positive sentiment. Despite growing adoption and popularity, the XRP price continues to dip.

Analysts see this as a sign of growing institutional interest in crypto, with multiple ETF filings pending approval. The potential approval of the Ripple ETF could draw significant institutional investment, potentially transforming the crypto investment landscape.

10% Dip in a Month

Currently, Ripple’s coin is experiencing a downtrend, with its value plummeting significantly. At press time, the cryptocurrency is trading at $2.72, down 3.9% in a day. Over the past week and month, the altcoin has seen more notable downticks of 9% and 10% respectively.

Despite this negative trend, the cryptocurrency is sitting high-headed at the third spot of CoinMarketCap, boasting a market cap of $162 billion (down 3.8%) and a trading volume of $4.83 billion (up 43%).

In an X post earlier today, analyst John Square posited that the coin’s bull market is over. He urges investors to sell their tokens, predicting the upcoming market crash. At the same time, analyst Mathew Dixon shared an optimistic perspective with the help of the Elliot Wave theory. According to his analysis, XRP price is poised to hit $3.8 or beyond, based on the completed Elliott Wave pattern and other technical indicators.
