Community analyst Arthur recently outlined why he believes XRP may be nearing a major turning point. His assessment focuses on what is already functioning within the ecosystem, what institutions now have access to, and how broader economic conditions align with these developments. He presented a clear argument that the groundwork for a stronger valuation is in place, even though the price remains stable around $2. XRP next leg up will be MASSIVE – Ripple Prime is live, serving U.S. institutions – XRP Ledger ecosystem exploding (DeFi, Firelight, EURØP, tokenization…) – ETFs breaking records – Macro setup screaming for a rate cut and QE – Institutional rails, custody, liquidity,… — Arthur (@XrpArthur) December 4, 2025 Institutional Access and Ripple Prime Arthur pointed to Ripple Prime now being live and serving U.S. institutions. He described it as a key step that gives professional firms direct access to liquidity and infrastructure designed for large-scale financial operations. He noted that Ripple’s broader push to build the financial rails used by institutions is advancing, with custody solutions, liquidity pathways, and operational tools already functioning. In his view, these elements form the structural base that will matter when markets reassess the asset’s value. Growth Across the XRP Ledger Ecosystem Arthur highlighted growth across the XRP Ledger, emphasizing active sectors such as DeFi, Firelight, tokenization projects , and the development of EURØP. He described the ecosystem as expanding in real time, supported by tangible on-chain activity rather than speculation. Despite this expansion, XRP continues to trade between roughly $2.10 and $2.20. Arthur argued that the price does not yet reflect the level of development underway. Macro Conditions and ETF Performance Beyond ecosystem progress, Arthur pointed to macroeconomic factors that may eventually support higher valuations. His view is that expectations for rate cuts and possible quantitative easing could create a favorable environment for digital assets. He also noted that ETFs continue to post strong results , reinforcing the role of institutional products in providing access to the asset class. Taken together, he believes these conditions strengthen the case for a future market adjustment. Community Reactions and Diverging Views The commentary drew different responses from the community. X user BD InTheHouse agreed with Arthur’s position, stating that most of the required elements are already in place, including regulatory clarity, institutional partnerships, cross-border payment deployments, and the recognition that XRP is not classified as a security. Meanwhile, user @cube5542 expressed skepticism, pointing out that similar claims have been made in the past without material price changes. He noted that repeated optimism makes it difficult to stay enthusiastic. Arthur’s position is that the next move for XRP will not be a brief surge but a broader repricing based on institutional infrastructure, ecosystem growth, and macro conditions. He maintains that these elements are already active and that the market has yet to recognize their impact fully.
