Financial institutions are optimistic about XRP, expecting this wave of market activity to potentially push the price close to a new high of $8. The underlying logic is quite clear—the regulatory window has opened, and the progress of the CLARITY bill has given the market hope; at the same time, the approval of spot ETFs and trust banks has paved the way for institutional funds.

Analyst Sam Daodu pointed out that this rally did not happen out of nowhere. Seven US spot XRP ETFs have already secured supply, and real funds are flowing in. More importantly, Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin continues to grow, indicating that underlying demand is expanding—from financial institutions to stablecoin use cases, XRP's ecosystem vitality is on the rise.

Once institutional demand is unleashed, coupled with continued accumulation of spot ETFs, XRP could potentially hit a new all-time high, even breaking into the $8-10 range. This is not just price speculation but a rational expectation supported by fundamentals.

8 yuan? I like it, but I feel like the institutional entry in this round is a bit late... The data on RLUSD is really good.

$8? I think that's fine, but the premise is that institutions really stop playing heartbeat games.

8 knives? Sounds pretty risky, but this time it's really a bit different.

ngl the "fundamentals" argument here is giving me pause—technically speaking, locking supply in etfs doesn't actually guarantee demand, that's just... how markets work. the rlusd growth is interesting tho, proof of actual utility beats speculation imo.

8 bucks? Haha, this time it's really backed by institutions, unlike before when it was just retail investors hyping themselves up.

8 bucks? I don't believe it, I've heard this kind of excuse too many times haha Wait, is RLUSD really increasing? I haven't been paying much attention to that To be honest, it's true that institutional funds have come in, but how long will it stay at 8-10 dollars... I'll just wait and see if it hits 3 first
