XRP Price Prediction: Could Nasdaq Listing and Bullish Sentiment Push XRP to $9?

The post XRP Price Prediction: Could Nasdaq Listing and Bullish Sentiment Push XRP to $9? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

The XRP price isn’t behaving like the rest of the market. While the broader crypto space has shed billions in this recent crash led largely by Bitcoin and Ethereum but still XRP, the third-largest crypto asset excluding stablecoins, has not logged the third-largest valuation drop. In fact, relative performance shows it holding up better than Ethereum, BNB, and Solana, too.

Sentiment Flips Bullish Again On XRP Price

Here’s where it gets interesting. On February 19th, Santiment insights showed that social data shows bullish narratives fading around BTC and ETH, yet XRP has climbed to a five-week high in bullish sentiment. Buyers appear to be stepping in on dips, as a result of bullish chit chat, hinting that the XRP price chart may be entering a rebuilding phase rather than freefall.

Of course, sentiment alone doesn’t guarantee upside. But divergence during a market-wide slump usually catches attention.

Nasdaq Exposure in Focus

Evernorth has announced plans to list on Nasdaq under the ticker XRPN. If executed, that would place regulated XRP exposure directly in the hands of institutional investors even without them holding the asset itself.

Pension funds. Asset managers. Institutional desks. That’s the gap the listing is designed to close. Regulated wrappers have historically reshaped access narratives around digital assets, and this could influence the long-term XRP price prediction if capital channels open as expected.

Regulatory Winds Shifting?

But let’s be real, the most needed regulatory clarity is still the real hinge. And recently, Brad Garlinghouse has publicly suggested that U.S. market structure legislation could arrive as soon as April, assigning a 90% probability to near-term progress. The comment has fueled debate across policy and trading circles.

If clearer rules do arrive, it could shift XRP’s perception from speculative token to regulated bridge asset within the U.S. financial system. That’s a structural narrative shift, not just a price bounce.

Meanwhile, technical optimism is building. One widely followed analyst has pointed to a three-day fractal mirroring XRP’s 2017 breakout structure. In that historical case, a prolonged consolidation gave way to a vertical surge toward all-time highs. Based on that projection, targets like $4 and even $9 have been floated, implying 2x to 7x gains from current levels.

Ambitious? Absolutely. But is it Possible? Then this market will decide, wether it’ll go the conservative route or ambitious.

For now, the XRP price sits at the intersection of resilience, rising sentiment, regulatory optimism, and bold fractal projections. Whether XRP/USD turns this divergence into dominance depends on how fundamentals and momentum converge in the weeks ahead. But if bears dominate again and push beneath the $1 mark, things would turn strongly bearish.
