Crypto analyst Zach Rector has released an updated timeline highlighting several upcoming events that he believes could significantly impact XRP. According to Rector, these key dates may signal a shift in market conditions and offer what he describes as the “time to lock in” for XRP holders.
The timeline starts on April 24, connected with a mineral rights deal in Ukraine, a development Rector linked to broader geopolitical changes. While he does not detail its direct effect on crypto, he includes it to show how global factors may contribute to changing investor sentiment.
The next date on his timeline is April 30, which holds essential value for XRP community members. Two key events are scheduled for this day. First, the U.S. government will disclose the first-quarter 2025 GDP report, and then, the market will see two XRP-based exchange-traded funds from ProShares hitting exchanges.
Three separate XRP ETFs will debut together for the inaugural launch which may boost traditional finance platform access for XRP along with attracting additional investment attention.

Legal Progress and Market Access Point to Key XRP Milestones
Looking ahead, Rector identifies June 18 as another important date for XRP holders. The Federal Reserve is expected to issue another interest rate decision, with growing expectations of a possible rate cut. Such a move could influence investor appetite for digital assets, including XRP.
Rector also included legal and regulatory developments that could affect XRP’s future on his list. He believes the long-standing legal battle between Ripple and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is nearing its conclusion, which could clarify XRP’s regulatory classification.
According to his prediction, stablecoins will secure final regulatory approval by August, while XRP-related ETFs will appear on the market soon. Rector states that these changes will boost investor trust and participation levels in the crypto market sector.
The timeline predicted by Rector also includes pending trade agreements that Donald Trump plans to announce, but specific details about them remain undisclosed. The analyst positions these developments as elements that combine with other factors to determine XRP’s position in the financial domain.
Rector notes that the ongoing period generates fear alongside uncertainty, yet he predicts that this uncertain phase will eventually conclude. According to Rector, the upcoming events deserve XRP holders’ attention because they may establish beneficial entry conditions.
In his opinion, the market needs immediate action because sentiment patterns will soon change.
