XRP is positioned at a critical juncture, with investors and analysts pointing to June 2025 as a possible turning point.
According to Dr. Martin Hiesboeck, three major developments could align this month to spark renewed momentum for the digital asset, which has been trading around $2 following a sharp rise after the 2024 U.S. presidential election.
The first major catalyst to watch is the pending decision by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF application. The financial industry is keeping an eye on June 17, when the SEC is expected to come to a decision.
Even though April’s expected approval did not happen, the timeline has only interested investors more. An accepted spot ETF could bring in institutional money and make XRP available to more investors, much like Bitcoin became after its ETF got approval in early 2024.

Even so, past trends serve as a warning, as the launch of the Ethereum spot ETF in July 2024 made little difference to its price. Even though concerns are rising about how much interest there will be in an XRP ETF amid uncertain economic policies, seven companies have filed for spot XRP ETFs, pointing to greater interest from large institutions.
The next significant trigger will be dependent on the Federal Reserve and how it sets its monetary policy, with the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) scheduled to meet on June 17 and 18. If economic data shows that trade frictions are causing economic problems, a reduction in interest rates may be introduced.
In past years, when central banks cut interest rates, investors tended to move assets into altcoins, which are known to offer higher returns. Renewed interest in risk assets could happen if the Fed makes a positive policy change.
Major XRP Developer Event to Highlight Future Projects
The third significant catalyst is the XRPL APEX conference, which will take place June 10–12 in Singapore. This annual gathering is the largest event for the XRP developer ecosystem.
It will feature Ripple executives alongside presentations on AI integration, cross-chain functionality, decentralized finance, and real-world asset tokenization. Such topics signal Ripple’s continued commitment to innovation within the blockchain space.
In history, such events have brought positive changes to tech products by revealing fresh alliances with users or updates that improve adoption, potentially influencing investor sentiment. A week like this is likely to occur when market conditions support price movements in both directions.
Combined, these three developments—regulatory, monetary, and technological—could create ideal conditions for XRP to break out of its current range. Investors are closely following these catalysts, realizing just how unusual it is for them to happen simultaneously.
June’s events could change the direction of the XRP market. As these catalysts begin to line up, the digital asset could take a new step forward.
