- BlackRock’s potential XRP involvement sparks renewed speculation across the crypto market.
- Analysts debate whether institutional demand could accelerate XRP’s long term breakout.
- New ETF listings heighten expectations surrounding future institutional moves on XRP.
Skipper XRPL, a popular voice in the XRP community, sparked speculations after stating on X that BlackRock’s possible involvement in XRP ETFs could act as the key catalyst for what he described as the token’s biggest breakout.
His comments focused on BlackRock’s influence across digital asset ETFs and the strong inflows that followed earlier product launches for Bitcoin and Ethereum.
According to Skipper XRPL, ETFs allow investors to buy crypto with the ease of purchasing stocks. He noted that Bitcoin’s ETF reached $10 billion in inflows within three months while Ethereum experienced similar interest as major investors expanded their positions through regulated instruments supported by firms such as BlackRock.
Besides referencing ETF performance, Skipper XRPL pointed to XRP’s presence in cross-border payment systems. He highlighted that the token already powers transactions for top financial institutions such as Santander and SBI. He also stressed XRP’s capacity to support high-volume settlement flows with low fees and rapid confirmation times.

Notably, Skipper XRPL’s video gained traction because he argued that BlackRock’s potential entry into the XRP ETF market could drive unprecedented demand. He linked this to global payment flows handled by SWIFT. He explained that routing even a fraction of that volume through XRP could create substantial market pressure due to the token’s limited supply.
Moreover, his comments prompted mixed responses across the XRP community. Some users viewed his projections as ambitious, while others said BlackRock’s involvement could attract institutional liquidity at a much larger scale. The exchange reflected increasing interest in how major asset managers might influence future crypto product expansion.
Additionally, Skipper XRPL warned that institutions often move before retail investors during market shifts. He suggested that a spot XRP ETF from BlackRock could draw attention from large funds. His message highlighted concerns among retail traders about missing potential opportunities if BlackRock were to advance into the XRP market.

Meanwhile, another known voice within the crypto community, Kenny Nguyen, alerted that Robinhood has listed $1.6 trillion AUM Franklin Templeton’s Spot XRP ETF alongside Grayscale’s Spot XRP ETF for trading. He also reminded that the launch on the New York Stock Exchange was set to begin shortly.
His update intensified discussions as users linked the new listings to broader expectations surrounding institutional involvement and the possibility of BlackRock eventually joining the XRP ETF landscape.
