- Steingraber predicts XRP could surge from $2 to $10 in under a year, arguing that ETF-driven supply tightening.
Crypto analyst Chad Steingraber has sparked fresh discussion in the XRP community after suggesting that the digital asset could climb from roughly $2 to $10 in under a year. The remark followed his latest breakdown of ETF inflows and trading activity, which continue to show accelerating institutional demand.
Over 500 Million XRP Absorbed Into ETFs in Under a Month
Steingraber shared updated estimates indicating that the Bitwise 10 Crypto Index ETF (BITW) now holds approximately 30.7 million XRP. According to his compiled figures, total XRP absorbed into ETF assets under management has reached 506,067,267 XRP, despite the products being live for less than one month.
He noted that the Bitwise Index fund began the day with $1.25 billion in total AUM, with XRP representing 5.16% of the fund. This continued inflow, he said, reflects growing institutional positioning in XRP as ETF issuers ramp up their holdings to meet demand.
Strong Tuesday Trading: Up to 10 Million XRP Expected to Be Accumulated
A follow-up update from Steingraber highlighted another strong trading session across XRP ETF products.
According to him, Tuesday saw $32.81 million in combined trading volume, with leading issuers such as Franklin Templeton, Canary Capital, Bitwise, REX-Osprey, and Grayscale recording multi-million-dollar activity.

Based on the day’s volume profile, Steingraber estimated that an additional 5–10 million XRP would likely be absorbed by ETFs on that single day.
A screenshot shared with the post showed Franklin Templeton leading the session at $9.05 million in volume, followed by Canary Capital with $7.12 million and Bitwise with $6.56 million.
XRP Could Hit $10 Faster Than Bitcoin Doubled Post-ETF Launch
In response to a community remark that Bitcoin took two years to double from $60,000 to $120,000 after the launch of its ETFs, Steingraber stated that XRP’s trajectory could be far quicker.
“And it’s gonna be less than a year for XRP to go from $2 to $10,” Steingraber wrote. A move from $2 to $10 would represent a 400% surge, driven, in his view, by continuing ETF inflows and expanding institutional demand.

Institutional Momentum Continues to Build
With more than half a billion XRP already locked into ETF products and daily volumes rising, analysts argue that structural demand is beginning to reshape XRP’s market dynamics. ETF issuers must continuously acquire XRP to match inflows, tightening available supply on exchanges.
For Steingraber and others monitoring these flows, this accumulation trend is setting the stage for a potential major repricing event in 2026. Whether XRP reaches the ambitious $10 target remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: institutional interest in the asset is rising at its fastest pace in years.
