The outlook surrounding XRP continues to evolve as community figures assess the sequence of events they believe are shaping its trajectory. A recent post from crypto trader and tech enthusiast, TheXRPguy, outlined what he identifies as a structured progression toward broader market validation. His remarks focus on key developments already achieved within the XRP ecosystem and the significant milestone still pending: potential approval of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF). The tone of his message reflects conviction that XRP is approaching a decisive stage, yet reactions within the community show that confidence is not universal. BREAKING We are now at phase 8 of #XRP rise to dominance. 1. RLUSD is released. 2. Trumps inauguration. 3. Gary offically leaves SEC. 4. XRP Strategic Reserve 5. Ripple case ends 6. Alt season 7. Ripple name big bank partnership. 8. XRP ETF approval.… — TheXRPguy (@TheXRP_guy) October 14, 2025 Completed Milestones: Foundation for Broader Recognition According to TheXRPguy, several critical conditions have already been fulfilled in XRP’s ongoing development. He points first to the release of RLUSD , Ripple’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, which entered the market with the intention of strengthening transactional utility and institutional trust. He follows this with references to external political and regulatory developments, noting the inauguration of President Donald Trump and the confirmed departure of Gary Gensler from the SEC. Some see these events in the XRP community as contributing indirectly to a more favorable regulatory climate for digital assets. Further, he highlights the establishment of what is described as an XRP strategic reserve, suggesting structured holdings designed to support liquidity and manage long-term distribution. He also cites the conclusion of Ripple’s legal case against the SEC , which delivered clarity on the status of XRP and ended a prolonged period of uncertainty. In his view, these developments set the stage for wider market confidence. The trader additionally refers to the onset of altcoin market momentum, indicating that broader market conditions are aligning with internal progress. Major Partnership and the Final Phase Among the achievements listed, the confirmation of a major financial partnership involving Ripple is emphasized as a key point. For many community observers, partnerships with established banking or financial institutions represent significant validation of XRP’s intended utility in cross-border transactions. This acknowledgment plays into the belief that institutional integration is essential before any formal financial product, such as an ETF, could be introduced. The final point identified in his sequence is the anticipated approval of an XRP ETF. This is framed as the last remaining component in what he describes as “phase eight” of XRP’s rise. The implication is that, should such an ETF be granted, it would mark a new stage of accessibility and recognition by traditional financial markets.

One user replied critically, referencing repeated assurances made during previous milestones that failed to coincide with substantial market movement. Their remarks reflect a broader sentiment shared by certain long-term holders who have grown skeptical of optimistic forecasts tied to key events. With the legal and infrastructural foundations now in place, attention has shifted to whether traditional financial markets will formally acknowledge XRP through a regulated ETF product. The coming period may prove decisive in testing whether the milestones cited thus far will translate into measurable adoption and market impact. While supporters of TheXRPguy’s framework view the pending ETF decision as a coming achievement, others remain cautious in their expectations until clear results materialize.
