XRP analyst SMQKE says the next big leg up for the token won’t be driven by hype — it will be powered by real utility.
Speaking on X, the popular XRP commentator argued that past parabolic rallies were largely speculative events: short, dramatic runs driven by token dynamics and market frenzy rather than adoption, ETFs, or regulatory clarity. Those episodes repeatedly surprised retail traders and even attracted institutional attention because XRP has historically been capable of rapid outperformance. But SMQKE believes the market is shifting. The next explosive moves, he says, will be underpinned by tangible use cases — notably tokenization — making the rallies both stronger and more sustainable than previous speculation-led spikes.
A concrete signal for that shift, according to SMQKE, is the revelation that Fireblocks is among firms participating in the DTCC’s tokenization initiative. Fireblocks — which reportedly supports both XRP and XLM in its custody and settlement stack — could provide a clear integration path for those ledgers into DTCC-related tokenization workflows, offering practical utility beyond purely speculative interest.
Technical picture: CasiTrades outlines three near-term scenarios
Crypto analyst CasiTrades weighed in on price action and structure, noting XRP is currently defending the macro .786 support at roughly $1.09. She says the ABC corrective pattern remains intact, but the C-wave target has been trimmed to about $1.24 after the B-wave pulled deeper into the local .618 retracement.
She’s watching for one of three outcomes:
- A clean ABC correction toward the $1.24 area.
- A more complex ABCDE consolidation that could cap relief around $1.185.
- A decisive breakout above resistance at $1.30, which would negate the bearish alternative.
If resistance holds, CasiTrades cautions the larger downside scenario — an extension toward about $0.90 — would remain on the table.
Market snapshot
At the time of writing, XRP is trading around $1.11, up on the day, according to CoinMarketCap.
Bottom line
SMQKE’s thesis frames XRP’s next major rallies as utility-led — with tokenization and institutional plumbing like Fireblocks/DTCC integrations as possible catalysts — while technical analysts like CasiTrades highlight several plausible price paths that will determine whether that utility narrative translates into sustained upside.
