Expert States Why XRP Is Decoupling from Bitcoin and Rest of Crypto
3 min read
Vincent Van Code, a software engineer and prominent figure within the XRP community, recently highlighted notable movements in the XRP market. Posting a chart that showed XRP gaining against USDT, BTC, and EUR while much of the broader crypto market remained flat or negative, Van Code observed a potential decoupling of XRP from Bitcoin. He suggested that this behavior was likely linked to the approval of an XRP ETF. In his post, Van Code noted that XRP’s independent movement was unusual. “Even XLM is not in sync anymore,” he remarked, pointing to the broader impact this approval might have beyond XRP itself. Ok. Now we see a decoupling of XRP from BTC and rest of crypto. Even XLM is not in sync anymore. Likely due to SEC approving first ETF. Wait until all are approved and trading kicks in. The lock up of XRP will be massive. pic.twitter.com/TWHO88rRYZ — Vincent Van Code (@vincent_vancode) April 27, 2025 The True Impact of XRP ETFs One community member clarified that the approved ETF was for futures, not spot trading, questioning its immediate significance. While multiple firms have applied for spot ETFs , the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has yet to approve any of these products. Van Code acknowledged this point but reiterated that the broader implication was more important than the specifics of the ETF itself. He argued that, while the futures ETF alone would not immediately generate massive trading volumes, the regulatory acceptance implied by its approval was critical. Van Code explained that the approval of ProShares futures ETF products , which is set to launch on April 30, is symbolic, as it shows the end of regulatory headwinds. He emphasized that the approval also signals a welcoming attitude from Wall Street toward XRP, suggesting its eventual integration into mainstream financial trading systems would validate the digital asset.

One user noted that previous instances of apparent decoupling from Bitcoin had not lasted, but remains hopeful that things will be different this time. Another commenter doubted the possibility of true independence from Bitcoin’s influence while crypto markets remain speculation-driven, stating, “We are tied to BTC unfortunately, and so far that hasn’t changed.” Van Code remains focused on the underlying shifts he sees taking place. If XRP becomes embedded within larger trading ecosystems as Van Code suggested, its trading patterns could diverge more permanently from Bitcoin. Additionally, he predicted a significant lock-up of XRP once more ETFs are approved and trading activity from institutional investors increases. Institutions are eyeing XRP , and a major market shift could occur soon. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
