‘XRP’s Path Isn’t to Follow Bitcoin’: Analyst Details Decoupling Thesis

• Ripple Prime, Palisade and a Nov 13 XRP ETF lane give XRP its own capital path outside Bitcoin.
• U.S. legal clarity and 2025 acquisitions turn XRPL into infrastructure, not a speculative side-trade.
• Correlation with BTC is still high in 2025, but a second demand curve is now visible.

The XRP price story is shifting from speculation to infrastructure. At around $2.26 today, XRP still trades inside a market led by Bitcoin at about $104,000, yet new U.S.-based products now let institutions buy, settle, and custody XRP without touching BTC first.
