XRP may soon decouple from Bitcoin as banks and payment networks increasingly adopt it for real transactions, according to analysts. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse highlighted XRP's role in cross-border payments, emphasizing its potential as a bridge in global financial systems. The inclusion of XRP in Grayscale's Digital Large Cap Fund, launched on September 19, 2025, enhances its institutional visibility. Analysts from Black Swan Capitalist suggest that as demand for real settlements grows, XRP's price could become less correlated with Bitcoin. The increasing utility of XRP in payments and its adoption by institutions may support this shift, potentially leading to a more stable and independent price trajectory.
