- Crypto analyst Zach Rector outlines key economic, geopolitical, and regulatory events—like the launch of XRP ETFs and potential Fed rate cuts—that could signal a major shift in market sentiment.

Crypto analyst Zach Rector has unveiled a highly anticipated XRP timeline that’s stirring buzz across the digital asset community. Shared on X (formerly Twitter), the timeline highlights a series of macroeconomic and regulatory milestones set to unfold from late April through the summer—each of which could serve as a catalyst for XRP and the broader crypto market.

Rector kicks off his forecast with an April 24 mineral rights deal in Ukraine, signaling geopolitical undercurrents that may ripple across global markets. However, the real momentum appears to gather on April 30. That day, the U.S. is set to release its Q1 2025 GDP data and see the debut of three ProShares XRP ETFs, marking a significant leap forward in institutional accessibility.
Just a week later, the Federal Reserve’s interest rate decision on May 7—and April’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) data on May 13—are expected to offer further clarity on inflation and economic stability. Looking ahead to June 18, the Fed is projected to announce another rate decision, with a potential rate cut on the table.
Rector underscores how these developments could align with a legal resolution in the long-running SEC vs. Ripple case. Though a concrete timeline remains elusive, he believes a decision is near. He also anticipates regulatory clarity around stablecoins by August and hints at more XRP ETFs joining the market.
This collection of milestones—ranging from economic data to legal rulings and geopolitical shifts—forms what Rector describes as a confluence that could end the era of “maximum uncertainty and fear.” In its place, he envisions a “risk-on” environment where investor sentiment shifts positively and capital flows return to digital assets like XRP.
For those tracking XRP closely, these next few months may prove pivotal. As institutional doors open wider and regulatory fog begins to clear, XRP could be poised for a breakout—if the stars align.
As Rector puts it, now might be the time to “lock in” before the tide turns.
