A wave of speculation about the possibility of a BlackRock-backed XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) has surged on X, following claims that such a move could propel the XRP price to $100 almost instantly. The discussions were sparked by crypto influencer XRPMoonWalk, who referenced possible key dates and linked the scenario to ongoing speculative theories within the XRP community.
XRP enthusiast ties ETF filing to $100 price target
In a recent post on X, XRPMoonWalk asserted that an XRP spot ETF filing by BlackRock “today or tomorrow” may trigger a rapid price increase for XRP, setting a $100 target. The influencer mentioned a 35-hour window for this alleged development, while acknowledging the speculative nature of the claim.
XRPMoonWalk also cited another X user, Seer, whose post referenced “XRP Mr Pool: $100 9/5.” This statement appears to draw a connection between the $100 price target, the date September 5, and cryptic messages from an account known as Mr Pool. For many in the XRP community, Mr Pool is notable for cryptically posting dates and symbols that followers try to interpret as predictions related to XRP or broader market movements.
Despite the attention these posts receive, no concrete evidence exists that Mr Pool or similar influencers possess insider knowledge about XRP’s future or upcoming ETF applications.

Key dates and community speculation
Within the same discussion, XRPMoonWalk remarked that if no official development takes place on September 5, another significant event could happen on September 11. These dates have circulated within the speculative corners of the XRP community, with figures like Bearableguy also frequently referenced as supposed sources of insider predictions.
The influencer emphasized that these ideas remain personal beliefs, not established facts. XRPMoonWalk suggested that BlackRock may have already submitted an application for an XRP ETF but could withhold a public announcement for now. However, there is no verifiable proof of such an application or any deliberate delay in its disclosure.
Within the XRP community, numerous users continue to parse cryptic messages and theorize about dramatic price action, yet there is no confirmed evidence supporting the existence or concealment of a BlackRock XRP ETF filing.
BlackRock’s current stance on XRP ETF products
BlackRock, recognized as the world’s largest asset management company, plays a leading role in the development of digital asset ETFs, having already launched both Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETF products. However, the firm’s potential involvement with an XRP ETF remains unsubstantiated and is based entirely on online speculation.
CoinMarketCap recently reported that several firms, including Grayscale, Bitwise, Canary, CoinShares, Franklin, 21Shares, and WisdomTree, have amended their XRP ETF applications. BlackRock has not appeared among these asset managers in any capacity related to an XRP ETF filing.

|---|---|
| Grayscale | Amended filing |
| Bitwise | Amended filing |
| CoinShares | Amended filing |
| BlackRock | No filing |
Earlier industry reports have also indicated that BlackRock does not have any publicly-disclosed plans to launch a U.S. spot XRP ETF at this time, despite persistent rumors and calls for such a product among XRP holders.
The assertion that a BlackRock ETF application could send XRP to $100 remains highly speculative, as there is currently no indication from the company or market regulators that such a move is imminent.
The latest round of predictions and referenced dates within the XRP community are speculative and not based on official announcements or verifiable information from BlackRock or regulatory authorities.
