Coinbase's TAS for XRP Futures Shifts Price Prediction to Bullish

Coinbase's introduction of Trade at Settlement (TAS) for XRP futures has sparked a surge in price prediction expectations, shifting decisively bullish for May 2026. The feature allows institutional desks to execute large block orders at the 4:00 PM settlement price, reducing intraday price swings and making it more attractive to investors.

As a result of this development, XRP is expected to reach $1.80-$2.15 in May, according to analysts. This prediction comes on the heels of the GraniteShares 3x Long and 3x Short XRP ETFs launching on May 7 and Senator Cynthia Lummis' announcement that the CLARITY Act markup will take place in May.

The Pepeto token is also gaining attention, with a presale raise of $9.66 million and a potential 100x return on investment. The team behind Pepeto has implemented a number of innovative features, including an exchange that clears every swap at zero cost and an on-chain bridge that moves tokens across various blockchains.
