#XRPETF
The current market lacks a new narrative, and XRP ETF news can temporarily stimulate market sentiment, especially among XRP holders.
•Potential Expectations:
If it really moves to the application stage, even if the probability of approval is low, it can enhance Ripple and XRP's visibility in the traditional financial sector.
Limitations and Issues, Implementation Difficulties:
Right now, even the ETH spot ETF is undecided; for XRP to have an ETF, it will have to wait at least six months to a year after ETH's success.
•Evident Capital Siphoning Effect:
BTC and ETH have almost siphoned off the vast majority of the spot ETF capital flow; even if XRP ETF is approved in the future, the actual incremental funds that can flow in are very limited, unless Ripple can present larger-scale application scenarios and cooperation (e.g., truly deep integration with Swift, Visa).
•SEC's Hostility:
The SEC has not officially recognized XRP as a non-security asset, and even if the court has ruled on part of it, large institutions will not hastily support it until a complete settlement is reached.
Summary
Considering the current situation, #XRPETF seems more like a localized emotional speculation at the end of a bear market, which can provide short-term boosts but is unlikely to change the overall market's lukewarm state.
•Short-term: If someone is wildly speculating on XRP using the #XRPETF topic, be cautious and do not get carried away by emotions.
•Medium-term: Pay attention to the actual progress of Ripple, such as whether cooperation projects with large financial institutions are expanding.
•Long-term: The true launch of the XRP ETF will require at least a period of successful operation of the Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs, along with a further easing of the U.S. policy environment.
