According to James Seyffart, an ETF specialist with Bloomberg, the U.S. SEC has until mid-October for the final decision deadline for the spot XRP ETFs. However, Seyffart highlighted that the commission may not take all the time until the fourth quarter to issue final decisions for the spot XRP ETFs.
Moreover, the U.S. SEC approved the first ever XRP futures ETF by ProShares earlier this week, with the launch date anticipated in the near term. Additionally, the Donald Trump administration has remained pro-crypto to bolster the country’s wider economic plan.
