Potential date for approval of the XRP exchange-traded fund: October 2025

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is expected to issue its decision on the XRP exchange-traded fund by October 18, 2025. Although the review of the Franklin Templeton application has been postponed to June 17, forecasts indicate a likelihood of approval in the fourth quarter of 2025, with a probability of up to 78% according to the Polymarket platform. Brazil's launch of the world's first XRP fund could expedite the U.S. decision.
