BlackRock meets SEC: Why this meeting is also a strong signal for XRP

On May 9, 2025, a high-profile meeting took place between BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, and the SEC (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission). Officially, it was about spot ETFs, staking rules, and tokenization. But between the lines, one recognizes a much larger movement – and it also directly concerns XRP.

What happened?

BlackRock presented several projects to the SEC:

  • the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT)

  • the new iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA)

  • and the digital money market fund BUIDL, which operates on the blockchain.

Discussed were:

  • Regulation of staking products

  • Tokenization of traditional assets

  • Approval of more crypto ETFs

  • Future options on crypto ETPs

This means: The door for more ETFs is open – also for altcoins with regulatory backing and a concrete use case.

What does this have to do with XRP?

XRP is today one of the few digital assets that have a real application in the financial system – not as a speculative object, but as a bridge currency between banks, payment service providers, and CBDCs.

If the crypto ETF market is expanded through regulatory clarity, the following points are crucial:

  1. Ripple has effectively survived the SEC proceedings – the legal framework is there.

  2. XRP is not a security (in the USA) – a key for ETF approval.

  3. RippleNet is being rolled out globally – real demand for XRP is emerging.

  4. BlackRock is positioning itself not only with Bitcoin and Ethereum – but with everything that is relevant to the financial system.

Conclusion: If the SEC opens its stance on crypto ETPs, XRP is a logical next candidate – especially as an 'infrastructure-driven' coin with a real use case. The meeting shows: Institutions are pushing into the market – and XRP is in the starting position.

What you should understand now

  • This BlackRock-SEC meeting was no coincidence.

  • It shows that regulated financial products based on blockchain are now politically and economically desired.

  • XRP is ready for this step: legally, technologically, and strategically.
