Recently, there has been a stir in the community, with social media wildly spreading that 'BlackRock is secretly preparing an XRP ETF,' and some clickbait titles directly say: 'BlackRock may invest $9 trillion!' - Is this really reliable?

Let's start with some hardcore facts:

BlackRock has never submitted an XRP ETF application; the 'trust document from April 2025' that is circulating has been confirmed as a forgery.

Larry Fink, the leader of BlackRock, has never publicly discussed XRP; he has expressed optimism about Bitcoin's target of $700,000 but has remained silent on XRP, which is ambiguous.

ETF officials have made it clear: they have not invested in any altcoins, focusing instead on Bitcoin and ETH, which are recognized by regulators.

Current holdings situation at BlackRock:

Market value of holding Bitcoin: $39.33 billion

Market value of holding ETH: $4.18 billion

→ All revolve around the premise that 'regulation has already been clarified.'

And what about XRP? It is still in a tug-of-war with the US SEC, and its regulatory status is ambiguous, which is a 'red light warning' for major institutions that emphasize compliance.

So why is everyone still speculating?

Because the 'XRP ETF' itself is an imaginative script.

If the Ripple case wins, XRP may welcome a comprehensive unblocking, at which point ETF applications may be possible.

Nate Geraci, president of ETF Store, once said:

As long as the regulatory issues are resolved, the XRP ETF will eventually go up.

But! Don't forget the voices from another camp:

Vandell from Black Swan Capitalist warns:

The true value of XRP lies in its practicality, while the ETF is merely a Wall Street version of an alternative; retail investors should beware of being cut off.

He emphasizes that cross-border payments, staking rewards, and on-chain liquidity are native utilities that ETFs cannot provide.

To summarize:

BlackRock is not working on an XRP ETF.

The so-called '9 trillion investment' actually refers to BlackRock's total assets, unrelated to XRP.

Is it possible in the future? Yes, but not now!

The true value of XRP is not grasped by Wall Street, but by those who understand why it exists.

Brothers, don't be led by the rhythm, and don't fall for FOMO. Understand this principle:

Owning XRP is more important than holding a 'shadow of XRP's price.'
