🚨 Spot $XRP ETF Incoming? Expert Says It’s ‘Only a Matter of Time’ as CME Futures Launch 📈📊
📢 Market expert Nate Geraci says spot XRP ETFs are inevitable, now that CME XRP futures are live. This means XRP has CFTC-regulated contracts, boosting the odds of SEC approval — especially after the Grayscale ruling set a precedent for spot ETF approvals.
🧠 According to the court’s logic, if a regulated futures market exists, the SEC can’t reject a spot ETF due to manipulation concerns. With CME XRP and Micro XRP futures officially trading today, the momentum is building.
🗳️ On Polymarket, traders are betting big — with an 83% chance of XRP spot ETF approval in 2025. Bloomberg analysts Balchunas and Seyffart go even further, placing the odds at 85%.
🏛️ Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse called the CME launch a major institutional milestone, adding that their prime broker Hidden Road cleared the first block trade at launch.
⚖️ However, the SEC lawsuit is still ongoing. Legal experts warn that it could delay the ETF, but the pressure is mounting as asset managers like Grayscale, Bitwise, WisdomTree, and others line up with filings.
