With XRP futures contracts gaining momentum on the renowned CME Group, the odds of an imminent approval for a spot XRP ETF are rising sharply. Investor interest in these newly launched derivatives has been explosive, with $30 million in trading volume in the first three days alone — fueling fresh speculation that the SEC could approve an XRP ETF as early as June 17.
🔹 CME Launches XRP Futures – Market Turns Bullish
On May 19, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) launched its XRP futures, and the response was immediate. The contracts saw $19 million in volume on day one, followed by $10 million on day two. This surge sparked optimism across the XRP community, with many now expecting a breakthrough on the ETF front.
🔹 Polymarket: 83% Chance of XRP ETF in 2025 – But What About June?
On prediction market Polymarket, the likelihood of an XRP ETF being approved in 2025 has jumped to 83%. However, the chance of approval specifically by July remains at just 21%. Despite that, several analysts believe a major decision could come much earlier – possibly on June 17.
🔹 Bloomberg Analysts: Strong Odds for Approval
Respected Bloomberg analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have consistently forecast an 85% chance for XRP ETF approval. While Solana and Litecoin currently lead the ETF race with 90% odds, XRP isn't far behind.
Seyffart also pointed out that several XRP ETP applications are pending review in the coming days. If any are greenlit, the launch timeline could be late June or early July – or, more likely, in Q4 of this year.
🔹 Franklin Templeton’s Key Date: June 17
Crypto analyst Brett Crypto highlighted June 17, 2025, as a critical date for the SEC’s decision on Franklin Templeton’s spot XRP ETF application. This has become a focal point for investors and analysts alike, putting more pressure on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
🧠 Why Are Expectations Skyrocketing?
🔹 CME futures launch = institutional confidence
🔹 $30 million in trading volume within 3 days
🔹 Strong predictions from Polymarket and Bloomberg
🔹 SEC deadline approaching for Franklin Templeton’s filing
🔹 ETF Store president says: "Spot XRP ETFs are just a matter of time."
🔮 Could Ripple Be on the Verge of a Breakthrough?
If these predictions prove true, a spot XRP ETF could reshape the market not just for Ripple, but for altcoins in general. The entrance of institutional capital, combined with the success of CME’s futures, might be the next big step toward mainstream crypto adoption.
