📢 Could a BlackRock XRP ETF Be Next?

⚖️ With the Ripple vs. SEC case finally closed — affirming XRP is not a security in retail transactions — speculation is heating up.

💬 Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, believes BlackRock may soon file for an XRP ETF via its iShares platform, suggesting the asset manager had been waiting for legal clarity.

📢 This comes after both Ripple and the SEC jointly dismissed all remaining appeals, ending a legal battle that began in December 2020.

⚠️ Not everyone agrees:

▫️ Eric Balchunas (Bloomberg ETF Analyst) doubts a filing is imminent, citing diminishing returns beyond Bitcoin & Ethereum.

▫️ DC Investor warns issuers might avoid XRP ETFs to protect retail investors from potential losses in highly volatile assets.

💡 What’s certain is that the legal resolution gives U.S. exchanges & financial products far more freedom to list and integrate XRP.

⚡️ Meanwhile, Ripple is moving fast — announcing a $200M acquisition of Rail to strengthen stablecoin infrastructure for its RLUSD project.

📈 Whether or not BlackRock makes the move, the post-lawsuit landscape for XRP looks more open — and competitive — than it has in years.
