📢 Here's Why October Will Be Critical for XRP
If you're an XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) holder or considering an investment, be sure to mark down the weeks of Oct. 13 and Oct. 20 on your calendar. That's when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) plan to rule on whether to approve multiple spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) ETF applications.
If the agency gives the go-ahead to one or more funds, XRP would join the crypto heavyweights Bitcoin and Ethereum in the U.S. spot-ETF club. Here's why that's an important development for this coin.
ETF approvals are seldom a ticket for a coin to go to the moon. For example, Ethereum's July 2024 ETF debut provides a useful comparison, as on day one, its U.S. spot ETFs drew in about $106 million of net inflows, which was solid, but well below what the hype had led investors to expect. Only in August 2025, more than a year later, did the Ethereum ETFs hit their largest single‑day intake of about $1 billion.
In other words, any XRP ETF approvals in October are unlikely to be a major catalyst on the day that it happens, but it's very likely to be a significant tailwind during the quarters that follow. Price appreciation might build gradually as issuers gather assets and retirement platforms make XRP ETFs available to their customers.
Investors who treat October as an opportunity for XRP's narrative to transition into a new phase will be well-positioned to navigate whatever comes next. If you're brave, it's probably worth bolstering your holdings in advance of this catalyst.
