The buzz around XRP is growing, with speculation about an XRP-focused Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) heating up.

Bitwise’s Bold Move: In October 2024, Bitwise filed for the first spot XRP ETF following Ripple’s partial victory against the SEC, marking a step toward regulated exposure to XRP.

Ripple’s Optimism: CEO Brad Garlinghouse called an ETF the “logical next step” for XRP, signaling its potential to attract institutional investors.

Political Tailwinds: President Trump’s pro-crypto stance and expected changes in SEC leadership could ease the path for crypto ETFs.

Ripple’s Preparation: Ripple is actively hiring to expand institutional DeFi offerings, laying groundwork for future ETF possibilities.

An XRP ETF could legitimize XRP in traditional finance, open doors for institutional investment, and inspire other altcoin ETFs. With the crypto world watching, 2025 could be a defining year for XRP and the digital asset market.
