XRP ETFs: A Possibility on the Horizon?**
The launch of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs has sparked speculation about XRP-focused funds. XRP, Ripple’s cryptocurrency, gained momentum after a pivotal 2023 court ruling that deemed it *not a security* in retail sales, easing regulatory fears. However, the SEC’s ongoing lawsuit against Ripple (since 2020) and broader crypto regulatory ambiguity remain hurdles.
Institutional interest is rising: Ripple’s partnerships with financial institutions highlight XRP’s utility in cross-border payments, potentially attracting ETF issuers. While no formal applications exist yet, analysts suggest asset managers like BlackRock or Grayscale could lead the charge post-regulatory clarity.
A spot XRP ETF seems plausible by 2025, contingent on legal resolutions and SEC sentiment. For now, optimism is cautious but growing.
