$XRP

Speculation about the approval of a spot XRP ETF has been buzzing across crypto social media following a high-profile dinner meeting between Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse and President-elect Donald Trump.

Many industry watchers see Ripple (XRP) as a strong contender for ETF approval, with Garlinghouse himself hinting that XRP could be next in line.

However, many regulatory hurdles remain.

Ongoing legal battles with the SEC over the classification of certain crypto assets could delay the launch of a spot XRP ETF.
