The outlook for an XRP ETF in the U.S. is quickly becoming clearer. Bitwise Asset Management has filed a formal application with the SEC to launch an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that offers direct exposure to XRP. This initiative follows the approval of Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs and could mark a milestone for the institutional adoption of XRP.

The SEC has acknowledged Bitwise's application, initiating a review process that includes a public comment period and a final decision within up to 240 days. Additionally, other firms like Grayscale, 21Shares, and WisdomTree have also submitted similar applications, indicating growing institutional interest in XRP.

Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, has stated that an XRP ETF is "inevitable," highlighting the increasing demand for financial products that offer exposure to cryptocurrencies beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.

In the market, XRP has shown positive performance in 2025, with a 5.3% increase, while Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced losses. This performance, along with institutional interest, could strengthen XRP's position in the crypto ecosystem.

The approval of an XRP ETF could attract up to $8 billion in capital inflows in its first year, according to estimates from JPMorgan. This would further consolidate XRP's presence in traditional financial markets.
