The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved ProShares Trust's XRP Futures Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF), set to launch on April 30, 2025. This marks a significant milestone for XRP, providing institutional and retail investors with regulated exposure to the cryptocurrency through futures contracts.

It's important to note that this ETF is based on XRP futures, not the actual spot price of XRP. While this development is a step forward, the approval of a spot XRP ETF in the U.S. remains pending and is contingent upon the resolution of ongoing legal proceedings between Ripple Labs and the SEC.

Internationally, Brazil's B3 exchange recently launched XRPH11, the world's first spot XRP ETF, managed by Hashdex. This move has set a precedent and may influence future regulatory decisions in other jurisdictions.

As of now, XRP is trading at approximately $2.24. Market analysts suggest that the introduction of the futures-based ETF could enhance liquidity and attract new investors, potentially impacting XRP's price dynamics.
