As of Sunday, April 27, 2025, the situation regarding XRP ETFs is evolving, with significant developments in the United States and globally:

**Key Developments:**

* **Brazil Launches First Spot XRP ETF**: The Brazil B3 Stock Exchange launched the world's first spot XRP ETF on April 25, 2025, with the stock symbol **XRPH11**, marking a groundbreaking initiative. This ETF is managed by Hashdex and overseen by Genial Investimentos, tracking the Nasdaq XRP Reference Price Index, and investing at least 95% of its net assets in XRP. This represents an important milestone for XRP, providing Brazilian investors with regulated and secure access.

* **ProShares to Launch XRP Futures ETFs in the U.S.:** ProShares will launch three XRP futures ETFs on **Wednesday, April 30, 2025**. These ETFs (UltraShort XRP ETF, Ultra XRP ETF, and Short XRP ETF) will offer U.S. investors the opportunity to understand XRP price trends without directly holding it. While futures ETFs are different from spot ETFs, they indicate that regulators are increasingly accepting XRP as an asset class.

* **U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Still Reviewing Spot XRP ETF Applications:** Despite the positive developments in Brazil and the upcoming U.S. futures ETFs, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has not yet approved any spot XRP ETFs. Applications from companies like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton are under review.

* **Optimism for Approval of U.S. Spot XRP ETF:** Following Ripple's partial victory in its lawsuit against the SEC and the subsequent abandonment of the appeal by the SEC, there is growing optimism about the eventual approval of a spot XRP ETF in the U.S. Bloomberg ETF analysts have noted that the approval of spot Solana and XRP ETFs in the U.S. seems “inevitable.”

* **BlackRock's Position:** Although other companies have applied for spot XRP ETFs in the U.S., the world's largest asset management firm, BlackRock, has yet to take such action. Analysts suggest they might wait for ongoing institutional demand and further regulatory clarity before entering the XRP ETF market.

* **Potential Market Impact:** Analysts predict that the approval of spot XRP ETFs in major markets like the U.S. could attract a significant influx of capital, potentially driving up the price of XRP.
