The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved ProShares Trust’s XRP futures ETFs, set to be publicly listed on April 30, 2025. These ETFs include leveraged and inverse products, allowing investors to gain exposure to XRP’s price movements without directly holding the cryptocurrency. This development follows a favorable court ruling in March 2025, which clarified that retail trading of XRP does not constitute securities, thereby enhancing XRP’s regulatory standing. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse anticipates the launch of a spot XRP ETF by the end of 2025, citing over a dozen applications from firms like Bitwise and Franklin Templeton awaiting SEC approval. The potential approval of a spot XRP ETF is expected to further legitimize XRP as a mainstream asset and attract increased institutional investment.
