An expert has predicted that the approval of the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) for XRP futures will pave the way for a spot ETF. He believes this could potentially channel $100 billion into XRP.
This prediction comes after the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved ProShares' XRP futures ETF.
XRP Futures ETF Approved: Is a Spot ETF Next?
According to the official document, ProShares will launch three futures-based ETFs: the Ultra XRP ETF, the Short XRP ETF, and the Ultra Short XRP ETF. These will start trading on April 30. This development follows the launch of Teucrium's 2x Long Daily XRP ETF earlier in April.
Although it is not a spot ETF, the approval has generated optimism among XRP investors. Industry expert Armando Pantoja forecasts that this move could lead to substantial capital inflow into the altcoin.
“A spot ETF for XRP could be next, unlocking real demand and causing prices to skyrocket. More than $100 billion could soon flood into XRP,” he wrote.
Pantoja highlighted that the approval marks a significant turning point for the cryptocurrency, as it now attracts substantial attention from Wall Street and institutional investors. With this move, XRP gains a regulated and accessible pathway for major financial players to engage with the asset.
This development expands XRP's investor base. Additionally, it affirms its legitimacy in the mainstream, positioning it within what he called the “elite league” of financial assets.
The analyst also drew parallels between XRP and the trajectories of Bitcoin BTCUSD and Ethereum ETHUSD. He noted that futures ETFs were approved first for both cryptocurrencies, followed by spot ETFs.
