#XRPETFs XRP ETFs are gaining ground following the recent approval by the SEC of ProShares' XRP futures ETFs, which are set to launch on April 30. These futures-based ETFs will allow investors to gain exposure to fluctuations in the price of XRP without directly owning the token. This comes after the launch of the first XRP futures ETF by Teucrium in early April and Brazil's approval of the first spot XRP ETF.

While these developments indicate increasing regulatory acceptance and offer a regulated investment avenue, they differ from the more anticipated spot XRP ETFs, which would directly hold the underlying asset. Several applications for spot XRP ETFs are pending SEC approval, and final decisions are expected to be made around October 2025. The ongoing legal battle between Ripple and the SEC has been a key factor influencing the regulatory landscape for XRP ETFs.
