#XRPETFs As of Tuesday, April 29, 2025, there are several developments regarding XRP ETFs:
Approved Futures ETFs:
* The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved three futures-based XRP ETFs from ProShares. These are:
* Ultra XRP ETF (2x long)
* Short XRP ETF (1x short)
* Ultra Short XRP ETF (2x short)
* These ETFs are based on XRP futures contracts and will allow investors to gain exposure to XRP's price movements without directly holding the token.
* ProShares is expected to launch these ETFs on April 30, 2025.
* Teucrium Investment Advisors LLC launched the first XRP ETF in the U.S., the Teucrium 2x Long Daily XRP ETF (XXRP), on April 8, 2025. This ETF also offers leveraged exposure to XRP futures.
Pending Spot ETF Applications:

* Bitwise
* 21Shares
* WisdomTree
* Canary Capital
* ProShares (separate from their futures ETFs)
* CoinShares
* Grayscale (to convert its existing XRP Trust into an ETF)
* Volatility Shares
* Franklin Templeton
* Tuttle Capital Management
* The SEC is still reviewing these applications, and the final deadlines for decisions are expected around mid-October 2025.
* Market analysts suggest that the likelihood of spot XRP ETF approval is relatively high compared to other altcoins.
XRP Spot ETF in Brazil:
* Hashdex launched the first XRP spot ETF in Brazil on the B3 stock exchange.
Key Points:
* The approval of futures ETFs is seen as a positive step towards broader institutional adoption of XRP and could potentially pave the way for spot XRP ETFs in the future.
* The launch of XRP ETFs, both futures and potential spot products, offers investors regulated ways to gain exposure to XRP's price movements.
* You will likely need to use a trading platform or brokerage that supports crypto ETFs, such as Fidelity, Robinhood, Vanguard, and TD Ameritrade, to buy shares of these ETFs once they are available.
