$BTC The conversation surrounding cryptocurrency exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continues to surprise the daily cryptocurrency market, and this time, XRP seems to be the center of attention. At the recent XRP Las Vegas event, Matt Hougan, Chief Investment Officer at Bitwise Asset Management, shared his views on how the market may soon witness an XRP ETF.

Investors are looking for more than just Bitcoin

Speaking at the event, Hougan explained how ETFs have become the top choice for crypto-friendly investors seeking easy and regulated access to digital assets. So far, Bitcoin ETFs have led the way, but attention is now shifting to other popular tokens like XRP and Solana.

When asked when these new ETFs might launch, Hougan stated that he could not comment on specific filings but subtly hinted that the industry is making steady progress.
