Official Position: BlackRock has stated through a spokesperson that it currently has no plans to file for a spot XRP ETF (or a Solana ETF).
Reason: According to the company, there is “low demand” for crypto ETFs beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
Market Context:
The Ripple–SEC lawsuit has officially concluded, and XRP is not classified as a security.
This legal clarity has led some experts—like Nate Geraci (ETF Store President)—to suggest that BlackRock could eventually file for an XRP ETF if market conditions and demand improve.
Other asset managers (Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, Grayscale) have already filed for spot XRP ETFs, with SEC decisions expected by Q4 2025.
Investor Impact: Following BlackRock’s “no plans” statement, XRP’s price dipped slightly, and prediction market odds for an ETF approval dropped from ~89% to ~78%.
Bottom line:
BlackRock has not filed—and is not currently planning to file—for an XRP ETF. Any claims that a filing will happen “soon” are speculative and not based on an official announcement.
