Get Ready! XRP ETFs Might Just Be Around the Corner – Is the SEC Shaking Yet?

Hold on to your hats, folks! Nate Geraci, the guru of ETFs, has boldly predicted that the first XRP ETFs could be launching in just TWO weeks. Yes, you heard that right-two weeks. I can barely decide what to have for lunch in that time, but here we are. 🤷‍♀️

Meanwhile, Canary Capital, because why not add another filing to their already impressive resume, has updated its S-1 filing for a spot Solana ETF. So, that’s happening. Meanwhile, over at Bitwise, their fourth S‑1 amendment added a tiny 0.34% fee, and-hold your applause-an NYSE listing. Oh, and guess what? Experts are suddenly whispering that XRP might actually be getting closer to its big debut. Let’s call it the “calm before the storm,” shall we? 🌪️

Oh, and guess who’s joining the XRP ETF race? Only the usual suspects: Grayscale Investments, 21Shares, WisdomTree, CoinShares, and drumroll please Franklin Templeton. (You know, the financial giants who don’t need to work on their marketing because they already own your 401(k).) 😎

But hold your applause, because BlackRock and Fidelity are sitting this one out. They’re over there like, “Nah, we’re good with our Solana-based product,” sipping their iced lattes while the XRP race heats up. 🧊☕

Meanwhile, the REX/Osprey XRP product, which has already surpassed $100 million in assets (because of course it has), is claiming it gives you “spot exposure” to XRP. Sounds fancy, right? But, it doesn’t hold the underlying asset like the soon-to-be-launched US funds. So, is it the real deal or just a glorified snack? 🤔

“Final Nail in the Coffin”-Geraci’s Prediction

And then there’s Geraci, the ETF prophet, who is convinced that the launch of the spot XRP ETF is going to be “the final nail in the coffin” for anti-crypto regulators. I mean, is there a coffin, a hammer, or just a metaphor here? Only time will tell! 💀

Geraci also reminded us that the SEC was actually fighting Ripple not too long ago. Can you believe it? The SEC was in a legal tug-of-war with Ripple until just a few months ago. But in a plot twist worthy of a Netflix show, Ripple dropped its cross-appeal in July, and by August, the two parties decided to wave the white flag and dismiss their appeals. Talk about a dramatic finale. 🎬

In August, the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit officially sealed the deal and closed the case. So now we’re left waiting for XRP’s big moment. Will it be worth the wait? Only the ETF gods know. ⏳
