This provides a comprehensive overview of the competitive field for XRP-based investment products. $XRP ETFS Waiting SEC Final Decision Bitwise ETP is live, and it holds 109,812,107 XRP in Cold Storage Ill let you do the math when we have 18+ Spot ETFS Live pic.twitter.com/ATXKVPEzO7 — Ripple Van Winkle | Crypto Researcher (@RipBullWinkle) May 28, 2025 The Current State of XRP Spot ETFs Several major asset managers, including Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, WisdomTree, CoinShares, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton, have submitted filings for spot XRP ETFs. Most filings were acknowledged by the SEC in February 2025, with final decision deadlines set for October 2025. The exchanges involved include Cboe, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca, and Cboe BZX, reflecting broad institutional interest in launching XRP-based products. Bitwise stands out as the first to file for a spot XRP ETF, having been acknowledged by the SEC in February. Van Winkle also drew attention to Bitwise’s ETP, which is already live, and holds over 109 million XRP in cold storage. Referencing this figure, Van Winkle invited his followers to consider the potential impact once over 18 spot XRP ETFs are live. XRP is an attractive asset to institutions , and the launch of all these products could bring a significant increase in institutional holdings and market activities, potentially sending the asset’s price up.

The presence of established firms such as Grayscale and Franklin Templeton, alongside newer entrants, points to a competitive race to capture early market share. Several applications also propose innovative structures, such as including XRP among multiple digital assets within broader ETF offerings. 21Shares filed to list its Core XRP Trust shares on the Cboe BZX Exchange in November, and Grayscale followed suit in January, applying to convert its XRP Trust into a spot ETF . Grayscale’s filing has the closest deadline at October 18, and Franklin Templeton, WisdomTree, and CoinShares have the farthest, at October 25. However, many market participants are convinced that the SEC will approve these products earlier. One commenter argued that the commission has no excuse for delaying approval, and Polymarket recently raised the likelihood of XRP ETF approval to 85% , reflecting the confidence of the community. As the deadlines approach, all eyes are on the SEC to see if XRP will finally join the ETF ranks in the U.S. Disclaimer : This content is meant to inform and should not be considered financial advice.
