Institutional demand for an XRP ETF surges as major firms like Bitwise and 21Shares file applications, fueling speculation of approval.
New SEC leadership and shifting regulations could pave the way for XRP ETF approval, potentially driving a price surge by 2025.
As Bitcoin and Ethereum lead the charge with spot ETFs, XRP may be the next cryptocurrency to follow suit. With increasing institutional interest and a growing number of asset managers filing ETF applications, the buzz around an XRP ETF is intensifying. Adding to the speculation is the emergence of new SEC leadership, which could influence the approval process.ย
While no official timeline has been set, rumors suggest that XRPโs ETF could be approved by the end of 2025, especially with Paul Atkins, the crypto-friendly SEC chair under the Trump administration. His return could pave the way for a more favorable regulatory environment for digital assets.
The timeline for an XRP ETF depends on regulatory factors, especially the stance of the SEC under its new leadership. However, attorney Jeremy Hogan suggests that the ongoing legal case involving XRP may be resolved before the SEC approves any ETFs. He also wrote,
“Not because it has to happen in that order, but because the ETFs will just take longer to dot the i’s and cross the t’s.”

Regulatory Changes and SEC Leadership Could Influence Approval
XRPโs large market capitalization and shifting legal outlook after years of regulatory contention have made it a strong candidate for ETF approval. Major firms like Bitwise, Canary Capital, 21Shares, and WisdomTree have all filed for an XRP ETF in recent months, signaling growing institutional optimism.
Historically, ETF approvals have led to price rallies, with Bitcoin’s price surging after the launch of its Futures ETF. Experts predict that an XRP ETF could spark a similar surge in demand, bringing new liquidity and possibly increasing the value of XRP.
