    Story Highlights
    • XRP Spot ETF approval odds rise to 83%, driven by institutional interest and support from major firms like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton.

    • Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse says ETFs can unlock institutional capital, positioning XRP for wider adoption like Bitcoin ETFs in 2024.

    The possibility of an XRP Spot ETF becoming a reality is rising fast. According to Polymarket, the odds of approval have climbed to 83%, up from 73% earlier this month. With Ripple’s CEO Brad Garlinghouse strongly backing ETF developments, and major financial players like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton entering the race, the crypto market is buzzing with optimism.

    Let’s dive into what’s happening and why it matters.

    XRP Spot ETF Approval Odds Surge by 10%

    At the start of this month, Polymarket pegged the chances of an XRP spot ETF getting approved at 73%. As of now, the odds have jumped to 83%, reflecting growing confidence from the crypto community and investors alike.

    Despite the enthusiasm, the U.S. SEC has yet to approve any XRP Spot ETF application. Top firms like Bitwise, CoinShares, Grayscale, and Franklin Templeton have already filed interest.

    Experts say the delays are not unusual and point to October as the likely month for a decision. Given the SEC’s recent moves with Bitcoin ETFs, many expect XRP could be next in line.

    Brad Garlinghouse: XRP ETFs Could Unlock Institutional Capital

    In a recent episode of Ripple’s “Crypto in One Minute” podcast, CEO Brad Garlinghouse stated that ETFs are a gateway for traditional investors to enter the crypto space without dealing with private keys or exchanges.

    He emphasized that XRP ETFs could be a safer, regulated entry point for those hesitant to engage with crypto directly.

    Bitcoin Spot ETFs Set the Benchmark

    Garlinghouse highlighted the success of Bitcoin Spot ETFs, which became one of the fastest-growing ETF classes in history.

    • Total market cap: $130.77 Billion
    • 24-hour trading volume: $4.7 Billion
    • BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF AUM: $71.42 Billion

    Major players in this space include BlackRock, Fidelity, ARK/21Shares, Valkyrie, and others. The success of Bitcoin ETFs suggests a similar bullish trajectory could await XRP.
