XRP ETF Gets Closer to Reality: SEC Takes the Next Step
XRP ETF– The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has officially acknowledged the filing of a spot XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) proposal from Cboe BZX Exchange, on behalf of Canary Capital. This acknowledgment marks an important step in the process of potentially launching an XRP ETF. According to the SEC, the public has 21 days from the date the filing was published in the Federal Register to submit comments regarding the proposal. After this comment period, the SEC will decide whether to approve, reject, or initiate further proceedings on the filing.
The filing in question is a 19b-4, which is a key part of the two-step process required to propose a crypto ETF to the SEC. Once the SEC acknowledges a filing, the next step is for it to be published in the Federal Register, triggering the formal approval process. The SEC has already previously acknowledged similar filings for spot XRP ETFs from firms like 21Shares, Bitwise, Grayscale, and CoinShares. Additionally, Canary Capital has had a Litecoin ETF filing acknowledged by the SEC as well.
This latest filing comes on the heels of the SEC’s approval of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs last year. Following the shift to a crypto-friendly administration under former President Trump, the SEC has seen a surge in spot crypto ETF filings. A new crypto task force, led by SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, is also set to determine which crypto assets should be classified as securities, among other priorities.
As the SEC moves forward with the review of these filings, the crypto industry is watching closely, with hopes that the approval of a spot XRP ETF could provide a significant boost to the broader crypto market.
