XRP Nears U.S. Spot ETF Approval as Futures Listings and SEC Standards Boost Confidence
XRP is moving toward U.S. spot ETF approval after debuting futures on Coinbase Derivatives in April and CME in May 2025, satisfying new SEC rules requiring six months of futures trading before ETF listing.
Messari’s latest report shows XRP’s market cap up 8.5% in Q2 to $132 billion, boosted by growing stablecoin activity and real-world asset tokenization on XRPL. Confidence surged further in August as major asset managers, including Grayscale, Coinshares, and Wisdomtree, submitted ETF filings. Bloomberg analysts now put approval odds at 95%, reinforcing Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse’s claim that an XRP ETF is “inevitable.”
