U.S. XRP ETF on the Horizon?

The momentum for XRP investment products isn’t just limited to Brazil. All eyes are now turning to the U.S., where the possibility of an XRP ETF is heating up.

Following Ripple Labs’ settlement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), a major regulatory barrier has been removed. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, has voiced strong confidence that an XRP ETF is “inevitable”, pointing to the growing demand from both institutional and retail investors.

Optimism has also surged thanks to the crypto-friendly stance of the Trump administration, with former President Donald Trump even advocating for XRP’s inclusion in the U.S. government’s official crypto reserves.

Adding more fuel to the fire, CME Group recently announced plans to launch XRP futures contracts on May 19, a strong signal that institutional interest in XRP is on the rise.

Although the SEC’s final decision is still pending, all signs suggest that the U.S. could soon follow Brazil’s lead in launching an XRP ETF, marking another major leap forward for XRP and the broader crypto industry.
