XRP ETF: Decision imminent – ​​A new glimmer of hope for investors!

The crypto world's attention is increasingly focused on the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's (SEC) upcoming decisions on various XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) applications, expected in October. The SEC faces the challenge of processing its approvals amid a government shutdown that has reduced staff and could potentially affect approval timelines. Six relevant applications are on the list, including the Grayscale XRP ETF, whose decision is expected on October 18, 2025.

NovaDius Wealth President Nate Geraci recently noted that important changes are in the works to the S-1 amendments of companies such as Bitwise, Franklin, 21Shares, WisdomTree, Grayscale and Canary. Most notably, Grayscale changed its ticker to “GXRP,” underscoring the urgency of the upcoming approvals. Other amendments also include new ticker symbols, further increasing anticipation for the potential approvals.

The upcoming decisions in detail

The SEC's upcoming decisions affect the following ETF applications:

• Grayscale XRP ETF – Entscheidung am 18. Oktober
• 21Shares Core XRP Trust ETF – Entscheidung am 19. Oktober
• Bitwise XRP ETF – Entscheidung am 22. Oktober
• Canary Capital XRP ETF – Entscheidung am 23. Oktober
• CoinShares XRP ETF – Entscheidung am 23. Oktober
• WisdomTree XRP ETF – Entscheidung am 24. Oktober

Geraci adds that the SEC must approve these S-1 filings before the ETFs can actually come to market. However, there are uncertainties arising from a missed SEC approval deadline at the beginning of October. The ongoing government shutdown has left the SEC operating with limited resources, which could delay the timeliness for processing applications. The situation is further complicated by speculation that approval deadlines may no longer be relevant now that the SEC has withdrawn the 19b4 filings.

Effects of the government shutdown

The possibility that new spot crypto ETFs, including the XRP ETFs, may not launch until after the government shutdown ends and the SEC returns to full capacity raises questions. These uncertainties could affect both investors and market participants in their planning.

Overall, the current situation suggests that approval of an XRP ETF could be imminent if the SEC can return to normal activities. Investors and market observers are eagerly awaiting developments in the coming days and weeks.
