Historical trends in the crypto sector show that the introduction of Bitcoin and Ethereum Futures ETFs was preceded by a larger market acceptance and price development. For both assets, ETFs were later approved on a cashabasis, a pattern that XRP could follow in the opinion of some market observers.
Future ETFs could arouse the interest of institutions. Of the more than 70 Crypto-related ETF registrations in the US stock exchange supervision (SEC) concern at least 11 XRP spot products. A functioning futures market could be a necessary basis for these products, especially under the new regulatory management.
New SEC top influences the political direction
The general political environment for cryptocurrencies in the USA has experienced a remarkable change. Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner, who is known for his market-friendly attitude Reports the office of SEC chairman. This change follows the growing criticism of the commission’s approach to regulating cryptocurrencies under the former chairman Gary Gensler.
In the past, Atkins has campaigned for rules that promote innovations and at the same time ensure the protection of investors. His leadership could help create a regulatory climate that is more open to crypto ETFs and institutional participation. This shift coincides with the decision of the Federal Reserve to allow the banks to participate in digital assets, which is another signal for a coordinated change in the Federal Government’s attitude.
In parallel to these developments, Ripple’s ongoing legal dispute seems to dissolve with the SEC. The case that was about whether XRP was to be classified as security has dragged on since the end of 2020. Right analysts now believe that an agreement is within reach. Should the agreement be reached, it would eliminate a long -term source of uncertainty in connection with XRP and open the door for new financial products and a wider participation in the market.
Strategics Growth and international recognition
Beyond the borders of the United States, XRP has gained traction in the global markets. The Brazilian B3 Exchange recently listed XRP H11, an XRP-Spot-ETF that was launched by the asset manager hashdex. XRP keeps the funds back and represents one of the few XRP spot products available in regulated markets. This step supports the observation that the institutional interest in XRP is growing beyond the US Jurisdiction.
At the same time, XRP has appeared in political discussions in connection with the national reserves. According to reports, US President Donald Trump has reported to XRP in the list of digital assets that are considered for the diversification of state assets. Even if this recording is symbolic, it could reflect a growing strategic interest in blockchain-based instruments at the highest level of government.
