XRP News Today: Nasdaq Seeks to Add XRP, SOL, ADA, XLM to Crypto ETF Index by 2025

Nasdaq has filed a request to include four altcoins in its crypto ETF index, a move that could significantly impact the crypto market by the end of 2025. The four altcoins under consideration are XRP, SOL, ADA, and XLM. The SEC is expected to make a decision by November 2, 2025, and if approved, these altcoins could see a substantial increase in value.

According to analysis from AltcoinBuzz, this development could be the catalyst that triggers the next major market movement. Despite recent sideways price movements, the market is quietly preparing for its next big move. With institutional capital flowing in and regulatory decisions imminent, the final months of 2025 could deliver a strong rally.

Each of the four altcoins brings a unique value proposition that has garnered institutional and regulatory interest. XRP, for instance, has been a subject of high-profile legal battles with the SEC. Despite these challenges, Nasdaq's filing to include XRP in its crypto index suggests that regulatory clarity is improving, which could push XRP towards new all-time highs if an ETF is approved.

Solana (SOL) has been a top-performing altcoin due to its fast, low-cost blockchain. With strong developer support and growing adoption in decentralized apps and NFTs, SOL’s inclusion in a U.S. crypto ETF could attract significant institutional interest by the end of 2025.

Cardano (ADA) is favored in the crypto community for its focus on academic research and scalability. Adding ADA to Nasdaq’s crypto index would provide another regulated way for investors to gain exposure to this promising blockchain platform.

Stellar (XLM), often compared to Ripple, is designed for fast, low-cost cross-border payments. If approved, an XLM ETF would highlight the project’s ongoing partnerships and use cases in global finance, potentially driving demand and price.
