XRP News Today: BlackRock Poised to File XRP ETF by Q4 2025 as Ripple Lawsuit Concludes

BlackRock is expected to file for a spot XRP ETF with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by late 2025, according to several industry analysts. This projection is attributed to Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius and a prominent voice in the ETF space, who has cited BlackRock’s prior success with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs as a key indicator of its potential move into XRP. However, as of now, the firm has not made any public announcements or submitted formal applications for XRP-related products [1].

The anticipated filing is closely linked to the resolution of Ripple’s legal battle with the SEC, which recently concluded its appeal process. Geraci suggested that BlackRock is likely to align its XRP ETF filing with the SEC’s final decision deadline for XRP and Solana ETF applications, expected to be in Q4 2025. The firm is predicted to aim for a submission by or near October to remain competitive in the expanding spot crypto ETF market [2].

Analysts suggest that the approval of a BlackRock XRP ETF could significantly reshape the cryptocurrency investment landscape. Institutional investors may increase exposure to XRP, leveraging BlackRock’s market reach and credibility. The firm’s track record with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs demonstrated substantial market shifts and inflows, suggesting a similar effect could follow for XRP if approved. JPMorgan Chase has previously estimated that up to $8 billion could flow into XRP by the end of 2025 as a result of new ETF products [6].

Geraci also emphasized that investor demand and the growing adoption of multi-chain strategies are driving factors behind BlackRock’s potential XRP ETF move. The timing of the filing is expected to align with broader regulatory developments, particularly if the SEC adopts a more favorable stance toward crypto asset products. While the firm has yet to act, it is anticipated that BlackRock will file soon to maintain its leadership in the space [7].

The potential approval of an XRP ETF is being closely watched by the broader market. XRP has recently shown bullish momentum, rising 4% following news of the potential filing. Despite the optimism, the odds of ETF approval have dipped slightly to 65%. Investors and analysts remain cautiously optimistic, with regulatory clarity seen as a critical factor influencing XRP’s price action in the coming months [8].
