XRP News Today: Seven Major XRP ETF Filers Await SEC Decision by October 2025

Analysts are increasingly optimistic that a U.S. spot XRP ETF could generate substantial investor demand if approved by the Securities and Exchange Commission. With major institutional players already filing applications and recent regulatory developments signaling a more open stance from the SEC, the market is anticipating a potential landmark approval in the coming months [1].

Nate Geraci, president of NovaDius Wealth Management, has highlighted the unprecedented momentum building around XRP. He noted that XRP futures have already reached over $1 billion in open interest on the CME in a record timeframe. Additionally, over $800 million is currently invested in futures-based XRP ETFs. Geraci believes these figures underscore a strong appetite for a spot product, suggesting that the market may be underestimating the potential for significant capital inflows [1].

Seven major asset managers—Bitwise, Grayscale, WisdomTree, 21Shares, Canary Capital, CoinShares, and Franklin Templeton—have submitted XRP ETF applications to the SEC. The agency has extended deadlines for several of these, with final decisions expected by October 2025. Analysts interpret this as a sign of ongoing regulatory review rather than outright rejection [1].

The Ethereum ETF approval process in 2023 is frequently referenced as a precedent. At that time, court actions compelled the SEC to maintain regulatory consistency between futures and spot products. Analysts now expect a similar approach could be applied to XRP, particularly as recent S-1 filing updates are seen as a sign of ongoing dialogue between issuers and the SEC. James Seyffart of Bloomberg has noted that such amendments typically indicate constructive engagement [1].

Beyond institutional interest, a strong retail-driven component is also being considered. John Deaton, an attorney and advocate for XRP holders during the Ripple vs. SEC case, has emphasized the potential role of the “XRP Army.” He pointed to the community’s mobilization during the legal battle, where 75,000 holders from 143 countries formally participated in the case. Deaton believes this same grassroots energy could drive significant adoption of XRP ETFs, citing past successes such as the rapid popularity of Gemini’s XRP credit card [1].

With final regulatory decisions expected in late 2025, analysts predict growing pressure on the SEC to approve at least one spot XRP ETF. If approved, XRP would become the third major cryptocurrency—after Bitcoin and Ethereum—to be offered in a U.S. spot ETF format. This could unlock a new wave of institutional and retail demand, further integrating digital assets into traditional investment strategies [1].
