Spot XRP ETF Launch Expected Within Two Weeks

• ETF analyst Nate Geraci, president of the ETF Store, recently said he expects the first spot XRP ETFs to launch in the U.S. within the next two weeks. This comes just months after the SEC wrapped up its five-year legal battle with Ripple Labs, ending one of crypto’s longest regulatory fights.

• Launching spot XRP ETFs is a big deal. For the first time, institutional investors would get regulated access to XRP — a token the SEC once called a security. While this could bring more liquidity and credibility to Ripple’s ecosystem, it might also trigger short-term volatility as markets digest new money flows. Some analysts worry that jumping from lawsuit to regulated product so quickly could strain market infrastructure.

• An approved XRP ETF could unlock billions in institutional money, similar to what happened when Bitcoin and Ethereum spot ETFs launched earlier this year. For Ripple, it’s both symbolic and practical — rebuilding trust with traditional finance while boosting XRP’s role in cross-border payments.

• The timing shows how fast things are changing in Washington. Just three months ago, the SEC was still suing Ripple. Now, with spot XRP ETFs on the way, regulators seem ready to embrace crypto as part of standard investing. Many in the industry see this as proof that hardline anti-crypto enforcement is fading.

According to NateGeraci: “The launch of spot XRP ETFs represents the final nail in the coffin of previous anti-crypto regulators. We’ve come a long way.”

• If he’s right, this launch will be historic — turning XRP from a regulatory target into a key player in the next era of crypto finance.
