Is A Spot ETF Next In Line For The XRP Tokens?

According to Eric Balchunas, a leading ETF analyst in Bloomberg, the odds of an XRP ETF being approved remains “pretty high”, especially as the SEC is currently in line to make the US a more crypto-friendly environment. At the moment, several spot XRP applications, especially from leading financial institutions like Grayscales, Bitwise, and Canary Capitals, are under review by the SEC.

The predictions made by Balchunas and fellow ETF analyst James Seyffart in February yielded an approval rate of 65%, while the one conducted by Polymarket stated a rate of 75%. Also, the XRP’s recent case settlement with the SEC works in its favor. Taking into account all of this, we can clearly see that XRP ETFs are definitely on the table; it’s just a matter of time, provided that the SEC approves them.
