Crypto community members are growing more optimistic about an XRP (
$1.28 ) exchange-traded fund (ETF) approval following the resolution of a multi-year legal battle between Ripple and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
On March 19, Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse announced the case had concluded. In an X post, the Ripple executive said the SEC will drop its appeal against Ripple, ending the $1.3 billion unregistered securities suit that started in December 2020.
Following the development, Nate Geraci, president of the advisory firm ETF Store, said on X that the approval of an XRP (
$1.28 ) ( XRP (
$1.28 ) ) ETF is next. Geraci said it was “obvious” that it’s only a “matter of time” before the SEC approves an XRP (
$1.28 ) ETF.
The executive predicted that asset managers like BlackRock and Fidelity would be involved in offering the asset.
