XRP ETF Push Gains Momentum as Asset Managers File Key Documents with SEC
The push for XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) is gaining significant momentum, as asset managers move forward with their applications, bringing the prospect of these investment products closer to reality.
Recently, the Cboe BZX Exchange filed the necessary 19b-4 forms with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on behalf of several firms, including Canary Capital, Bitwise Investments, WisdomTree, and 21Shares, requesting approval to launch XRP ETFs.
These 19b-4 forms are crucial for the SEC’s review of the proposed XRP ETFs. They essentially outline how these investment products will operate, serving as a formal request for the SEC’s approval. While the filing represents a significant step, the SEC has the ultimate say on whether to approve or deny the application. Once the SEC acknowledges the submission, it has a 240-day window to decide.

The filing is the latest development in a series of ETF applications, with the SEC having already considered similar requests for Litecoin ETFs. The news has sparked excitement within the XRP community, with Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressing optimism about the potential launch. Community figures also emphasized the long-term impact of XRP, predicting that future generations will recognize the significance of its early adopters.
If the ETF is approved, it would provide a pathway for traditional investors to gain exposure to XRP, potentially enhancing its integration into mainstream financial markets. The success of this application could mark a turning point for XRP’s role in the broader investment landscape.
