Cryptocurrency XRP may launch an Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) this year, with the earliest application expected to be filed in the coming months. Cryptocurrency influencer Ben Armstrong hinted at the upcoming XRP ETF in a video, stating that the application could be submitted in April and coinciding with the planned conclusion of SEC's lawsuit against Ripple. Armstrong mentioned that BlackRock, one of the world's largest asset management companies and a leading manager for Bitcoin ETFs, will be among the first to introduce an XRP ETF.
