SEC acknowledges spot XRP ETF filing from Bitwise image 0

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission acknowledged Tuesday a spot XRP ETF filing from Cboe BZX Exchange, on behalf of Bitwise, to list and trade shares of the Bitwise XRP ETF.

In a filing acknowledging the proposal, the SEC asked for comments to be sent 21 days after its filing was published in the Federal Register. The agency could then decide to approve, disapprove or "institute proceedings."

A 19b-4 filing is the second part of a two-step process for proposing a crypto ETF to the SEC. Once acknowledged, the filing will be published in the Federal Register, initiating the agency's approval process. The SEC previously acknowledged spot XRP ETF filings from 21Shares and Grayscale , and has yet to acknowledge those from Canary Capital and WisdomTree .

The SEC approved the listing of  spot Bitcoin ETFs  in January 2024 and  spot Ethereum ETFs in July. Issuers have flooded the zone with spot crypto ETF filings over the past few months in light of the crypto-friendly Trump administration taking office. A new crypto task force , led by Republican SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce, will work on distinguishing which “crypto assets” are securities, among many other priorities.

Bloomberg ETF analysts James Seyffart and Eric Balchunas believe exchange-traded products based on XRP have a 65% chance of approval.

XRP is the third-largest cryptocurrency by market cap and trades at around $2.52 at publication time, according to The Block's price data .
