SEC Delays WisdomTree Spot XRP ETF Decision to 2025

The U.S. SEC has postponed its decision on the WisdomTree Spot XRP ETF, with a new deadline set for October 24, 2025, impacting both regulatory and investment landscapes.

This delay reflects ongoing scrutiny towards XRP ETFs, with expectations of substantial institutional interest similar to previous Bitcoin and Ethereum ETF launches.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has delayed its decision on the WisdomTree Spot XRP ETF application, moving the deadline to October 24, 2025. This mirrors the regulator’s earlier actions with Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs.

WisdomTree , the asset manager applying for the spot XRP ETF, faces further delay due to the SEC’s extended review. Key entities Grayscale, 21Shares, and others are similarly affected, as all 11+ applications are now under review.

The decision to delay has maintained XRP’s price stability at around $2.96, with minimal immediate market impact observed. Institutional interest remains high, evident from significant inflows into existing XRP futures products.

The delay could influence the anticipated $5–8 billion in institutional capital expected upon approval, aligning with patterns noted in past BTC and ETH ETF launches. These inflows could prove transformative for XRP’s market presence.

Future regulatory and market trends may hinge on SEC’s actions, shaping perceptions of crypto asset legitimacy. Institutional dynamics could shift, replicating the positive reactions seen with BTC and ETH ETF breakthroughs.

Historical analyses reveal market volatility and sentiment shifts following SEC decisions, often resulting in asset value surges post-approval. Such outcomes indicate the potential for significant XRP gains on securing ETF approval. James Seyffart, ETF Analyst at Bloomberg, noted, “The tweaks were probably in response to feedback from the SEC—a nice signal, even if it was anticipated.”
