XRP\u2019s ETF journey is heating up with fresh debates, surprising demand numbers, and mounting regulatory delays. Bloomberg analysts say demand will be smaller compared to Bitcoin, yet new data shows rising interest in XRP products.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the U.S. SEC has delayed decisions on multiple XRP ETF filings, leaving investors waiting for clarity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now, the big question is, will 2025 finally be XRP\u2019s ETF breakthrough year?<\/p>\n

Expert Clarifies Demand for XRP ETFs<\/h2>\n

Bloomberg senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas recently clarified his comments on XRP ETFs. He stressed that analysts never claimed there was \u201cno demand\u201d for XRP. Instead, Balchunas pointed out that demand naturally falls the further you go from Bitcoin.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This means XRP ETFs will likely see lower demand compared to Bitcoin ETFs \u2014 but not zero.<\/p>\n

We never said no demand. We did however make up an easy to remember rhyme to describe how alt coin etfs will likely play out: \u201cthe further away you get from btc, the less assets there will be.\u201d https:\/\/t.co\/661keZboUt<\/a><\/p>\n

While some doubt XRP\u2019s ETF potential, recent numbers suggest otherwise. CME Group, a global trading giant, revealed that XRP futures crossed $1 billion in open interest (OI) in under four months, the fastest contract to hit that milestone.<\/p>\n

At the same time, futures-based XRP ETFs already crossed $800 million, signaling big institutional appetite.<\/p>\n

SEC Pushes Back Deadlines<\/h2>\n

Despite this momentum, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has once again delayed its review of XRP ETF filings<\/a>. Currently, the first major deadline is October 18, when the SEC must decide on Grayscale\u2019s XRP ETF application.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More deadlines follow quickly after, ending by October 25. Franklin Templeton\u2019s application remains on a slightly different timeline.<\/p>\n

Odds of Approval Still Strong<\/h2>\n

Despite the delays, optimism remains. Bloomberg analyst James Seyffart believes there is a 95% chance that the SEC will approve XRP ETFs this year. Adding to this confidence, betting platform Polymarket<\/a> also shows an 82% probability of approval in 2025.<\/p>\n

Amid the ETF buzz, XRP\u2019s price climbed 5% today bouncing from $2.85 to $3.00, with its market cap hitting $178.3 billion<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
