The post Analysts Predict XRP ETF Could Be a Billion-Dollar Fund Within Months appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
Crypto ETFs are in focus as demand surges across the market. Following strong inflows into altcoin ETFs like HBAR and LTC, attention is now shifting to a potential U.S. spot XRP ETF. Analysts believe it could trigger record-breaking demand once approved by the SEC.
Analysts Expect Massive Demand for XRP ETF
Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan believes that “the XRP Army will smash-buy the ETF.” He expects significant inflows, suggesting the fund could become a billion-dollar product within just the first few months.
ETF expert Nate Geraci shared a similar view that demand for an XRP ETF could far exceed current market expectations.
XRP ETFs Could See Up to $10B in Inflows
Earlier this month, Canary Capital CEO Steve McClurg predicted that XRP ETFs could attract between $5-$10 billion in inflows, which could even place them among the top-performing ETFs in history.
Seven U.S. spot XRP ETF applications are currently awaiting SEC approval expected between Oct. 18 and Nov. 14. This comes after the SEC approved new generic listing standards for spot crypto ETFs.
Leading issuers such as Bitwise, Canary Capital, Grayscale, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares and WisdomTree have filed updated S-1 forms with the SEC for spot XRP ETFs.
Prediction market platform Polymarket places the odds of a U.S. spot XRP ETF being approved in 2025 at over 99%.
What Are the Requirements for XRP ETF Approval?
SEC recently approved the new listing standards for spot crypto ETFs. The rules require at least six months of regulated futures trading before a spot ETF can be listed. XRP futures began trading on Coinbase in April 2025 and on CME in May 2025, setting the stage for potential approval and launch by year-end.
Global Momentum Builds
Internationally, the momentum is already building as three spot XRP ETFs debuted in Canada in June, while Hashdex introduced the first-ever XRP spot ETF in Brazil back in April.
The REX Osprey XRP ETF, the first XRP ETF offering spot exposure to XRP, (but not fully “pure” spot fund) recently crossed $100 million in assets under management. This highlights the broader mainstream adoption of XRP-based investment products.
These developments suggest that the launch could be nearing as issuers are responding to SEC feedback.
These developments show that momentum is rapidly building and XRP could soon join the list of officially approved spot crypto ETFs.
