False rumors about the SEC declaring XRP an official US strategic reserve asset caused a stir within the crypto community yesterday, with many users expressing skepticism. Despite these claims, no official announcement was made, further fueling online speculation. While Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse expressed optimism for XRP’s future and even suggested its potential inclusion in the White House’s digital asset stockpile, the SEC has yet to approve any spot-based XRP ETFs. ProShares’ XRP Futures ETFs received approval from the SEC, leading to a surge of over 7% for XRP despite confusion stemming from an outdated regulatory filing. While ProShares remains tight-lipped regarding launch dates and the SEC hasn’t approved applications, there are signs of optimism, with Polymarket predicting a U.S. XRP spot ETF approval by December 2025.
