The odds of an XRP exchange-traded fund (ETF) receiving regulatory approval have surged, reaching 85% according to Bloomberg analysts. This shift marks a significant departure from past regulatory caution, potentially triggering historic market shifts. The change is attributed to recent leadership changes at the SEC and growing interest from established asset managers like Grayscale and WisdomTree, who have all submitted proposals for XRP ETFs. Several factors are driving this anticipation: the rising probability of approval (from 65% to 85%), the six major asset management firms launching ETF proposals, continued SEC delays in specific cases, and even a dramatic increase in market sentiment on platforms like Polymarket. If approved, this would not only be a regulatory milestone but also signal a crucial step towards legitimizing XRP. The impact could extend beyond just a market shift; it may lead to increased institutional investment and push the asset back into its former top-ranking position within the crypto landscape.
