BlackRock Discusses Crypto’s Future with SEC: Could an XRP ETF Be Next?

In a recent meeting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) Crypto Task Force, BlackRock explored key regulatory issues in the digital assets landscape. The focus included integrating staking into crypto exchange-traded products (ETPs), analyzing how tokenizing traditional securities might be handled under existing laws, and examining criteria for approving crypto-based ETPs. Notably, BlackRock addressed updates on its existing digital asset offerings like the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), iShares Ethereum Trust (ETHA) and the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL).
