Ripple CEO Predicts XRP ETFs in 2025, Sparking Debate

A resurfaced video of Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, speaking at DC Fintech Week in October 2024 has reignited discussion about the potential for exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for XRP. Garlinghouse emphasized the surging popularity of Bitcoin ETFs after their U.S. launch in January 2024, noting they attracted a staggering $17 billion in inflows. This rapid growth suggests strong demand from both institutions and retail investors for crypto exposure, according to Garlinghouse.
