XRP ETFs See Progress Despite Government Shutdown Delay

Asset manager filings for XRP exchange-traded funds (ETFs) show movement forward despite the ongoing government shutdown in Washington. Several issuers, including Grayscale, Bitwise, Franklin Templeton, 21Shares, WisdomTree, and Canary, have quietly amended their proposals this week, suggesting a finalization of the approval process that could lead to a launch soon after operations resume. These updates include new ticker symbols for the funds, indicating preparation for trading once reviews restart, as well as new structural and administrative details for a seamless relaunch when the SEC resumes operations.
