Just like approved Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, filing its submission after the model has been used for Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the BlackRock XRP ETF can be approved in a period that is 6 to 8 months after its filing. The SEC’s part decision behind Ripple is that automated XRP transactions do not qualify as security.

BlackRock’s meeting request specifically addresses:

“Crypto ETF Approval Standards: Discuss the standards applied for improving crypto ETF filings, including ‘sufficient’ means to meet the standards under Section 6(b) of the Exchange Act and considerations for a potential interim framework for ETP issuer activities.”
