The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has exerted further influence on the market with its decision to delay several proposed XRP-based ETFs. This update has once again drawn attention to Ripple and its token XRP.
SEC Delays on XRP ETFs
According to TheCryptoBasic, the SEC has postponed decisions on the 21Shares Core XRP ETF, CoinShares XRP ETF, and Grayscale XRP Trust to late October 2025. Analyst Zach Rector believes this timing could support XRP price growth in the coming weeks as anticipation builds.
Unique Features of the Current XRP Situation
Ripple focuses on moving value across borders for banks and payment companies, with XRP acting as a bridge asset that facilitates quick settlements. A cleaner regulatory backdrop could make it easier to price XRP.
Impact of Timelines on Ripple and Expected Outcomes
The schedule of anticipated SEC and OCC decisions may create highly charged conditions for Ripple and XRP. Inflow forecasts for such products only exacerbate the situation, with estimates ranging from three to eight billion dollars in the first year.
The market is now awaiting final decisions from the SEC and OCC, which could significantly alter the perception of XRP and the situation with Ripple, embarking on a new phase in their career against a backdrop of rising expectations.
