The SEC has acknowledged several spot XRP ETF filings from major asset managers such as CoinShares and WisdomTree. The acknowledgment initiates a 21-day public comment period before the commission makes a final decision within 240 days. While acknowledgment does not equate to approval, it is an important step toward potentially offering regulated XRP investment vehicles in the U.S. market.
