ProShares XRP ETF Tease Sends Crypto Twitter Into a Frenzy—Again
Another day, another ’imminent’ ETF rumor that somehow still moves markets. ProShares had traders scrambling this week with whispers of an XRP fund—only to deliver the crypto equivalent of a shrug.
Here’s what actually happened: A routine SEC filing got misinterpreted as an XRP ETF launch. Cue the predictable cycle of hype, confusion, and the slow realization that Wall Street still treats most altcoins like radioactive waste.
The kicker? This isn’t even the first XRP ETF false alarm this year. But hey, why let facts get in the way of a good speculative frenzy?
XRP ETF Futures Launch
Bloomberg ETF analyst James Seyffart emphasized that no official date has been determined for the product’s launch. Reports indicate that the market is hoping for a new ETF launch in the short to medium term.
James Seyffart: “Currently, no official launch date has been set.”
ProShares officials clarified the rumors, stating that there is no plan for any ETF launch on April 30. Insights from the company highlight that there is currently no clear plan for product launch.
ProShares Official: “At this moment, no ETF launch is planned for the week.”
Furthermore, it has been stated that new products will not hold XRP directly but will provide access to investors through futures contracts. These products aim to present an alternative approach to market conditions by offering various Leveraged and inverse options.
Nate Geraci, President of The ETF Store, emphasized that upcoming ETFs will be based on futures contracts rather than spot products.
Spot XRP ETF Insights
The CORE of the issue appears to be based on misinterpretations of regulatory documentation dated April 15. Unverified information spread across various media and social platforms led to misunderstandings. It’s also known that the SEC has yet to approve any spot-based ETF applications.
While evaluating futures-based ETF applications, the SEC is conducting more detailed risk assessments regarding spot products. It is anticipated that the Chairman of the SEC will play a significant role in the evaluation of ETF applications in the future.
Current market speculation reiterates the necessity for investors to closely follow official statements. The information received underlines the importance of considering the regulatory process and product features, suggesting that tracking updated and verified sources is crucial for making informed decisions.
